Lashing chains in accordance with DIN EN 12195-3 and VDI 2700ff are perfect for diagonal lashing of heavy loads. To this end, short-element chains are used (partition = 3 x chain Ø). Only these ensure perfect chain bracing for edge usage. Chains with long elements would deform here. With shortening elements, the desired length can be set. The shortening unit must have a lock against accidental opening.
