Transport safety begins with proper load securing . A key element here are the lashing points , which are crucial for securely securing the load in both the truck and the container. Without stable and correctly positioned lashing points, it is almost impossible to reliably secure goods – with direct consequences for safety, regulations, and transport damage.
What are lashing points?
Lashing points are permanently installed attachment points on the loading area of a truck or container . Lashing devices such as tensioning straps or lashing chains are attached to them to secure the load against slipping or tipping .
- They are standardized and must withstand certain load values.
- Each lashing point has a defined load capacity (LC – Lashing Capacity).
Without tested and correctly arranged lashing points in the truck or container, secure load securing is not possible .
Lashing points in the container
Containers play a key role in international transport . Here, too, lashing points are provided within the container , integrated into the side walls or floor.
- They are used to secure the goods in the container in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner.
- The number, position and load capacity of the lashing points vary depending on the type of container.
- Proper use is essential, especially when transporting heavy loads or hazardous goods.
Lashing points in the truck
A truck is usually equipped with a number of truck lashing points located at the edges or in the middle of the loading area .
- The lashing points on the loading area allow flexible fastening options, depending on the size and shape of the load.
- Modern vehicles have lashing rails or rails that offer even more flexibility.
- If older vehicles are not sufficiently equipped, lashing points can be retrofitted in the truck to meet legal requirements.

Load securing with lashing points
The load securing with lashing points is carried out according to recognized methods such as tie-down lashing , direct lashing or diagonal lashing . The decisive factor here is:
- Correct number of lashing devices in combination with the existing lashing points.
- Load capacity of the lashing points in the truck – they must be able to safely absorb the applied forces.
- Check the condition – damaged or corroded lashing points must no longer be used.
Only if the lashing points for securing the load are used correctly will the load be truly safe on the road and at sea.
Load capacity of lashing points in trucks
The load capacity of the lashing points in the truck is a decisive criterion:
- Each lashing point has a defined holding force (usually between 500 daN and 2,000 daN).
- These values must be stated on a type plate or in the vehicle documents.
Conclusion on lashing points in trucks and containers
Whether in a container or on the truck bed, lashing points are the foundation for safe transport . They establish the connection between the load and the securing equipment and ensure that the cargo does not slip, even under braking or cornering loads .
