Lashing down
Lashing down is a common type of lashing to prevent objects from slipping unintentionally.
Examples:
- For road freight transport for frictional load securing; the lashings are not attached to the load, they "push the load down onto the loading area". The operating principle is thus to increase the normal force between the load and the support in order to increase the friction forces. This usually requires a large number of lashing devices and intermediate layers that increase the coefficient of friction.
- In the case of airplanes to protect against accidental blowing. In the picture, the securing devices are attached to special load receptacles both on the ground and on the aircraft to be secured. (In road traffic this would correspond to direct lashing, also called diagonal lashing.)
- For temporary structures such as open-air stages against wind load .
