Cargo protection for Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers
Moving large and complex plant securely
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 market for high and heavy equipment is dependent on global growth and business cycles – so as worldwide demand grows, so does the need for manufacturers to securely transport outsize and highly valuable machinery, equipment and parts internationally.
Such a shipping requirement is a complex and costly task, often for example requiring both dedicated facilities and special permits to transport on open roads. There can clearly be very serious consequences if any problems occur.
Manufacturers therefore require shipping partners with a genuinely global reach and resource, who can provide custom-built solutions to their specific cargo securing requirements.
These solutions need to be compliant with all current local and international rules and regulations; and to be supported by a training resource that ensures all personnel involved in the shipping task can operate time and cost effectively – and above all safely. In this way, many of the dangers associated with such journeys can be nullified.
Cordstrap Applications

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

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.
