Bodenösen

Bodenösen, also known as lashing points or tie-down points, are fittings designed for securing loads. They are typically made of metal, often steel or stainless steel, and are installed in floors, walls, or ceilings of vehicles, shipping containers, warehouses, and other transport or storage environments. Their primary function is to provide a strong anchor point for ropes, straps, or chains, preventing cargo from shifting during transit or storage.

The design of Bodenösen can vary, but they generally consist of a robust loop or ring attached to a base plate or mounting bracket. This base is then securely fastened to the supporting surface. The strength and load capacity of a Bodenöse are critical factors, and they are often rated in kilograms or pounds, indicating the maximum weight they can safely withstand. Proper installation is paramount to ensure the integrity of the securing system and prevent accidents.

Common applications for Bodenösen include securing luggage in car trunks, fastening pallets in trucks, anchoring equipment in workshops, and securing goods within shipping containers. They are an essential component of any load securing strategy, contributing to safety and the prevention of damage to both the cargo and the transport vehicle. Different types exist for various load types and environmental conditions, such as flush-mounted options to avoid tripping hazards or heavy-duty versions for industrial use.
