LOAD TIEDOWN WHAT ARE LOAD TIEDOWN KITS?

WHAT ARE LOAD TIEDOWN KITS?

They are load tiedown systems or devices comprehending:

Ratchet: traction device, that is, a tensioning mechanism for maintaining the force applied to the tiedown systems. It can be movable or fixed, the latter with a traction device mounted on the vehicle.

Terminal: final accessory that connects the tiedown sling or the ratchet to the vehicle's anchoring point, location for its fixation, which must resist to the tiedown forces being determined in function of the body type.

Flat Slings: made with high tenacity synthetic fibers to fix loads aboard the vehicles, made according to the table below.

WIDTH	LABEL COLOR	PRODUCT	SAFETY FACTOR	Applicable Work Load
25mm		Polypropylene	2:1	200kg	400kg
35mm		Polypropylene	2:1	400kg	800kg
50mm		Polypropylene	2:1	750kg	1.500kg
50mm		Polyester	2:1	1.500kg	3.000kg
50mm		Polyester	2:1	2.00kg	4.000kg
50mm		Polyester	2:1	2.500kg	5.000kg
100mm		Polyester	2:1	5.000kg	10.000kg

We shall always remember that the load tiedown safety coefficient is 2:1 and it is described on a label in two ways and two values in CMT = Maximum Work Load.

For a safe load transportation, firstly we should compact the load to be bound, fulfilling the free spaces at the vehicle's body, using pallets, for instance, helping prevent the load from slipping.

	CMT = disruption load divided by 2
	CMT = disruption capacity
