Lashing Accessories

Enhance your cargo securing capabilities with our range of lashing accessories, designed to complement cargo lashing equipment for efficient and secure transportation. Our assortment includes anti-slip mats, protective corners, and more, offering a comprehensive solution for maximising cargo restraint.

Anti Slip Mats

Crafted from durable rubber, these mats provide an effective method to increase the friction coefficient beneath your goods, ensuring superior load securement. The friction coefficient, determined by the surface pairing (e.g., wooden pallet and steel truck), influences how smoothly your goods move during transit. By strategically placing rubber mats beneath your cargo, you guarantee a higher friction coefficient, ensuring compliance with the CTU code. Invest in anti-slip mats to optimise load stability and streamline your cargo transportation process.

  • Temperature resistant – can withstand temperatures between -30°C to 100°C.
  • Increase the friction anywhere from 0.6µ to 0.9µ.

Lashing Magnets

These magnets are designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and convenience of lashing installation. By utilising magnetic force, these magnets securely keep the lashing straps organised and properly aligned.

  • 41 kg holding force
  • Metal body with 36mm diameter
  • Residue-free removable

Quarter Shell Corner Protectors

Custom designed as corner protection for IBCs or 200L drums, the heavy corner protectors prevent lashing ‘bite in’ on your products during tension and shipment.

  • 10 mm thick to withstand substantial force
  • Even distribution of force across whole load

Slotted Corner Protectors

A common challenge when using the Red Lash system on product prone to load shift, is the horizontal straps remaining in place throughout the export journey. The slotted corner protectors not only help by holding the straps stayg in place, but they also protect softer packaging types such as cartons or paper bags from damage caused by the lashing. These corner angles are manufactured in Europe.

  • Made from recycled cardboard
  • TUV Rheinland Certified
  • CTU Code Compliant

What Our Customers Say

Any Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.

What is lashing in the context of cargo securing?

Lashing refers to the process of securing cargo to prevent it from shifting or falling during transportation. This is typically done using straps, chains, binders, or other devices.

Lashing is essential to ensure the stability and safety of cargo during transit. It prevents damage to the cargo and helps maintain the overall safety of the transportation vehicle.

Lashing is necessary for various types of cargo, including large and heavy goods, machinery, equipment, and irregularly shaped items.

The correct tension for lashings depends on the type of cargo, the lashing material used, and regulatory requirements. X-Pak can provide free training on how to implement lashing on your cargo.

Yes, there are international standards and guidelines, such as those set by the Load Restraints Guide 2018, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other regulatory bodies. These standards provide recommendations for the safe and secure transport of cargo.

The reuse of lashing equipment depends on its condition and compliance with safety standards. Regular inspections should be conducted, and damaged or worn-out equipment should be replaced to ensure continued safety.

The amount of lashing required depends on the weight, size, and characteristics of the cargo. We can provide guidance for determining the appropriate number and configuration of lashings.

There are three main types of tooling used for lashing straps. Firstly manual tools are used for smaller day-to-day operations and mostly for lightweight straps. Battery operated tensioners are used to create a consistent, even tension on loads. Pneumatic tools are mostly used on straps requiring high pre tension.

Yes, different modes of transportation (road, sea, air, rail) may have specific regulations regarding cargo securing and lashing. It’s important to be aware of and comply with these regulations to ensure safe transport.

Yes, lashing can be used in combination with other methods such as dunnage bags, blocking and bracing, and anti-slip mats. The choice of methods depends on the type of cargo and the specific requirements of the transportation situation.

Any Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.

What is PET strapping?

PET strapping, also known as polyester strapping or pet strap, is a high tensile plastic strapping designed for securing heavy palletised loads during road, rail and sea transport.

At X-Pak, our PET strapping is engineered for Australian conditions. It is used extensively across cotton gins, timber mills, hay exporters, brick manufacturers, mining suppliers and container packers who require consistent tension retention and compliance with the CTU Code and NHVR Load Restraint Guide.

It is commonly green to clearly distinguish it from lighter duty polypropylene strapping used for cartons and light bundling.

In most Australian industrial applications, yes.

High quality PET strapping delivers break strengths comparable to steel strapping while offering one critical advantage: elastic memory. If your load settles during transit, PET strap contracts and maintains tension. Steel does not. Once steel goes slack, the load is unsecured.

We regularly assist sites transitioning from steel to PET with no disruption to production. If you are unsure, we can review your current strap specification and confirm what break strength is actually required.

Steel strapping carries risk when cut under tension. Lash back injuries and sharp edge lacerations are well documented in warehouse environments.

PET strapping is safer to handle:

  • No sharp edges
  • No dangerous spring back
  • Significantly lighter rolls
  • Reduced manual handling strain

Polypropylene strapping is suited for:

  • Light cartons
  • Internal pallet moves
  • Short term storage

PET strapping is suited for:

  • Heavy palletised goods
  • Export containers
  • Timber, cotton, bricks, hay and mining products
  • Long haul transport

If your load is travelling by road, rail or sea, PET strapping is generally the correct specification. Using polypropylene strap on heavy loads often leads to stretch loss and pallet instability.

If you want clarity, we can assess your pallet weight, stacking pattern and transport method and recommend the correct strap width and break strength.

PET strapping is available in multiple widths and break strengths, typically ranging from approximately 530 kg to over 1350 kg.

The correct selection depends on:

  • Pallet weight
  • Load height
  • Transport method
  • Whether the freight is containerised
  • Restraint method

Over specifying increases cost. Under specifying increases risk. There is often a simpler way to approach this than just choosing the thickest strap available.

We can calculate the appropriate specification for your operation and ensure it aligns with compliance requirements.

PET strapping can be applied using:

  • Manual tensioners and sealers
  • Combination tools
  • Buckle systems
  • Battery powered friction weld tools
  • Fully automatic strapping machines

For high volume palletising, battery powered strapping tools significantly improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue.

X-Pak also offers a loan tool program to ensure zero downtime if your tool requires servicing. For manufacturing sites running continuous production, this removes a common operational risk.

Yes.

Polyester strapping, commonly known as PET strapping or pet strap, is recyclable when clean and separated from general waste.

At X-Pak, we support this through our unique StrapCycle program. StrapCycle is a practical, closed loop recovery solution designed for Australian manufacturers, exporters and freight operators using PET strapping in volume.

Many Australian manufacturers see material cost reductions along with improved safety and handling efficiency.

Yes. We supply PET strapping across Australia through our warehousing network, supporting manufacturers, exporters and freight operators nationally.

Yes.

If you are considering changing from steel or reviewing your current PET strapping supplier, we can:

  • Provide a free sample
  • Review your current strap specification
  • Assess your strapping tools
  • Recommend a compliant, cost effective setup

There is often a simpler and safer way to approach pallet restraint. Happy to walk through it with you

What is load restraint?

Load restraint is the process of securing cargo within a transportation vessel, such as a truck, ship, or train, to prevent movement, shifting, or falling during transit.

Load restraint is crucial to ensure the safety of the cargo, the vehicle, and everyone involved in the transportation process. It prevents accidents, damage to the cargo, and maintains overall road and transportation safety in the logistics supply chain.

Various devices are used for load restraint, including strapping, lashing, dunnage bags, anti-slip mats, and tensioners. The choice of device depends on the type of cargo, the mode of transportation, and the regulations governing the transport.
The appropriate method depends on factors such as the weight, size, and shape of the cargo. Regulatory requirements and the mode of transportation also play a role. Contact X-Pak for free advice on the most effective solution for you.
