So use the spanifer correctly!

Problem -free shipping: Everything you should know about the correct use of Spanifer!

Safe recording is a basic condition for trouble -free consignment. We'll show you why the use of cargo recording strap is important and in what situations it is spanifer is what it is worth using.

One of the most important things during the shipment is the secure fixation of the cargo. The lack of this has many sources of danger, as the inadequate fixation can cause damage to hundreds of thousands or millions during transport. Not to mention that he can also lead to penalties.

In order to avoid this, we will need the proper quality cargo strap. The perfect spanifer However, it does not protect the cargo alone. In order for the delivery to be safe, we need to know the correct use of the cargo recording strap and the spanifer needed to fix the various cargo.

Now we show you why Spanifer is essential for shipping, how you can find the right solution, and how to use it correctly so that the cargo is always as secure and one hundred percent, without injury!

Why is it important to use spanifer?

THE cargo strap - Spanifer - a multilayer plastic ribbon, a high -strength fastener that can tolerate exceptionally loads. Can be a material for spanipers polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene. These raw materials have different resistance to different chemical effects.

THE polyester straps are basically good resistance in an environment where for acidic chemicals They are exposed, but less practical in cases where they can be exposed to moisture. At this point they lose their load capacity. Just as well as polyamide, which may also be reduced by 10-15 percent in the case of moisture, in contrast against the alkali Their resistance is extremely high.

So the best decision is thus in a wet environment a polypropylene strap However, which is less recommended when transported by acidic or alkaline materials.

Blue Label and Black Stripes: What you need to know about the strap

At first glance, maybe every cargo recording strap seems the same, but if you look at them more between different types There are plenty of differences.

The spanipers are available on different sizes, the most common are 25, 35, 50 and 75 mm wide straps. It is important to know that characteristics and technical data such as load-bearing capacity, recording, length, various certificates, manufacturing date, all should be marked on the blue label on the strap. For this label type, EN12195-2 Requirements Based on all pes (polyester) raw material recording tools.

An important difference, for example, load -bearing capacity. The load -bearing capacity of spanipers next to the blue label the parallel black seams number. For 3 tons, 3 strips, 5 tons 5, and so on. It is important to know that a 5 -ton spanifer in practice has 2.5 tonnes of downpower on both sides.

During road checks to a serious deficiency It matters loose spannifer, which is why it is worth checking from occasion when shipping and, if necessary, stretch the straps. To a dangerous deficiency It matters if the spannifer has no etiquette or the label cannot be read due to certain injuries.

It is worth knowing that although the spanipers do not have an expiry date, it is worth replacing them once a year to keep it safe.

How many spanifers should we use to fix?

How many straps we use for fixing, is unique for each cargo. So there is no template that would always be applicable. We must all take into account

the type of goods delivered,
the mass of the cargo,
the size of the cargo,
the recording mode/modes applied,
and the load -bearing capacity of the recording points.

Below is a method that is in the case of squeez, can be used effectively with the parameters mentioned above.

How do you count on squeezing tie?

The spanifer during squeez placed on top of the goods, then secure the two ends of the strap at the vehicle fastening points. In this way, the cargo is tensioned with the loading area, which prevents overlapping, slipping and impact. The number of cargo clinging straps to secure a particular shipment can be calculated in the following way.

Find the spanifer label on the to fix relevant data that is LC marking found. THE Danish The marking shows the weight of a given strap to securely. 1 DAN = 1kg, that is, for a 5000 DAN spanifer for 5 tons. Manufacturers also indicate the LC value associated with the spanipers, and the clamp is always indicated by the higher value.

The number of spanifers required by knowing the appropriate LC number can be calculated to be Divide the mass of cargo units to be squeezed with LC. The resulting value must always be rounded up. For a 9-tonne unit of goods, this means that we share 9 by 5. The result obtained is 1.8, which is rounded to 2.

A 40 -tonne fitting (normal flatbed, scrub -torn, 13.5 m long trailer) minimum required for 20 pcs Spanifer (LC> 2000 DAN, STF> 500 DAN)

However, during the strap number (besides) it is important to consider the capacity of the recording points to take into account these numbers In the documentation of the vehicle we can find it. The location and load -bearing capacity of the vehicles formed on the vehicle, depending on the weight of the vehicle, are determined by the DIN EN / MSZ standard. In order to secure securely We need to divide the mass unit mass with twice the load -bearing capacity of the fastening points, and the resulting number are rounded up.

Finally compare the final results obtained from the two calculations and Always choose the higher value. So, if the end result is that the quotient of the unity of goods and the LC number is higher than the quotient of the unit of goods and the load -bearing capacity, we need to use the former number of spanipers. If smaller, then the latter.

But it is important to mention the Stf letter nominal tension or winch power also marked value. This force shows how much force is used in the strap when using the strap's tensioning device in the case of an enclosure. We have to count on this value when the strap is on the cargo cargo surface used to squeeze. The higher the value, the less spanifers in proportion are required for secure fixing.

It is worth using at least one strap for the cargo for every 4 tons, even if the cargo is unable to slip or tilt. In the event that the cargo should be fixed with too much spanifer, which is not necessarily feasible, the number of straps required Different anti -slip solutions (such as rubber washer), frictional devicesand other recording modes (such as support) can also be reduced.

Anti -slip and protectors: that's why they need to be used

THE Use of slippage Particularly important. Nothing shows that the sliding friction factor for the storage surface is usually 0.3 μ, but the use of a slippage was only 0.6 μ. This means that by applying the slippage inhibitors can be halved with the squeezing force required value.

In addition to anti -slip, it is also important to use of edge protectors too. Spanifer edge defenders are responsible for being protect the straps The sharp edges of the sharp edges and the torn, as it can easily be damaged in a fixed state on the sharp-pouring surfaces or at the fixation breakpoints. The edge protector is also also protects the cargo from injury.

This is particularly important if you deliver a cargo that can easily break up and can be damaged. For example, a cardboard box fixed with spanifer.

The use of the edge protector ensures that the fastening strap is slipped properly on both sides of the cargo, which results in the strength of the strap to be equally distributed and do not have to be afraid of accidents and injuries resulting from too much reduction.

What to pay attention to before the cargo is fixed?

It is important to check that before the truck is loaded The vehicle itself and the cargo recording equipment are intact. The cleanliness of the loader space is important, and the spanifer should always check that the metal parts of the strap are not damaged, deformed or corroded, and the strap is not cut or possibly unveiled.

Also, we also have to look at the All seams and the data label are okay. Only tools that are suitable for identification should be used blue label and the a above mentioned load -bearing sewingThey are okay too!

If any of these questions are negative, in the case of the strap should be replaced immediately, since its further use is not only dangerous, but it can also take serious penalties during an inspection.

Proper use of Spanifer

If everything is right, work can start. It is important that the cargo is always secured stable. What method we choose depends on us and the nature of the cargo.

We can choose the so -called friction, which is created in a vertical direction by a force on the storage surface, or you can choose from the direct fixation, which, depending on the flexibility of the fastener and the forces acting on the cargo, ie the acceleration, slowdown of the vehicle, and the lateral load, allows a slight displacement of the cargo.

However, it is important that due to different behavior and changes in length Do not allow different mounting tools use to fix the same load.

It is also important that when using multiple straps Bumping or connecting spannifers is forbidden! Only standard connecting elements should be used to avoid proper security and penalties!

During fixing, the end elements are secured to the floor frame depending on the vehicle design and the consignment. The free end of the spanifer is passed through the cargo to be secured and pushed through the spindle opening of the folded tensioner, hand. Then comes the tension, which is moved back and forth. Here is important to know that ratcsnit in each case only by hand free to pull.

If the fixation is already tight enough, make sure that Don't pull over, and do not forget to put the lever back in the end. For multiple knitting devices, it is advisable to alternate the ratchets opposite to the reduction force.

It is important during the deposit that Also pay attention to an angle of deposit. Since 70 degrees Celsius, the clamping force is only 45%, it requires a steeper deposit to secure safely.

Before we set up the shipment, the fixings You need to relax In order to make the cargo free. However, before unlocking the spanifer, let's make sure the shipment is without insurance, and it will not be upset even if we disconnect the strap used during transport.

What should we do if the cargo space is not full?

For certain loads, it may occur that We don't have to fill the whole of the cargo space. Such cases should be especially paid to securing the cargo safely. If we transport only part of the plato we are tied up in an oblique. This type of fixation also prevents the goods from slipping back and overlapping.

In any case, however, it is important that the cargo should be fixed so that can't move, slide, roll down, fall, or in any way to go outside the storage area. Of course, this must be paid to the transport driver not only in the case of a whole, but also in the case of a whole loader.

Listen because checks are expected!

In recent times, NAV has trained 130 cargo inspectors, who include, among other things, check safe transport conditions. This means that in the near future, there are most likely increased checks on the roads.

Thus, you should never forget the proper fixation of the cargo and the proper use of the spanipers. It is important to know that for the recording of the cargo primarily The driver is responsible, even if he is not captured himself. And the lack of knowledge of the rules does not relieve the punishment.

Therefore, always invest time and energy to check the straps needed to fix the cargo and to make the shipment Only in the manner in accordance with the regulations We'll deliver it. In this way, not only accidents, but also quite high fines and other misconduct will be avoided.
