DoNova®PowerLash textile lashing-chain.
The idea behind Dolezych's textile lashing-chain, the DoNova®PowerLash, is to replace heavy steel chains with lightweight high-tech textile chains! The innovative lashing-chain (Link) offers the user unique advantages: it is just as tear-resistant as a high-strength steel chain, but has up to 85% less dead weight compared to steel chains with the same LC. It can be used anywhere where faster and more efficient securing is required. Working safely has never been so easy! You can buy matching hooks and ratchet load tensioners for the DoNova® and get advice from our experts on our innovative textile chains from the DoNova® series.

As strong as steel chains: The structure of the DoNova® textile lashing-chain
Like its steel counterpart, the textile chain is made from individual chain links. What is unique is that each chain link is made from several layers of webbing made from the high-performance fiber Dyneema® in a so-called Möbius ring. This means that the "start" of the strap is in the middle and the "end" is on the outside of the layers.
What are the technical advantages of DoNova®PowerLash?
- Just as tear-resistant as steel chains
- Particularly abrasion-resistant compared to other textile load securing materials
- Resistant to chemicals and seawater, cannot rust!
- Floatable (pure yard goods without steel fittings)
- UV-resistant thanks to the "skin core effect"
What advantages does the user have with DoNova®PowerLash?
- Noise-reducing
- Ergonomic working thanks to lower weight
- Easy handling by just one user
- Textile material protects sensitive surfaces and the user's hands
- Easier to shorten than steel chains with a parallel hook
- Individual chain links that have worn out can be repaired by the Dolezych service team
- Textile sleeve including label so that steel tags cannot strike sensitive loads
Heavy load securing made easy
The DoNova®PowerLash is tested as a lashing-chain in accordance with DIN EN 12195-3. The DoNova®PowerLash lashing-chain can easily cope with steel chains up to grade 12 and up to a nominal size of 16 mm. The DoNova®PowerLash is available in various versions, with permissible tensile forces (LC) of up to 20,000 daN achieved in the overall system. This makes securing even heavy loads child's play.
The extremely low weight of the DoNova®PowerLash ensures easy handling of the heavy load securing system and thus makes it possible for significantly longer lashing-chains, e.g. with a working length of 20 m and more, to be used by just one user.
DoNova® lashing-chain with ratchet load tensioner
Using the DoNova®PowerLash with the patented DoRa ratchet load tensioner and the DoQuick is particularly convenient. These tensioning elements are fitted with special hooks that have a hook support optimized for DoNova®. The DoRa and DoQuick ratchet load tensioners have a very long tensioning path so that you can easily secure the load. The DoQuick in particular has technical properties that are incredible in combination with the DoNova®PowerLash. The DoQuick allows you to lash even more securely and, above all, even faster, so that the ergonomic advantages of the DoNova®PowerLash are further enhanced.
DoNova® lashing-chain with lashing-strap as tensioning element
A lashing strap tensioner has also been developed for our DoNova®PowerLash 25/8 with LC 10,000 daN. With this combination, the LC of the tensioning elements used (straight pull or strapping) must be matched to the LC of the textile chain. The hooks of the lashing strap are hooked into the respective chain element. This system serves as an alternative system to the previously described ratchet load tensioners.
DoNova® as a head sling
Loads that have no attachment points can be efficiently secured by direct lashing. It is secured with a sling that runs over the edges. The DoNova®PowerLash can also be used for this application without any problems. Please contact us for more information.
Labeling of the DoNova®PowerLash
The DoNova® has a sleeve made of PES tape with a Velcro fastener with an imprint for easy identification of the version and an internal identification and test label.
Information on the identification label, including
- Design
- Material: Dyneema®
- Lashing capacity (LC) in daN
- Length L1 in m
- In accordance with EN 12195-2/-3
- Indication of STF on the tensioning element, as dependent on the tensioning element
Modular system for every purpose: with hooks and clamping elements
Our hooks cannot be used optimally for your application or you want a one-piece system? Do you have special requests? No problem for us! Thanks to the modular system, you can adapt various eye hooks from our steel sling range to the end of the chain. Simply connect the DoNova® to the hook with a coupling link.
Which coupling link is permitted for the DoNova®PowerLash?
- Coupling link 13-10 for DoNova® 25/8 and 25/10
- Coupling link 16-10 for DoNova® 30/8 and 30/10
Which hooks can be connected to a coupling link?
- DoNova® 25/8 components > 13-8 and 13-10 and 13-12
- DoNova® 25/10 components > 16-8 and 13-10 and 13-12
- DoNova® 30/8 components > 16-8 and 16-10 and 16-12
- DoNova® 30/10 components > 20-8 and 16-10 and 16-12
