Lashing rails
Rod lashing rails – a reliable solution for professional load securing
Rod lashing rails and rod lashing strips are among the most proven aids when it comes to secure and flexible load securing in vans, trucks, or trailers. Their sturdy construction made of high-quality aluminum makes them particularly durable and versatile. The rails are typically mounted horizontally on the vehicle wall, where they form the basis for numerous securing systems such as locking bars, lashing straps, or tension belts.
Thanks to their practical handling, lashing rails are suitable for both commercial use in freight transport and for private individuals who want to transport sensitive or bulky goods.

Installation of the rod lashing rail 🛠️
Rod lashing rails can be attached in two ways:
- Screw mounting: Classic and reliable – provided that the vehicle wall or substrate offers sufficient stability.
- Adhesive mounting: Particularly recommended for sandwich panels (e.g., in truck boxes or motorhomes). Modern adhesives such as Sikaflex 554 enable an extremely strong bond. It is important to thoroughly pre-treat the surface with primer and to clean and mask the surfaces in order to achieve clean results.
👉 Note: During installation, always ensure that the pressure points of the rods are facing upwards to ensure safe force transmission.
Possible uses & accessories
Rod lashing rails are indispensable in many areas of transport. They are ideal for:
- Securing pallets and cardboard boxes against slipping
