The Tension Lever is designed for tightening and pulling lashing chains taut. It also lets you adjust the chain length, so the chain is always tensioned to the right size. The Tension Lever is always used together with a Lashing Chain and can be ordered separately or as a complete set. The Tension Lever is DNV GL certified and suitable for use on classified vessels.
The Tension Lever pulls the lashing chain taut and shortens its length to the desired size. This keeps the cargo stable and prevents it from shifting during transport.
Thanks to a breaking strength of 200 kN (20 T), the combination of lashing chain and Tension Lever is suitable for securing heavy cargo during transport at sea. It's also a reliable choice for RoRo transport, where vehicles and machinery are driven on and off board. Think of trucks, agricultural machinery and earthmoving equipment.
Both the Tension Lever and the Lashing Chain are tested and certified by DNV GL. This certification allows you to use the Tension Lever on DNV GL classified vessels.
The strength of the Tension Lever is expressed in two ways: breaking strength and Working Load Limit (WLL). Both values are stated on the DNV GL certificate. The breaking strength is 200 kN (20 T) and the WLL is 100 kN (10 T).
A chain tension lever pulls the lashing chain taut and puts it under tension. This presses the cargo firmly against the surface, so it can no longer shift.
The lever works like a lever mechanism:
you hook it into the chain
you pull the handle over
the chain is pulled taut
This makes it possible to secure heavy cargo with relatively little force.
No, a chain tension lever only works together with a lashing chain. The lever engages with the links of the chain to build up tension.
Without a chain:
the lever has nothing to grip
no tension builds up
it has no function
So it's always a combination of both components.
A chain tension lever is used when heavy cargo needs to be secured tightly, with no slack allowed.
Typical situations:
transporting machinery on trailers or ships
RoRo transport where vehicles are secured
cargo that could shift due to movement
The lever ensures everything is genuinely "secured," not just attached.
