I have no doubt.
But would you say these are stronger? Honestly?
Sprinter SWB payload 1500kg.
Transported my CVA lathe and this is all you get to secure the load

I bet these are toys compared to the stuff you and Kim deal withThe way some of these lashing rings are advertised can lead to confusion, most are only really sheeting rings/hooks. The proper jobs have a certified load rating and that is only as good as the weld holding it in place. This is the reason DVSA wont allow the use of half of this gear to secure a load down, unless certificated they like to see chains and straps attached directly to the vehicles chassis. I think it was @Pete. that said DVSA were pulling trucks near where he worked and knicking the drivers for insecure loads, £X amount per strap/chain not on the chassis

No. But be careful with your eye bolts - they are only rated when screwed down tight, and the angle of load is correct - anything else, and they will fail surprisingly easily, especially sideways. You are supposed to work out what spacer is needed to make sure the plane of the eye is in-line with load to keep the rating.They are M20 load rated for lifting to 1.25 tons. Proper rated equipment for load lifting have to have a big safety margin.
Do you really think these will be stronger?

Mate of mine modified a car transporter, he said much the same thing - welded on lugs are frowned upon. He bought some bolt on ones instead.The way some of these lashing rings are advertised can lead to confusion, most are only really sheeting rings/hooks.

There’s a lot of disinformation out there with the police and DVSA. Have you seen the video of that idiot traffic man explaining ratchet straps? He thinks a 3 ton one is 350kg. I’ll try and find it.

Can’t link the video directly but it’s post 1 https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index...-pass-on-the-right-planet.368250/post-8082683
Common sense obviously no longer applies

I was horrified last week. I saw a 40ft container on a normal flat bed trailer. No container locks nothing at all. I overtook him very promptly
