GOL IATH PRODUCT GUIDE | 2024/25 37 LASHING RINGS Things to consider when installing lashing rings on your truck or ute 1. EVEN DISTRIBUTION Distribute lashing rings evenly throughout the cargo area to ensure balanced and secure anchoring points. This helps prevent shifting or tilting of the cargo during transit. 2. ACCESSIBILITY Place lashing rings in locations that are easily accessible and convenient for attaching straps or tie-downs. Avoid positioning them too close to the edges of the cargo area, as this may limit access or interfere with securing the cargo. 3. CONSIDER CARGO SIZE AND SHAPE Position lashing rings based on the size and shape of the cargo you typically transport. For larger or irregularly shaped items, consider placing lashing rings closer to the centre of the cargo area to provide more versatile anchoring points. 4. SECURE ATTACHMENT POINTS Install lashing rings in areas of the vehicle bed or cargo area that provide a secure attachment point, such as structural cross members or reinforced mounting points. Avoid attaching lashing rings to weaker or less stable areas that may not withstand the force exerted by the cargo. 5. ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING OPTIONS Consider using lashing rings with adjustable mounting options, such as track systems or removable anchor points. These allow you to customise the positioning of the lashing rings based on the specific requirements of each load. 6. COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS Ensure that the positioning of lashing rings complies with any relevant regulations or standards governing cargo securement. These may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of cargo being transported. 7. TEST FOR STABILITY Before transporting cargo, test the stability and security of the lashing rings by applying tension to the straps or tie-downs. Ensure that the lashing rings remain firmly anchored and that the cargo is adequately secured to prevent movement or shifting during transit.
