Lashing eyes

Lashing eyes, also known as D-rings, are fixed anchor points for lashing chains, straps and lashing bars. They are used on ships, pontoons, offshore structures and load beds. Navacqs lashing eyes are made of forged, heat-treated steel, with breaking strengths from 4 t to 67 t.

Fixed or removable

The LP-6, LP-13, LP-12, LP-14 and LP-67 are welded directly onto a deck, chassis or load bed and form a permanent lashing point. The U-Frame LP-91-45 and the Breech Base LP-21 are removable. They fit into a deck socket and can be taken out when not needed. The removable lashing eyes are intended for maritime use and are not suitable for road transport.

Lashing eye and deck socket

The U-Frame LP-91-45 fits the Deck Socket DF-31, as does the Dovetail Twistlock BF-11. The Breech Base LP-21 belongs with the Breech Base Deck Socket DF-66, as does the Breech Base Twistlock BF-66. This allows both a container and loose cargo to be secured on the same deck.

Breaking strength and WLL

• LP-6: breaking strength 4 t, WLL 2 t

• LP-13: breaking strength 20 t, WLL 10 t

• LP-12: breaking strength 36 t, WLL 18 t

• LP-21: breaking strength 36 t, WLL 18 t

• LP-91-45: breaking strength 36 t, WLL 18 t

• LP-14: breaking strength 50 t, WLL 25 t

• LP-67: breaking strength 67 t, WLL 33.5 t

Welding cap and finish

Most lashing eyes come with a matching welding cap, which holds the lashing eye in the correct position during welding. A primer or galvanised coating protects the steel against corrosion from seawater and weather.
