Cordlash 105 – Frequently Asked Questions


1. What makes Cordlash 105 different from other woven lashings?

Cordlash 105 isn’t just another polyester lashing—it’s the benchmark others try to copy. Manufactured in-house under strict ISO-certified quality control, it uses high-tenacity polyester yarn and a proprietary heat-treatment process that delivers consistent, tested performance. Every batch is AAR Grade 5 approved and witness-tested by Germanischer Lloyd, ensuring compliance for global shipping standards.

2. What types of cargo is Cordlash 105 best suited for?

Cordlash 105 is designed for medium-to-heavy cargo in containers, flat racks, and railcars. Typical applications include:

Steel coils and industrial machinery

Propane tanks, gas cylinders, and other hazardous materials

Timber, wire bundles, and large crates
When used with the Dynamic Load Buckle (DLB10), it is particularly effective for dynamic or shifting loads.

3. How strong is Cordlash 105 in real-world use?

When paired with the correct buckle, Cordlash 105 achieves a system breaking strength of up to 4,000 daN (8,800 lbf).

HDB35 Buckle: ~3,000 daN

HDB10N or DLB10 Buckle: ~4,000 daN
The system maintains tension under both static and dynamic forces, making it ideal for demanding transport conditions.

4. Why choose woven polyester lashing instead of steel?

Safety: No sharp edges, rust, or risk of recoil injury

Cargo Protection: Non-abrasive polyester prevents surface damage

Efficiency: Lightweight, quick to tension, and easy to cut after use

Certified Compliance: AAR approved, CTU Code compliant, GL witnessed testing
Simply put, Cordlash 105 delivers the strength of steel with far fewer risks and easier handling.

5. What tools are recommended to tension Cordlash 105?

Cordstrap designs and manufactures dedicated tools for optimal performance:

Manual: CT-40 (ideal for field use)

Battery Powered: CBT-35 (fast and mobile)

Pneumatic: CT-35 PN (high-volume operations)
Choosing the right tool depends on your volume and working environment—our cargo securing specialists can advise.

6. Can Cordlash 105 secure dynamic loads?

Yes. Dynamic Cargo Securing is one of Cordlash’s patented advantages. When used with the Dynamic Load Buckle (DLB10), Cordlash 105 prevents lashing slippage by locking the strap into specially engineered grooves. This is essential for rail freight or shipments exposed to vibration and impact forces.

7. Is training or support available?

Absolutely. Cordstrap provides on-site training, audits, and implementation support worldwide. Our cargo securing experts help standardize procedures, ensure compliance, and maximize efficiency—something resellers can’t match.

8. How do I know I’m buying genuine Cordstrap products?

Look for Cordstrap’s branded markings and always purchase through authorized channels. Many imitate Cordlash, but none match our patented designs or rigorous testing. We are the only manufacturer with decades of R&D in one-way polyester cargo securing.

9. Can I get a customized solution or site consultation?

Yes. We regularly develop tailored cargo securing solutions and can provide on-site assessments to recommend the right system for your cargo type, transport mode, and regulatory requirements.
