SECTION 11.4
11.4.4 Procedures and precautions for lashing heavy vehicles and special equipments
11.4.4.1 General procedures
When ever the heavy vehicles such as trucks, Buses, mafi trailers, Excavators and road
rollers to be loaded, the lashing used should have the SWL more than the weight of
cargo.
When the chain lashing are being used, precaution should be taken that the paint on the
body of the vehicle does not get damaged.
The straps and claspers should not be used on the parts which have sharp edges. This
may cause the damage to lashings and eventually cargo becoming loose during the
voyage.
If the loaded units are provided with securing points, then these securing points should
only be used for affixing the hooks of lashing chains. Using other points and leaving the
securing points unused is not desirable.
Care should be taken while fixing these hooks to securing point to avoid any paint
scratches. Padding may be added below the hooks.
Ensure chain is not touching any body part of loaded unit.
Chain lashing should always be fixed to proper lashing points on deck. And never to the
D rings and holes intended for lashing of cars.
