Airline rail flat profile Strong - stable load securing for professional vehicle conversions

Professional load securing starts with a stable and flexible basic system. The airline rail in the Strong flat profile has been specially developed for demanding vehicle conversions where high load-bearing capacity, low body height and maximum adaptability are required. Whether in a van, on a flatbed, in a trailer or in special vehicle construction - this rail system forms the reliable basis for modern, standard-compliant load securing.

Airline rail flat profile Strong – the robust basis for safe transportation

In contrast to conventional lashing points, the airline rail offers a continuous securing system with freely selectable fixing points. The Strong design of the flat profile goes one step further: a reinforced central base ensures high bending and torsional rigidity, even with large distances between the fastening points.

Thanks to its low installation height, the flat profile is ideal for flush installation in vehicle floors or for mounting on wall and ceiling surfaces without restricting the usable loading space.

Why flat profile Strong? – Advantages at a glance

Multiple factors play a decisive role when choosing an airline rail. The Strong flat profile combines technical stability with practical flexibility.

High load capacity with low overall height

The centrally reinforced base ensures that tensile and securing forces are transferred evenly to the substrate. This makes the profile particularly suitable for:

• heavy and large loads
• frequent load changes in commercial use
• large fastening distances in the vehicle

Flexible mounting for individual vehicle concepts

The airline rail is not pre-drilled and, depending on the body:

• bolted
• riveted
• or glued

can be assembled. This allows it to be optimally adapted to different surfaces and vehicle types.

Application areas of the airline rail flat profile Strong

The Strong series is designed for a wide range of applications and is used in both commercial and specialized vehicle construction.

In vans, ceiling beams are often far apart. The Strong flat profile can be attached to the flanges and in the central profile area, allowing several fixing points per cross member. This significantly increases stability and safety when securing loads.

Platform vehicles and trailers

Continuous securing systems are often required on open loading areas or trailers. Long rail lengths enable flexible lashing points across the entire loading area - ideal for changing transport goods.

Trade, industry and special vehicles

Window manufacturers, carpenters, metalworkers and service vehicles benefit in particular from the combination of airline rails and locking bars. Vertically loaded goods such as windows, wooden panels or construction elements can be securely fixed and moved gently during transport.

Which length is the right one?

The airline rail flat profile Strong is available in various lengths to optimally cover different requirements. The choice of the right length depends on the vehicle type, the load and the desired securing concept.

Short lengths – targeted securing points

Lengths from 0.5 m are ideal for selective securing, for example on doors, narrow side walls or in combination with existing lashing points.

Medium lengths – flexible zones

Lengths between 1.0 m and 1.5 m offer a good balance between flexibility and installation effort. They are ideal for modular extensions and changing loads.

Long lengths – continuous securing systems

Rails up to 3.0 m in length enable large-scale securing solutions over long loading areas and are particularly suitable for vans with a long wheelbase or flatbed vehicles.

Mounting and fastening – decisive for the load capacity

The actual load-bearing capacity of an airline rail depends to a large extent on correct installation. The substrate, fastening distances and screw quality play a key role here.

Fixing to the substrate

Depending on the vehicle, sheet steel, aluminum, wood or sandwich boards are used. Only suitable fasteners should be used to ensure safe force transmission.

Recommended screws and spacings

In practice, screw spacings of around 75 mm with a metric grid have proven successful. High-strength screws (e.g. strength 10.9) with self-locking nuts are generally used for Strong profiles.

The airline rail only unfolds its full potential in combination with the right accessories.

Locking bars, fittings and lashing straps

The combination with single or double-stud fittings, lashing straps and locking bars creates a variable system that can be quickly adapted to new transport tasks.

End caps for safety and protection

Suitable end caps for the Strong flat profile protect against sharp edges, prevent damage to the load and ensure a clean finish to the rail.

Norms, responsibility and safety

Compliance with relevant standards and guidelines is an essential part of professional load securing. Regardless of the rail used, the responsibility for the correct installation and design of the securing lies with the vehicle manufacturer or installer.

The airline rail in the Strong flat profile offers a sophisticated combination of high load-bearing capacity, low overall height and flexible installation. It is suitable for almost all vehicle types and areas of application where professional load securing is required. The large number of available lengths and the extensive range of accessories create a system that grows with the requirements and impresses in the long term.
