The Grade 80 lashing chains TWN 1401 with ratchet and shortenable lashing chains have a standard length of 3,5 m and are used in the heavy-duty area for lashing loads in road traffic. The chain tensioners with ratchet and trapezoidal thread achieve a high pretensioning force with little force impact. This property is of fundamental importance when lashing down, as the level of the pretensioning force contributes to load securing.
The manufacturing and testing requirements are based on DIN EN 12195-3.
