Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the optimal placement for the lashing rings based on the size and weight distribution of the load.
- Position the lashing ring and its corresponding backplate on the desired surface (e.g., trailer floor, truck bed). Ensure the backplate is positioned to distribute the load evenly.
- Mark the drill holes for the bolts.
- Drill the holes, ensuring they are appropriately sized for the included M5 bolts.
- Insert the bolts through the lashing ring, the mounting surface, and the backplate. Secure them using the provided spring washers and nuts (if applicable, though nuts are not explicitly listed, washers and bolts are).
- Tighten all bolts securely. It is recommended to re-check tightness after the first use of the secured load.
Compatibility:
These lashing rings are compatible with most flat surfaces on trailers, lorry beds, and pick-up trucks. The mounting system accommodates surfaces that can be drilled to accept M5 bolts. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of withstanding the forces exerted by the load.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the lashing rings and mounting points for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Clean the rings with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized coating.
- Ensure bolts remain tightened. Periodically re-tighten if necessary, especially after heavy use or exposure to vibrations.
