The invention relates to a device for fastening tensioning and/or lashing straps (10) to a vehicle (2), in particular a tipper truck or the like, wherein the vehicle (2) comprises a platform (3) and flaps (5) connected to the platform (3) via upper hinges (4) and lower hinges (15), and wherein the lower hinges (15) form a releasable connection, which is formed by a hinge hook (13) and a hinge pin (14) arranged on the flap (5). The aforementioned vehicles (2) are frequently used both for the transport of bulk materials, such as sand and grain, as well as for the transport of piece goods, such as pallets or boxes. In order that the piece goods can be transported safely, it is often necessary to secure the goods by means of lashing straps (10) provided for this purpose. For the attachment of these straps, lashing rings that are inserted or mounted in the platform area can be provided. However, these are obstructive when they are not needed. According to the invention, a device is therefore proposed which comprises an adapter (26) that has, at one end (6), a receptacle (16) compatible with the hinge area (7) of the platform (3) and, at its other end (8), a receptacle (17) compatible with the hinge pin (14), and wherein the device (1) furthermore has a holding element (11) for fastening the tensioning and lashing straps (10). The device according to the invention is thus a lashing ring adapter (1) which can be mounted and dismounted as required without further adaptation or conversion measures on the platform.
