Lashing and tensioning

Decide by type of effort

• Detachable metal connection → shackles, carabiners, rings, swivels and galvanized chains.
• Adjustable linear tension → galvanized turnbuckles, steel cable and compatible cable clamps.
• Manual or temporary tying → annealed wire, plastic-coated wire, ropes and nylon ties.
• Fixing pipes or cables → clamps and ties according to diameter, support and installation environment.
• Tarps, covers or flexible materials → eyelets, installation tools, ropes and elastic straps.

Important variables

• Nominal diameter: conditions compatibility between chain, cable, shackle, turnbuckle, cable clamp or clamp.
• Working load: must be verified according to the specific reference and intended use, especially in retention or continuous tension.
• Closure type: screw, spring, hook, shackle or swivel change the safety and speed of assembly.
• Outdoor environment: in humidity, bad weather or agricultural use, it is advisable to prioritize galvanized, zinc-plated or plastic-coated finishes.
• Rigidity or elasticity: a chain, a cable, a tie, a wire or an elastic strap do not work the same.

Checks before assembly

• Do not use light lashing elements for lifting, safety suspension or critical loads if they are not certified for that use.
• Do not combine steel cable and cable clamps without verifying compatible diameter and required number of fastenings.
• Do not choose a turnbuckle solely by length: check thread, effective travel, diameter and end type.
• Do not install ties, wires or ropes outdoors without assessing sun, humidity, friction and material degradation.
• Do not use elastic straps where the load must remain completely still or without tension recovery.
