Calculation Tools
• There are various calculation tools available. This example illustrates how to determine the number of lashings required to safely secure a load, based on 2 calculation tools:1. Quick Lashing Guide2. Quick Calculation Charts

1. Quick Lashing Guide
• Availability– Appendix 2 of the
EUROPEAN BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES ON CARGO SECURING FOR ROAD TRANSPORT
– Annex 3 of the International Guidelines on Safe Load Securing for Road Transport
– App for iOS and Android devices (search for keyword “Securing Cargo TYA”)
– Printed version (can be ordered on TYA’s website)

1. Quick Lashing Guide
The values in the Quick Lashing Guide are based on the following assumptions:– Lashing points resist 2000 daN– Webbings have a Lashing Capacity (LC) of 1600 daN– Webbings have an STF of 400 daN– Lashing angles are between 75 and 90
If values are different, the results must be adjusted by a multiplication factor (indicated in the guide).

Input Required – Part 1
• Check if the load restraint system meets the default values of the Quick Lashing Guide, i.e. for top-over lashing:– check that STF = 400– check that angle is between 75 and 90
In this case, both conditions are met, so no multiplication factor is required.

Calculation – Step 2
• Cargo weight front block: 6 tons– 1 lashing secures 0.38 tons– X lashings secure 6 tons– X = 6 / 0.38 = 15.8 = 16 lashings required
• Cargo weight rear block: 7 tons– 1 lashing secures 0.38 tons– Y lashings secure 6 tons– Y = 7 / 0.38 = 18.4 = 19 lashings required

• Availability– Available from AD Formation
• Notes– Multiple charts cover a variety of load mass and
lashing strength combinations, so there is no need to calculate any multiplication factor
