What is a Lashing Chain?
A lashing chain is an essential component used to secure heavy loads during transportation. Commonly used in recovery operations, lashing chains are ideal for securing broken-down vehicles, construction machinery like diggers and tractors, and heavy steel loads. Our chains are engineered to meet BS EN12195-3 standards, offering the highest levels of performance and safety.
At ULS, we offer a variety of chain sizes to suit different applications:
8mm Lashing Chain: Offers a 4-tonne lashing capacity with an 8-tonne minimum breaking load. Ideal for smaller loads like mini-diggers.
10mm Lashing Chain: Our most popular size, with a 6.3-tonne capacity and a 12.6-tonne breaking load—perfect for medium-sized loads and vehicles.
13mm & 16mm Lashing Chains: For heavy-duty applications, these chains can handle capacities of 10 tonnes and 16 tonnes, respectively.
No matter the load size, we can customize your chain with the right fittings and length to ensure secure transport.
Lashing Chain Kits
For added convenience, ULS offers pre-configured lashing chain kits, which come complete with chains, hooks, and ratchet load binders. These kits are ideal for clients who need a ready-to-use tie-down solution.
You can customize your kit by selecting:
Chain diameter (from 8mm to 16mm)
End fittings (grab hooks, sling hooks, etc.)
Chain length based on your requirements
Ratchet load binders to secure the chain
Our lashing chain kits are designed to simplify the buying process, making it easy to find the perfect configuration for securing your load.
Lashing Chain End Fittings
The right end fitting is critical for ensuring that your load stays secure. We offer two main types of end fittings to suit your application:
Grab Hooks: These are slightly wider than the chain link and are designed to easily attach and lock onto any part of the chain.
Sling Hooks: These are used for choking or tightening around the chain and are perfect for achieving maximum tension.
ULS can customize your lashing chain with the correct end fitting to suit your vehicle, lashing point, or container.
Ratchet Load Binders
Our ratchet load binders are the perfect accessory to tighten and secure your lashing chain. Available in four sizes, they are designed to work seamlessly with different chain diameters. Once the load is secure, the ratchet system ensures that the chain remains tight, only releasing when you are ready.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a lashing chain used for?
A lashing chain is commonly used to secure heavy machinery, vehicles, steel structures, or other large loads during transport. It prevents the load from shifting, ensuring safe transit whether on the road or at sea.
How do I choose the right size lashing chain?
The size of the lashing chain depends on the weight and type of load you're securing. For smaller loads, an 8mm chain with a 4-tonne capacity might suffice. For larger loads, you may need a 10mm, 13mm, or 16mm chain, each with progressively higher lashing capacities.
What are lashing chain end fittings?
End fittings are the hooks or fasteners at the end of the chain, designed to attach the chain to the lashing points. The two most common types are grab hooks, which lock onto the chain, and sling hooks, which tighten around the chain for extra security.
What is a ratchet load binder?
A ratchet load binder is a device used to tighten and secure the lashing chain. It works by ratcheting the chain tighter to ensure there is no slack, securing the load in place.
Can I customize my lashing chain kit?
Yes! ULS offers fully customizable lashing chain kits. You can select your desired chain diameter, length, end fittings, and add a chain ratchet puller to complete your kit. We also provide rapid assembly and dispatch, often within one day.
