Sturdy lashing points are essential for ensuring the safe transport of goods in vans, trucks, trailers and containers. Your chains or straps won't do much good without anything to fasten them to!
Here at Tensys Direct, we offer a selection of high-strength lashing rings to help you secure your cargo and comply with EN 12640 requirements
What Is EN 12640?
EN 12640 is the British standard for lashing points on commercial vehicles for goods transportation.
To achieve EN 12640 compliance, your lashing points must adhere to several parameters stated in BS EN 12640:2019. These parameters include:
- How the lashing point is designed and constructed
- The number of lashing points required for your operation
- The positioning of your lashing points along your vehicle
Each of these parameters is dependent upon your vehicle’s length, the distane between the lashing points, and how much weight your vehicle can legally carry.
If you have any questions about the rules for lashing points, please don't hesitate to contact Tensys Direct and a member of our team will be happy to help.
