Recambiosdelcamion.com recommends fastening elements that comply with the new load regulations

June 20, 2018
The new regulation on cargo fastening elements in trucks and vans for commercial use (included in Royal Decree 563/2017 already in force) forces transport professionals to be more cautious with the selection of their spare parts and spare parts linked to this category, and, above all, in the use of cargo fastening and lashing elements. For this reason, at sparepartsdelcamion.com we recommend the use of cargo fastening elements such as those offered in our online catalog and that combine quality and good price and that meet the requirements of the new legislation.
Recambiosdelcamion.com recommends fastening elements that comply with the new load regulations

The truck driversand professionalsof the road transportmust be stricter than ever during the loading and stowage of their trucks, trucks, vans and professional vehicles for transporting merchandise as they may be subject to inspection by traffic agents (Civil Guard , Ertzaina and Mossos d'Esquadra) regardless of the age of the vehicle. The agents will carry tensiometersand will carry out inspections to detect minor deficiencies (on which they will only make safety recommendations), serious (when the load is not well secured and can move or overturn) and dangerous (which pose a direct danger to traffic safety such as loss of cargo). Depending on the seriousness of the deficiencies, the vehicle will be sanctioned or immobilized. 

To comply with the new Royal Decree, recambiosdelcamion.com reminds that the fastening elements must endure  0.8 times the weight of the load in the direction of travel and 0.6 in the opposite direction and in the lateral direction.  In addition, the regulatory moorings must prevent the transverse and longitudinal inclination of the transported load. In this line, recambiosdelcamion.com recommends the use of the following accessoriesspare partsand spare partsrelated to load retention: direct or superior moorings, hitches and immobilizers (general or local).

The new regulations -applicable throughout Spain- detail that spare parts and loading partsmust meet a series of standards. Among them, the ISO 1161 and ISO 1496 certificates.

Among the standards include EN 12195-1 (which applies to fixing, lashing and locking elements and is relates to the dimensions of the fastening elements), EN 12640 (which specifies the characteristics of the lashing points in industrial vehicles and  trailers whose maximum total mass is greater than 3.5 tons),  EN 12642 (on bodywork), EN 12195-2 (which regulates load securing devices and safety requirements for lashing straps made of synthetic fibres), EN 12195-3 (fastening chains for safe transport), EN 12195-4 (for flat lashing cables and steel cables), EN 12641-1 (strength and fastening requirements for container and swap body tarpaulins), EN 12641-2 (curtains sides) as well as EN 12640 and EN 12642 option XL for fixing the load
