Load securing: saving costs and time

"Oversizing that does no one any good"                   

When lashing down, the main thing is the pre-tensioning force that presses the load downwards (Standard Tension Force, STF, see info box). Shippers, hauliers and drivers know this. Nevertheless, lashing straps with a lower STF are more in demand than those with a higher one. And this despite the fact that the more suitable versions are cheaper. - A curiosity that we talked about with Ralf Schmitz from SpanSet Product Management....read more

Load safety: What does “conforming to the norm” mean?

Now is the time to provide information about its background, to interpret the present norm and to adjust it as soon as possible.... read more
