Verzurrbare

Verzurrbare is a German term that translates to "lashing points," "tie-down points," or "securing points" in English. It refers to any attachment points on a vehicle, trailer, shipping container, or other structure that are designed to be used with lashing straps, ropes, or chains to secure cargo. These points are crucial for preventing the movement or displacement of goods during transportation, thus ensuring safety and preventing damage.

The design and strength of verzurrbare vary depending on their intended use. For light-duty applications, they might be simple D-rings or eyelets. For heavier loads, especially in commercial transport or shipping, they are often reinforced loops, robust eye bolts, or integrated anchor points built into the structure itself. The load rating of each verzurrpunt is a critical specification, indicating the maximum force it can safely withstand. Exceeding this limit can lead to failure and potentially dangerous situations.

Verzurrbare are commonly found on the floors and walls of trucks, trailers, vans, and cargo ships. They are also present on the exterior of shipping containers and on specialized equipment like car carriers. Proper use of verzurrbare involves selecting the correct type of securing material, ensuring it is securely attached to the verzurrpunt, and applying appropriate tension to prevent any shifting of the cargo. Regular inspection of verzurrpunkte for wear or damage is recommended to maintain their effectiveness.
