Lashing on a Transport Vehicle
The Mobile Lifter must be lashed to the loading area of the transport vehicle on a transport pallet for possible on-
ward transport. For this purpose, at least 2 lashing straps with the appropriate load-bearing capacity must be used.
The responsibility for safe loading is borne by the respective shipper!
Please note the following when lashing in the transport vehicle:
•
The loading area of the transport vehicle must always be clean and dry.
•
The lashing straps used must be suitable for the total weight of the Mobile Lifter (net weight approx. 440 kg).
•
Moving and loose parts must be clamped, locked or separately secured for transport.
•
Fastening on the loading area is done by lashing down: This means that the transport pallet is secured by fric-
tional locking. The load is pressed so firmly onto the loading surface that it can no longer slip. The clamping
tool should have a high STF value at the frictional connection, e.g. long-lever ratchets.
•
In addition, anti-slip mats should be used to provide even more safety.
•
The ideal lashing angle (α) for tie
-down lashing is 83° to 90°. Therefore, the lashing straps should pull down-
wards approx. vertically. As the angle decreases, the pretensioning force of the lashing is reduced.
•
Secure the Mobile Lifter additionally by bolting it to the pallet to prevent it from rolling away.
•
Observe the permissible total weight of the transport vehicle.
•
Ensure that the permissible axle loads of the transport vehicle are observed. The load must be distributed
evenly on all axles of the vehicle.
A separate lashing strap must be used for each lashing and must be tensioned individually on the
floor of the loading area of the vehicle! The pallet must also be secured against slipping.
