Cargo securing methods

Cargo securing methods

Blocking

Blocking means that the cargo is stowed against fixed blocking structures and fixtures on the CTU. Clumps, wedges, dunnage, dunnage bags and other devices which are supported directly or indirectly by fixed blocking structures are also blocking.

Blocking is first of all a method to prevent the cargo from sliding, but if the blocking reaches up to or above the cargo’s center of gravity it also prevents tipping.

Blocking should be used as far as possible.

Blocking in combination with top-over lashing
Blocking using dunnage bags and by putting cargo direct to head and sideboards.

Top-over lashing

Top-over lashings can be used to prevent sliding and tipping in all directions. It is a method using pre-tension applied to the Cordlash system by either a Cordlash hand or pneumatic tensioner and friction between the cargo and the CTU floor.

Below you will find the conditions under which top-over lashings may be used:

Single top-over lashing using 2 buckle-hooks: When using the tables for topover lashing the angle between the lashing and the platform bed is of great importance. The tables are valid for an angle between 75°- 90°. If the angle is between 30°- 75°, either twice the number of lashings are needed or half of the values in the tables. If the angle is smaller than 30° another cargo securing method should be used!

If a double top-over lashing is used, values in the top-over tables may be increased by a factor of 2: The pre-tension values of Cordlash hand and pneumatic tooling is found in the table in section 13. The cargo weights that can be secured using Cordlash tensioners can be found in section 15 per Cordlash cargo securing system. The values are proportional to the tensioners system pre-tension.

Single top-over lashing using 2 buckle-hooks
Double top-over lashing using one or two buckles.

Loop lashing

Loop lashings can be used to prevent sliding and tipping sideways. Sliding is prevented by the MSL (Maximum Securing Load) of the Cordlash system. Tipping is however prevented by the system pre-tension applied by either a Cordlash hand or pneumatic tensioner. The conditions under which loop lashing may be used are found below:

A pair of loop lashings prevents the cargo from sliding and tipping sideways. Minimum one pair of loop lashings per section should be used.
When long cargo units are secured with loop lashings at least two pairs should be used to prevent the cargo from twisting.

Straight/cross lashing

Straight or cross lashings are used to prevent sliding and tipping in all directions by using the MSL (Maximum Securing Load) of the Cordlash system. The conditions under which a straight or cross lashing may be used are found below.

The tables are valid for an angle of 30 – 60° between the lashing and the platform bed. Sideways/lengthways the lashing angle should also be between 30 – 60°. If the cargo unit is blocked forward and backward, and the lashings are placed with an angle of 90° towards the longitudinal axle the cargo weight in the tables may be doubled.

The allowable areas for fixing the lashings on the cargo unit is bounded by straight lines (one for each side), drawn through the center of gravity at an angle of 45°. When the lashings are fixed above the center of gravity, the unit may also have to be blocked at the bottom to prevent sliding.

If one piece of lashing is used between 2 buckle-hooks only 50% of the values in the tables may be used.

Spring lashing

Spring lashings can be used to prevent sliding and tipping in one direction per lashing either forward, backward or sideward, by using the MSL (Maximum Securing Load) of the Cordlash system. The conditions under which a spring lashing may be used are found below:

Alternative A is not fully effective for avoiding tipping.

Alternative B – the horizontal lashing must be a double looped Cordlash system around cargo

Alternative C has two parts attached to four lashing points and secures twice the values in the tables.

When using a spring lashing to prevent tipping, only the weight of the last section needs to be taken to calculate the number of lashings, not the whole cargo weight!

The angle between the lashing and the platform bed should be maximum 45°. There are a number of ways to apply a spring lashing. If the spring lashing doesn’t act at the top of the cargo the weights in the tables for cargo weights prevented from tipping is decreased.

Note: if one piece of lashing is used between 2 buckle-hooks only 50% of the values in the tables may be used.

Table of Cordlash system MSL values
Note: if one piece of lashing is used between 2 buckle-hooks only 50% of the values in the tables may be used.
Table of Cordlash system pre-tension values
Note: If Cordlash is used as a double top-over system as shown in the symbols below, the values in the tables in section 15 may be doubled.

Chemical Industry

Safe cargo securing for the Chemical Industry

Cordstrap’s mission is to keep the world’s cargo safe. We provide our customers with innovative solutions and expert advice and deliver the physical insurance global shipping needs – on rail, sea, road and air. The rapid global expansion of the chemical industry has seen sharp growth of manufacturers and suppliers in the USA, Germany, and developing markets, producing products for their own use and international export. As an example, production in the USA is expected to grow at a rate that will see industry shipments reach $1 trillion by 2018.*

Such a scale of activity creates a massive shipping requirement, with some unique challenges. Any suspension of supply in the chemical industry increases the cost of the products. Thus raw materials at one end of the process and products at the other must be shipped reliably and on time.

Cordstrap’s resource – with five manufacturing locations and operations in 50 countries worldwide – means that we are able to offer cargo securing solutions wherever the industry requires them. And 50 years experience of dealing with the typical loads of the chemical industry – whether drums, IBC’s, big bags, pails or super sacks – means
we understand the need to keep control of total cost of ownership and ensure time and cost efficiency are maximized during cargo securing.

Cordstrap Applications

Cordstrap’s cargo securing products are world-class. But it is the applications that use these products that ensure we can engineer the maximum protection for their goods during shipping.

Whatever the means of shipping and whether in 55-gallon drums, super sacks, 25kg bags or IBC’s, our solutions provide the physical insurance needed in a complex supply chain economically, efficiently and safely. And with full CTU code compliance.

Containerization

We work with chemical manufacturers that ship cargo in containers to provide a complete container solution – including innovative modular systems – for the industry.

Cordstrap Lashing Solutions

Whether securing drums or IBC’s in containers, Cordstrap lashing is the most effective way to secure cargo for international shipping.

Our polyester lashing has many advantages over conventional cargo securing products such as heavy-duty steel straps, chains or wood blocking and bracing, in terms of preventing damage during transportation.

Benefits of Cordstrap Polyester Lashing include:

  • Certified by AAR and Germanisher Lloyd
  • Strong – system strength of up to 20 tons
  • Easy, fast and safe to apply
  • Protective
  • Shock absorbent
  • Possibility of personalization
  • Light weight
  • Portability

Dunnage Bags
Cordstrap dunnage bags are specifically designed to secure and stabilize cargo in containers, closed railcars, trucks and ships. Where palletized cartons are containerized, dunnage bags should be used in conjunction with Cordstrap lashing.

They prevent both lateral and longitudinal movement and, using our unique precision inflation system, are much more effective in stabilizing cargo compared with wood blocking and bracing – which are both more costly and time-consuming.

Cordstrap will advise on the most effective dunnage bag to match a customer’s individual requirements.

Benefits of Cordstrap Dunnage Bags include:

  • AAR approved
  • Easy, fast and safe to apply
  • Moisture resistant
  • Time saving
  • Light weight
  • Re-usable
  • Easy to remove at destination
  • Constructed from 100% recyclable materials

Bundling and Palletizing

Cordstrap are the leading supplier of strapping and bundling solutions for cargo such as drums and pails; along with a range of accessories, these are specifically designed for the protection of chemical cargo.

Cordstrap Strapping Solutions

Cordstrap’s polyester composite strapping solutions provide a high quality, strong solution to securing products for chemical manufacturers.

Our composite strap, together with a high quality steel buckle, provides optimal strength in all securing applications.

Cordstrap buckles are the most reliable closing method for securing products. They are easy to use and can be consistently applied with our high quality, low maintenance tooling range.

Made of non-abrasive material, Cordstrap’s composite strapping is easy to use, will not damage products in transit and is safe to apply and remove.

Benefits of Cordstrap Strapping include:

  • Strong
  • Easy, fast and safe to apply
  • Protective
  • Shock absorbent
  • Possibility of personalization
  • Light weight
  • Portable
  • Re-tensionable
  • Weather resistant
  • Rust and rot-proof
  • Certified and approved by Germanischer Lloyd

Cordstrap Accessories

For all applications, a comprehensive range of complimentary accessories, including edge protection, dessicants and anti slip mats, allow Cordstrap’s application specialists to design the most precise solution to the shipping challenges of customers in the chemical industry – in combination with the appropriate products.
