The Importance Of Lashing Rings
Lashing Rings are d-shaped rings that are usually bolted or welded to the ground of your commercial vehicle. Cargo that is not properly secured on a commercial vehicle can move around during transport and cause damage or can cause an accident if the cargo falls off the vehicle. Either way, it can potentially cause a disaster that can lead to heavy costs. Attaching a load restraint to the lashing ring and tightening the restraint clamps the cargo to the floor of your vehicle, securely holding your cargo in place and preventing your cargo from moving completely. Lashing Rings play a very important role in keeping your cargo safe and secure during transport.
Lashing Fittings & How it Works
Lashing fittings play an important role in the world of transportation, specially crafted to keep cargo safe and sound within shipping containers. Their sole purpose is to keep everything in place and stop your cargo from sliding or tumbling around during transport, keeping it steady and protected. It is important that shipments arrive intact and free from any potential harm caused by unexpected movements or instability while on the move.
Lashing fittings typically involve lashing rings, lashing bars, and lashing rods. Lashing Rings are typically positioned on the interior side of standard dry van containers, welded to the top side rail of the container, the bottom side rail, and the interior recessed front and rear corner posts. The inner lashing rings are crucial when securing cargo within shipping containers.

Made from marine grade 316 stainless steel which wears extremely well, is tarnish-resistant, features low oxidation rates, and is resistant to corrosion when exposed to harsh environments.
