Planning
Lifting and lashing points on heavy goods
Heavy goods may only be lifted and lashed at points designed for it. If such points are missing or unknown, every lift and every securing becomes a risk. They are defined by the manufacturer.
What matters
- Lifting points
- Lifting lugs, trunnions or spreader beam mounts – designed for the weight.
- Lashing points
- Places where chains or straps may hold the goods on the vehicle.
- Marking
- Marked points prevent mistakes during loading.
- Without points
- Then frames, spreader beams or slings are needed, agreed with the manufacturer.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Do the goods have lifting points, and for what load?
- Are they shown in the drawing?
- Are there lashing points?
- Are the points marked?
- Are there manufacturer requirements for slinging?
What we need from you
- Lifting points
- Lashing points
- Drawing
- Manufacturer requirements
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
Tell us the lifting points defined by the manufacturer – with these we plan lift and securing accordingly.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We check the information and coordinate lifting and securing equipment with partners.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Lifting and securing only at the defined points.
Questions and answers: Lifting and lashing points
Who defines the lifting points?
The manufacturer of the goods. They are in the drawing or transport specification.

Only if the manufacturer also approves them as lashing points.
