Getting Started

To apply Cordlash one way lashing for dynamic freight, start by feeding the lashing through the attachment points of the flat rack and freight you need to secure.

Take the Cordstrap Dynablock buckle into your left hand. Feed the lashing (furthest away) through the center of the buckle (upwards) and away from you. Fold the lashing over and under the buckle and feed lashing through the upper small opening of the buckle (upwards) and back through the center of the buckle (downwards).

Feed the bottom lashing (attached to coil) through the center of the buckle (upwards) towards you. Fold the lashing over and under the buckle and feed the lashing through the bottom small opening of the buckle (upwards) and back through the center of the buckle (downwards). Pull the lashing hand tight

Place the manual tensioner onto the bottom lashing. Push the handle to release the gripper foot of the tensioner and place the bottom lashing underneath the gripper foot. Feed the end of the bottom lashing (the coil) through the dual action winger/knife assembly.

Move the handle of the manual tensioner up and down and tension the lashing. When you have reached your desired optimum tension, push the handle and cut the Cordlash.

This video shows how Cordlash is tensioned with a manual tensioner. You can also use a battery operated tensioner. Our video How to Apply Cordlash Heavy Duty Lashing for Dynamic Cargo demonstrates the use of our pneumatic tensioner.

When to use Cordstrap’s One Way Lashing Solution for Dynamic Freight?

For static or dynamic freight, or freight that behaves dynamically, Cordstrap offers a single solution for all shipping needs. Lashing used to secure dynamic freight or freight that behaves dynamically can loosen due to the nature of the freight or vibration. This is prevented by Cordstrap’s latest innovation in buckle technology, Dynablock. The Dynablock buckle, invented and patented by Cordstrap, is the highest degree of strength and security available in the polyester lashing industry. Dynablock buckles are manufactured from high quality steel and available in various sizes and strengths. The buckle is fast and easy to apply.

Cordlash heavy duty lashing systems comes in a plastic bag. The amount of meters depends on the type of lashing. You can read more about our wide variety of lashing types, systems and strengths on on our lashing products page. You only use the length of lashing needed. This makes the application cheaper and easier to apply than ratchet straps and steel chains. Much lighter in weight than steel chains and freedom to position the tensioning tool allows for a fast and easy application.

Cordlash Woven Lashing is available in a wide variety of independently certified system strengths, ranging from 3,000kg up to 20 tons.
