Installing Corner Lashing Plates on Flat Racks

Place one Cordstrap Corner Lashing Plate on each corner on top of the over sized crate. After placing the plates, you now have multiple lashing attachment points to be used to create cross lashings around the crate on the flat rack. The video gives a close up demonstration of how to apply these corner lashing plates together with our one-way Cordstrap Lashing system. It is a simple application, yet complex to write down and in this particular case a video says more than a 1,000 words.

When To Use Cordstrap Corner Lashing Plates?

Securing over sized or out of gauge crates on flat racks can be dangerous and difficult because crates lack direct attachment points for the lashings. Most often top-over lashings are used. However, they allow for side way movement during transportation. To create attachment points and prevent side way movement Cordstrap invented and developed these Corner Lashing Plates. This unique solution secures over sized crates and cargo of all shapes and sizes on flat

A direct lashing is the best method to secure cargo on a flat rack (read: Tie Down vs Direct Lashings). To create attachment points and prevent side way movement Cordstrap invented and developed the Corner Lashing Plate. This plate is a unique solution to secure over-sized crates and cargo of all shapes and sizes on flat racks.  Cordstrap’s corner lashing plates are quick and easy to apply and withstand forces of up to 15,000kg.

Using corner lashing plates requires less polyester lashing straps and can be applied faster than a top-over lashing. The results for you are a significant reduction of cost and labour time!
