ADVICE ON Cargo securing
As specialists in load securing and cargo safety during transportation, we offer comprehensive solutions to enhance the safety and efficiency of loading and unloading operations.
Why are the charges being rigged?
High-value goods are transported daily around the world, which requires efficient stowage solutions to ensure the safety of goods and people throughout the transport chain. Deficiencies in load securement can cause property and human damage, so it is crucial to ensure proper securement to avoid accidents. To achieve proper stowage, approved products and proper handling of stowage equipment are required.
Factors influencing the choice of lashing solution
Load Type
- What goods must be transported?
- What is the shape, weight and height of the goods?
- Are the goods packed and what type of packaging is used?
Type of transport support
- What type of carrier will transport the goods?
- Is the transport medium sized for goods?
- What stowage options are available on the transport bracket?
Type of transportation
Should transport be by road, boat, plane or a combination of these?
Depending on the mode of transport used, the stowage technique must be adapted to ensure the safety and integrity of the goods.
For example, in road transport, tension straps are often preferred to hold objects firmly in place.
In maritime transport, cushions are frequently used to absorb shocks and limit the movement of cargo.
In addition, more sophisticated lashing bars or systems such as nets or chains can be used for air and rail transport to secure goods in tight spaces or when there are significant vibrations.
Each solution is chosen according to the specific constraints related to the mode of transport, the nature of the goods and the potential risks incurred during the journey.
Load Securing Regulations
Load securing is regulated by laws and regulations.
Proper load securing must comply with these regulations.
Load Securing Methods
Load securement is not only about choosing the right equipment, but also about choosing the right method or combination of methods from:
- Stowage: the goods are attached to the transport support using straps, stowage chains and/or fastening systems.
- Blocking: goods are blocked with load supports, beams, air cushions or blocking blocks.
- Locking: goods are locked mechanically on the transport support
