Advantages of Webbing Lashing Systems

  • All lashings are individually and uniquely numbered for traceability and safety.
  • High Tenacity Polyester webbing has a high resistance to abrasion – much higher than its polypropylene / Nylon equivalent.
  • Webbing does not weaken with age.
  • Ability to absorb shocks.
  • No hidden corrosion – can be easily checked by eye for damage.
  • Less risk of damage to the load or to painted/Coated surfaces.
  • Supple – can adapt to fit the load easily thereby reducing the chances of damage.
  • Easy and quick to use, saving time and thus saving costs.

Care and Use of Webbing Lashings:

  • Only use webbing lashings manufactured to EN 12195-2:2001
  • Only use lashings which are clearly marked with a rated assembly strength and minimum break strength.
  • Regularly check the system for cuts and frays in the webbing.
  • Never use a bar or lever to tighten the ratchet tensioner.
  • Protect the system from sharp edges.
  • Keep away from alkalis and strong acids.
  • Do not use for lifting.
  • Do not tie knots in the webbing to shorten it.
  • When the tensioner is a ratchet, ensure that there have been at least 2 complete turns of the spreader bars after threading.
