partition wall closure
Partition closures, also known as tension boards or clamping boards, are a proven aid for mechanically securing loads on flatbed trucks, trucks, vans, and trailers. They can be used to quickly and easily divide loading areas and reliably secure loads against slipping or tipping over.
Functionality & typical areas of application
A partition wall closure is placed on both sides of the side wall or existing bow boards and then clamped in place using a clamping lever. This quickly creates a stable partition wall that separates and protects your load. Depending on the design, the locking force is around 400 daN – sufficient for many everyday transport tasks.

Typical areas of application include:
- Construction and craft businesses (transport of building materials and machinery)
- Freight forwarders with tarpaulin or bow structures
- Car trailers for private transport, e.g., furniture or garden equipment
- Municipal companies such as road construction and landscaping
Material, construction & advantages
Our partition wall closures are made of thick-walled aluminum combined with robust steel clamping elements. This combination of materials ensures low weight, high stability, and a long service life. For drivers, this means
- lower weight and therefore easier handling
- Quick assembly without tools
- high corrosion resistance and long service life
- flexible adaptation to different side wall thicknesses
Dimensions & custom designs
We manufacture partition wall closures in various lengths – standard from 1,700 mm to 2,700 mm with an adjustment range of approx. 300 mm. Models with a working range of 1.23 m to 1.80 m are available for smaller trailers. This means that both compact transporters and large flatbed vehicles can be equipped to fit perfectly.
Care, maintenance, and safety instructions
To ensure that your clamping boards continue to work reliably, we recommend regular visual inspections. Pay particular attention to:
- damaged or worn seals and rubberized steel end pieces
- Dirt on the interlocking aluminum surfaces (dirt can block the adjustability)
- Cracks or deformations on clamping jaws and lever mechanisms
If you suspect damage, carry out a functional test immediately and replace any defective parts. Proper maintenance ensures that the full clamping force is maintained.
Limitations & sensible combinations
Partition wall locks are very practical, but they also have limitations: The actual holding force depends, among other things, on the condition of the side wall and the clamping surfaces. Weather conditions (wetness, ice, heavy dirt) can reduce the clamping effect. For particularly heavy or slippery loads, we recommend combining them with airline rails and locking beams to achieve an even more form-fitting and resilient securing system.
Conclusion
Partition wall fasteners are a quick, cost-effective, and flexible solution for dividing loading areas and securing loads quickly. Their lightweight aluminum construction makes them particularly user-friendly—ideal for trades, construction, and commercial transport. Choose the right length or have a custom size made to optimally structure your loading area.

Frequently asked questions about lashing points, lashing eyes, and lashing troughs
Lashing points, lashing eyes, and lashing troughs are central components of secure load securing in vehicles. Here we answer important 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 safety in road freight transport:
- DIN EN 12640 – Requirements for lashing points in road freight transport,
- DIN 75410-1 – Lashing points for flatbed vehicles up to 3.5 t (min. 500 daN),
- DIN 75410-3 – Lashing points for 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 design and construction and typically ranges between 200 and 2,500 daN, depending on the model. The load capacity is not only determined by the lashing point itself, but also by the substructure and the type of installation. Only a solid fastening allows the full load capacity to be used safely.
The decisive factor here is not only the lashing point itself, but also the substructure and the type of installation. Only a solid fastening allows the full load capacity to be used safely.
How are lashing troughs installed and can lashing eyes be retrofitted?
Lashing eyes are flush-mounted 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, flush connection.
Lashing eyes can be easily retrofitted in many vehicles and are available in various sizes. They are usually made of galvanized steel, which makes them robust, rust-resistant, and durable.
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 secured in the floor with a few hammer blows and achieves a load capacity of up to 350 daN according to ISO 27956. This makes it ideal for retrofitting additional lashing points in vehicles. Are lashing points suitable for lifting loads and where are they used?
Are lashing points suitable for lifting loads and where are they used?
No – lashing points, lashing eyes, and lashing rings 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 the secure attachment of lashing straps, chains, or ropes.
