05.09.2024 | New VDI guideline for load securing from September 1, 2024: Our TensionController is the ideal solution

Since September 1, 2024, the revised VDI guideline 2700, sheets 8, 8.1, and 8.2, has been in effect. The new regulations set important standards for securing passenger cars as well as light and heavy commercial vehicles on vehicle transporters. Particularly relevant for companies in vehicle transport is that this guideline imposes stricter requirements on load securing equipment to further enhance road safety.

Dolezych TensionController: The Perfect Solution for the New Requirements

For safe vehicle transport, each lashing strap must now be equipped with a controller that prevents frictional contact with the tire and ensures even force distribution on both sides of the tire (ETA value ≥ 0.5). Additionally, the strap must be prevented from slipping. The controller must be designed so that the strap does not touch the tire. Our lashing straps with TensionController are certified and offer a secure grip on the tire thanks to their special rubber coating, without slipping.

The Advantages of the TensionController

1. Patented Design: The TensionController features a specially developed rubberized fabric construction that ensures a secure hold and even force distribution.
2. Certified and Tested: The lashing strap with TensionController is certified and meets the latest testing requirements of the European expert group that contributed to the development of the new VDI guideline. As an active member of this expert group, we ourselves helped to draft the guidelines to ensure the highest standards in load securing.
3. Maximum Safety: The TensionController offers excellent sliding and gripping properties on tires due to its innovative fabric construction. This significantly reduces the need for retightening, saving both time and costs.
4. Optimal Adjustment: With the TensionController Flex, Dolezych offers a foldable variant that can be flexibly adjusted to different tire sizes. This ensures that the controller always has the correct length, regardless of the vehicle type.

Flexible Vehicle Transport Securing with the TensionController Flex

For users who need to secure vehicles with different tire sizes, the TensionController Flex is now available. It offers the same advantages as the standard models TC35 & TC50 but can be quickly adjusted to various tire sizes. The strap does not come into contact with the tire, regardless of the tire size. The TCF is suitable for vehicles from small cars to heavy commercial vehicles and complies with the guideline. The foldable TC mats at the ends prevent the strap from being too short. Since the ends are designed as mats rather than tubes, the area not in contact with the tire can be easily folded down. This technical feature ensures that the TensionController is never too long!
