Airline rail for additional load securing

Airline rails Light are particularly well-suited for vehicle floors or walls and are retrofitted. Made of anodized aluminum, these rails are lightweight and ideal for securing loads in trucks, trailers, and vans. Their slim design allows for flexible application. Whether for retrofitting or as original equipment, they fit any loading platform and many attachments. They also offer flexible mounting options.

Applications of airline tracks in load securing

Airline tracks are primarily used in transport vehicles such as trucks, vans, trailers, light commercial vehicles, caravans, motorhomes, station wagons, and vans to create lashing points for securing cargo. These tracks feature grid points into which fittings are inserted and secured. These fittings, in turn, have hooks, eyelets, or brackets through which, for example, lashing straps can be attached. The various aluminum lashing tracks can be mounted to the vehicle wall, floor, or ceiling. However, airline tracks also offer further installation options for private use, such as in the garden, workshop, or when converting a camper van.

Airline rails as crossbeams on the roof rack and bicycle carrier

Airline rails provide additional tie-down options for boxes, racks, or classic off-road equipment using straps. Solar panels can also be mounted with airline rails. For this purpose, we recommend semi-circular or rectangular tie-down rails made of anodized aluminum as crossbars for mounting on the roof rack. When mounting them to the vehicle body, ensure the drill holes are properly sealed to prevent water ingress. Adhesive can also be used to attach the various airline rail models. The mounting method may vary depending on the installation type.

Gluing airline tracks

The particularly lightweight design of the anodized aluminum airline tracks features adhesive channels on the back for applying glue. Before applying the adhesive, sand both surfaces and clean them thoroughly. When bonding, ensure you use a high-quality adhesive suitable for your specific material combination.
