TWN 1477 ZKS-Modules

The weld-on ZKS-modules TWN 1477 are predominantly installed in side frames of low-loaders and trailers. The large swivel range also allows the securing of overhanging loads. The pivotable large lashing eyelet built into the cassette enables a fixed mounting position for easy connection with the lashing equipment.

The manufacturing and testing requirements are based on the DIN EN 1677-1.

Genral information

The standard DIN EN 12640 specifies the minimum testing requirements for lashing points on road trucks and trailers with flatbed bodies and a permissible total weight of more than 3,5 T for mixed cargo transportation. Lashing points are devices to attach lashing gear. A lashing point can be an oval link, hook, lug or lashing rail. These types of lashing points may lead to safety issues when in operation. 

A non-appropiate dimensioning and use of non-suitable lashing points, as well as the damage of the lashing poitns and frames of the vehicle, shows a high potential danger in traffic. In operation, oval links are often exposed to unforeseen torgue wich may cause a damage to the body-work of the vehicles. Very often required inclination angles are not properly considerd. Further, oval links can cause unnecessary noise exposure in traffic. The developed Thiele ZK-Modules (Lashing ring with cassette) may be easily fitted and adopted at the side frames of trailers.

The ZK-Modules are marked with permissible lashing capacity (LC), manufacturer name (Thiele) and standard number (DIN EN 12640). 
Official agancies may easily check the correct installation. The ZK-Module made by Thiele provides highest safety for load securing in the heavy-duty road traffic.
