Re tensionable Lashing Solution

Empowering full control of cargo tension and securing performance, from loading to destination

Securing heavy and breakbulk cargo is complex and challenging. Loads are irregular, access is limited, and securing is often done under time and operational pressure. Applying the right level of tension is already variable. Maintaining that tension once cargo is in transit, under vibration, settling, and movement, is even harder to control.

The Cordstrap Re‑tensionable Lashing Solution (RLS) gives you practical, repeatable control over tension – from loading through to destination.

Delivers high and consistent tension from the start
Maintains and restores tension reliably throughout the journey
Reduces operational complexity, time, and labor
Improves safety and handling from loading through to the destination

The challenges with traditional securing

Securing breakbulk and heavy cargo is complex and challenging:

Limited time and crew
Difficult access to lashing points
Heavy or irregular cargo
Manual tools and physical effort

But the constraints don’t stop there, they are built into the systems being used.

Steel Chains and Wire Rope

Heavy and difficult to handle – often requires multiple operators
Time-consuming to install, tension and adjust
Limited flexibility – fixed lengths or need to join sections
High physical effort – fatigue and safety risk
Risk of cargo damage (rust, abrasion, contamination)

10-Ton Ratchet Straps

Limited achievable pre‑tension for heavy or demanding loads
Tension depends on operator strength and technique
Re‑tensioning is possible – but often impractical under real conditions (access constraints, time pressure, working at height)
Fixed lengths – not always suited to load configuration
Results vary between operators and shipments

Engineered to deliver control from loading to destination

The Cordstrap Re-tensionable Lashing Solution is designed to make tension control practical, repeatable, and consistent.

Tool-controlled pre‑tension: Same result, regardless of operator
Built-in re‑tensioning capability: Adjust quickly when conditions change
System-based approach: Less reliance on manual effort and judgement

This shifts securing from variable execution to controlled performance – from loading to destination.

FAQs

Can traditional systems be re‑tensioned?

Sometimes, it depends on the solution. However, in many operations it is time-consuming, difficult to access, and inconsistently applied, especially once cargo is in transit.

How does RLS compare to chains and wire rope?

RLS is lighter, faster to apply, and eliminates the risk of rust, abrasion, or cargo contamination. It also achieves higher pre-tension than traditional methods with tool-controlled consistency, reducing reliance on operator judgement.

Is the applied tension more consistent?

Yes. Tool-assisted tensioning delivers repeatable, controlled results, reducing operator variability.

Where is RLS typically used?

Heavy or high-value cargo
Complex or irregular loads
Operations where consistency and control are critical

Is the RLS compliant?

Yes. It is DNV Verified. Meets CTU Code, EN 12195-2 and AAR Grade. Full documentation - including certificates and cargo securing plans - is available for vessel authorities, marine surveyors, and insurance surveyors on request.

What industries and cargo types is the RLS best suited for?

The RLS is designed for breakbulk and heavy cargo – particularly steel pipes, manufactured goods, and project cargo. It eliminates the rust and contamination risk of chains, provides higher pre-tension, and is fully certified.

How does the Dynablock® work?

The patented buckle absorbs dynamic shock forces during transit without losing securing tension – unlike standard buckles that slip or snap. This means cargo stays secured even under vibration, settlement, and weather conditions.
