A lashing strap with a difference

Typically, lashing straps are used to tie down and secure cargo. But sometimes unconventional ways also lead to a goal

Creativity in maintenance
For example, one of our customers got creative to find a simple and effective safety measure for the maintenance of forklifts. In the process, their protective hoods have to be held up. In the past, this led to problems. In the lead role in this solution: a lashing strap. Previously, the protective hood had only been "supported" with wooden beams - a very error-prone design, as the beams tipped away even at slight contact and could no longer hold the hood. The result was bruising and other injuries to employees' hands.

The magic word is "flexible"
The customer's occupational safety department therefore had to quickly develop a flexible and robust solution. The safety officers took 2,000 daN lashing straps, attached their S-hooks to the protective hood, passed the 35 mm webbing once over the roof of the vehicle - and perfect strapping was ready, just like for load securing. Because the ratchet allows the strap length to be flexibly adjusted, this solution can also be used with forklift protective hoods of different sizes. A lashing strap with a difference, but used very cleverly!
