Abstract: The invention relates to a securing element for fastening loads. Said element is configured as a rope, belt, strap or cord with openings arranged in a grid pattern, consisting of a combination of elastic, semi-elastic and non-elastic materials. The openings are designed to receive a fastening element and an additional identical or similar securing element can be looped through said openings. By attaching at least one fastening element, e.g. a hook, any length of securing element can be selected. When configured as a net, the securing element acts as a retaining net and can secure loads of any type. Natural and synthetic materials can be used individually or in combination to produce said element.

Abstract: A lifting belt sling for lifting loads is comprised of a tubular structure having at least two chambers whereby forming, as one unit, a chamber tube that is contiguous over the width. Loosely inserted inserts are located inside the at least two chambers and endlessly extend from one end of the chamber tube to the other end thereof. The inserts overlap the ends of the chamber tube so that they form loops at this location, whereby the inserts, when situated in the loop area, are covered by a tube protective means. A protective tube, which surrounds the chamber tube and is formed by different weaves, significantly increases the resistance to abrasion, the resistance to cutting, and the edge strength. The lifting belt sling is designed for loads of up to 100 t.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioning/relaxing element that comprises a base (3), at least one rotating shaft (4) mounted on said base, a mobile part (2) and a lashing device (1). Between said base (3) and the at least one shaft (4) at least one nonpositive and positive element (5, 6) is provided that tightly encloses the shaft (4). The first nonpositive and positive element (5), configured as a tensioning element, is firmly linked on the one side (5a) with a part (2) that is mobile vis-a-vis the base (3) and can be actuated on the other side (5b), with a variable and continuous pretension, via a first actuator (11), while the second nonpositive and positive element (6), configured as a relaxing element, is firmly linked on the one side (6a) with the base (3) and can be actuated on the other side (6b), with a variable and continuous pretension, via a second actuator (11′).
