🛠️ Lashing points & lashing recesses – secure anchoring for every load
Lashing points and lashing troughs are indispensable elements of professional load securing. They form the basis for reliably securing transported goods with lashing straps, nets, or locking beams against slipping, tipping over, or falling off. Whether in a van, truck, trailer, or private car, the right choice and professional installation of lashing points ensures greater safety on the road and protects your load at the same time.

Lashing points – flexible & versatile
Lashing points refer to various fastening elements such as recessed lashing eyes in the vehicle floor, sturdy lashing eyes on the side walls, or attached lashing plates for airline fittings. The most common variants are:
- Lashing recesses: recessed into the floor, ideal for tension belts and hooks
- Lashing eyes: on the wall or floor, often retrofittable and flexible in use
- Airline lashing plates: compatible with airline fittings and locking bars
The use of lashing points is regulated by DIN EN 12640 and ensures that the required tensile forces are maintained.
Lashing troughs – a proven solution in vehicle floors
Lashing troughs are the most commonly used lashing points. They are embedded precisely into the vehicle floor and securely fixed with screws (strength 10.9) and counterplates. Standards and load capacities:
- DIN 75410-1: Lashing points on flatbed vehicles up to 3.5 t → min. 500 daN
- DIN 75410-3: Box trucks up to 2 t GVW → 400 daN | Transporters up to 5 t GVW → 500 daN
Lashing recesses allow straps to be pulled through securely or hooks to be attached reliably.
Lashing eyes – robust & easy to retrofit
Lashing eyes are often used as an addition in the interior when additional load securing is required. They are:
- made of galvanized steel → rustproof & durable
- available in various sizes and load capacities → from 200 to 2,500 daN
- particularly easy to use
👉 Important: The load capacity depends not only on the lashing eye itself, but also on the substructure. In addition, lashing eyes must not be used as attachment points for lifting loads!
Lashing troughs & lashing plates with airline system
Lashing plates with airline function are a particularly flexible solution. They can be combined with airline fittings, end fittings, or even locking bars. This allows the load securing to be individually adapted – from small packages to heavy pallets.
Popular special solution: Kerl 350 drive-in fitting
The KERL 350 fitting, consisting of a drive-in nut (M8 internal thread) and a lashing eye (M8 external thread), is in high demand. This lashing point can be attached with just a few hammer blows and, when securely mounted, achieves a load capacity of up to 350 daN in accordance with ISO 27956.
Advantages of lashing points & lashing eyes at a glance

Frequently asked questions about lashing points, lashing eyes, and lashing troughs
Lashing points, lashing eyes, and lashing troughs form the basis of secure load securing in cars, vans, trucks, and trailers. Here we answer key questions about standards, load capacity, installation, and typical areas of application.
What standards apply to lashing points?
Various standards apply to lashing points to ensure safe use in road freight transport:
- DIN EN 12640 – Requirements for lashing points in road freight transport,
- DIN 75410-1 – Lashing points on flatbed vehicles up to 3.5 t (min. 500 daN),
- DIN 75410-3 – Lashing points on panel vans up to 2 t (400 daN) and transporters up to 5 t (500 daN).
These standards ensure that lashing points reliably withstand the required tensile forces.
What is the load capacity of lashing eyes and lashing troughs?
The load capacity depends on the specific design and is typically between 200 and 2,500 daN. The decisive factor here is not only the lashing point itself, but also the substructure and
The decisive factor here is not only the lashing point itself, but also the substructure and the type of installation. Only a sufficiently stable fastening allows the specified load capacity to be fully utilized. How are lashing eyes installed and can lashing eyes be retrofitted?
How are lashing troughs installed and can lashing eyes be retrofitted?
Lashing recesses are embedded in the vehicle floor and screwed in place with high-strength screws (e.g., strength 10.9) and matching counterplates. This creates a particularly stable connection.
Lashing eyes can be easily retrofitted in many vehicles and are available in different sizes and designs. They are usually made of galvanized steel, are rust-free, and designed for long-term use.
What is the KERL 350 drive-in fitting?
The KERL 350 drive-in fitting consists of a drive-in nut with an M8 internal thread and a matching lashing eye with an M8 external thread. It is inserted into the prepared hole with a few hammer blows and achieves a load capacity of up to 350 daN according to ISO 27956.
It is inserted into the prepared hole with a few hammer blows and achieves a load capacity of up to 350 daN according to ISO 27956. This makes it ideal for flexible retrofitting of additional lashing points in vans and trailers. Are lashing points suitable for lifting loads and in which vehicles are they used?
Are lashing points suitable for lifting loads and in which vehicles are they used?
No – lashing points, lashing grooves, and lashing eyes are designed exclusively for securing loads in vehicles and must not be used as attachment points for lifting loads. Depending on the design, they are used in cars, vans, trucks, and trailers, where they form the basis for secure and standard-compliant load securing.
