The semi-circular Airline Rail Light - Flexible, lightweight and ideal for campers and vans

When it comes to reliable load securing in transport vehicles or motorhomes, choosing the right fastening system is crucial. The airline rail as a semi-circular profile in the light version is particularly popular - and for good reason. It combines low weight with high stability and offers a wide range of uses in everyday life and when traveling.

What is an airline rail half-round profile Light anyway?

The half-round Airline Rail Light is a particularly lightweight version of the classic lashing rail. Thanks to its semi-circular shape, it not only blends in unobtrusively with the interior of vehicles, but also scores points for its pleasant feel - disturbing edges are a thing of the past.

Whether van, trailer or campervan, the light version of the airline rail is a clever solution for securing objects securely. Thanks to its compatibility with common lashing straps, locking bars and end fittings, it can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements.

Why the semi-circular version is ideal for motorhomes and vans

A particular highlight of this rail is its adhesiveness. In contrast to more solid models, the Light rail can also be easily glued to so-called sandwich panels made of GRP with an EPS core - common materials in camper and motorhome construction. The small beads underneath the rail ensure clean processing, as excess adhesive can be absorbed.

Thanks to its shape, the rail is ideal for interior spaces where as few protruding elements as possible are desired - for example when attaching camping tables or chairs.

Mounting: Screwing or gluing – which is better?

The Airline Rail Light can be both classically screwed and professionally glued. The decision depends on the substrate and the desired load-bearing capacity.

Bonding

For GRP walls or ceilings in particular, where screws often do not find sufficient hold, bonding with Sikaflex 554 in combination with a suitable primer is the ideal solution. The adhesion is so strong that the rail can withstand even high loads - of course only with proper preparation and cleaning of the surfaces.

💡 Pro tip for bonding: Mark out the surfaces in advance with adhesive tape so that excess adhesive does not run onto adjacent surfaces. After installation, remove the tape immediately – for a clean finish.

Resilience & standards – What does the Light rail stand for?

Despite its lightweight design, the semi-circular airline rail is extremely resilient. In combination with a Quattro-Stud fitting, it achieves:

Up to 1000 daN tensile force in accordance with EN 12640 (standard for flatbed vehicles from 3.5 t)

Up to 800 daN tractive force according to ISO 29756 (standard for panel vans and transporters)

These values make them the ideal choice for a wide range of transport applications - from commercial use to private use in leisure vehicles.
