Secure your load: A guide to lashing straps

In logistics and transportation , cargo security is of utmost importance. This is where the lashing band comes into play – an indispensable tool that ensures safety during transport through effective load securing . In this blog post, we will explain the different lashing methods, such as top- over lashing , cross lashing , and loop lashing , and highlight the advantages of the lashing band.

Top Over Lashing

Top-over lashing is used to secure the load directly onto the means of transport. The lashing strap is placed over the top of the load and secured to the sides. It is important that suitable lashing points are available and used. This method is particularly suitable for containers, trucks, or railway wagons to protect the load from slipping or tipping . The taut positioning of the strap exerts firm pressure on the load, providing additional stability.

Cross Lashing

Cross lashing is a technique in which the lashing strap is placed in a cross pattern across the load. This method is particularly effective for securing irregularly shaped or bulky goods . By crossing the strap in the middle, the load is supported on all four sides, providing comprehensive protection against movement in all directions. Cross lashing is ideal for goods that, due to their shape or size, have a higher tendency to slip . With cross lashing, it is also important that appropriate lashing points are available and used.

Loop Lashing

Loop lashing is a method in which the lashing band is looped around the load and the means of transport, similar to a belt. This form of lashing is often used to tie several smaller units together or to provide additional security for heavy or valuable loads. Loop lashing ensures that the load is moved as a unified block , minimizing the risk of damage or loss.

FAQ zum Thema Lashband

1. Was bedeutet Lashing in der Ladungssicherung?

„Lashing“ bezeichnet ein spezielles Verfahren zur Sicherung von Ladung mit Bändern (meist Polyester) auf Containern, Paletten oder Fahrzeugen. Dabei werden Lashbänder mithilfe von Ratschen oder Klemmsystemen gespannt, um die Ladung gegen Verrutschen, Kippen oder Herausfallen zu sichern. Diese Methode wird vor allem im Export, bei Seecontainern und auf Flachbettfahrzeugen eingesetzt.

2. Was ist ein Ladungssicherungsband (Lashband)?

Ein Ladungssicherungsband – oft einfach Lashband genannt – ist ein hochfestes Polyesterband, das ähnlich wie ein Zurrgurt eingesetzt wird. Es ist leicht, flexibel, korrosionsfrei und ideal für den einmaligen oder wiederholten Gebrauch.

3. Wie verwendet man Lashband richtig? (Anleitung)

Die Anwendung erfolgt in mehreren Schritten:

Lashband positionieren – das Band wird um oder über die Ladung gelegt.
Klemmen oder Ratschen anbringen – je nach System wird das Band gespannt oder fixiert.
Band straffen – gleichmäßige Spannung sorgt für optimale Sicherung.
Fixieren oder verschließen – z. B. mit Verschlüssen oder Spezialwerkzeugen.
Sicherung prüfen – lose Enden abschneiden, Spannkraft kontrollieren.

Wichtig: Die Befestigungspunkte müssen stabil sein, um die Kräfte im Transport aufzunehmen.
