Alternatively, the surfaces of the devices can phosphatized in black matt color.

Technical functional surfaces, like spindles, threads, fits etc. do not have to be painted and may have a metallic surface.

2 Required technical specifications:

2.1 Lashing chains, general requirements to each

• according to DIN EN 12195-3

• required hook dimensions for all chains (16.000 daN and 20.000 daN) o Minimum hook mouse opening width (M) 48 mm o Maximum bottom thickness (T) 50 mm o Maximum thickness hook material (A) 58 mm

For information: Diameter of the lashing rings on trailer, where all the hooks must fit, is 64 mm

64 mm

• two piece system o piece 1 shortening device hook with safety latch ratchet tensioner chain links between shortening device and ratchet tensioner chain links between hook and ratchet tensioner o piece 2 hook with safety latch chain

2.1.1 Lashing chain, minimum LC 16.000 (sixteen thousand / 16,000) daN

• maximum 13 mm nominal chain size

• ratchet tensioner, minimum stroke 295 mm

• nominal system length (both pieces connected together in longest position) 3.500 mm (three-thousand five-hundred / 3,500 mm)

• minimum possible length (both pieces connected together in shortest possible position) below

1.310 mm (one-thousand three-hundred and ten mm / 1,310mm)

• maximum weight (both pieces together) 28.5 kg o maximum weight piece 1 (ratchet tensioner + hooks and chains) 15.00 kg

2.1.2 Lashing chain, minimum LC 20.000 (twenty thousand / 20,000) daN

• maximum 16 mm nominal chain size

• ratchet tensioner, minimum stroke 165 mm

• nominal system length (both pieces connected together in longest position) 3.500 mm (three-thousand five-hundred / 3,500 mm)

• minimum possible length (both pieces connected together in shortest possible position) below

1.390 mm (one-thousand three-hundred ninety / 1,390 mm)

• maximum weight (both pieces together) 42.50 kg o maximum weight piece 1 (ratchet tensioner + hooks and chains) 25.00 kg

2.2 Special traverse, minimum LC 32.000 daN

• maximum weight 16 kg o less than 16 kg is better for an easier handling

Thickening of material around area of hole ds is allowed if necessary, to reduce bearing pressure between outside shackle bolt surface and inside hole ds surface

• minimum diameter of holes (d) 65 mm o possibility of directly connecting the hooks of the chains from chapter 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 is required

• maximum diameter of hole (ds) 44 mm o bolt of shackle from chapter 2.3 must fit into the hole marked with (ds)

• maximum thickness (t) 40 mm

• maximum thickness (w) 56 mm o allows the thickening of material around hole ds to take up the forces from shackle, if this is required

• maximum spacing (s) 200 mm

• permanent marking with the LC rating according to VDI 2700 ff / EN 12195

• certificate from manufacturer, which confirms the marked LC rating and the device is allowed to be used for load securing

2.3 Shackle, minimum LC 32.000 (thirty-two thousand / 32,000) daN

• omega shackle

• safety pin

• maximum bolt diameter (d) 38 mm

• minimum inner width (w) 57 mm

• permanent marking with the LC rating according to VDI 2700 ff / EN 12195

• certificate from manufacturer, which confirms the marked LC rating and the device is allowed to be used for load securing

3 After-Sale Requirements The supplier must be able to perform the annual required inspections and recertification of the above named load securing materials. Alternatively, inspections and recertification can be performed from a 3rd party and not void the warranty.

Requirement for a minimum 2-year warranty.
