Corner Protection
To protect a lashing system from acute edges, the use of a heavy duty plastic corner piece can be very effective for protecting both the webbing & the object.

lashing Protection
We manufacture a range of polyester webbing lashing systems combining polyester webbing with specifically designed fitting and ratchet tensioners for many uses including vehicle recovery.
When using lashing systems, take care not to damage the webbing components. In order to carry out safe lashing procedures, many applications require protection between the load and the lashing system.
Protection sleeves are available, together with moulded plastic corner pieces, polyurethane sleeves or pads. Protective sleeves manufactured from polyester provide resistance to abrasion. Sleeves are available to suit any application. As an alternative, webbing pads can be sewn to the lashings at fixed points, to protect a lashing system from acute edges. In addition, we recommend the use of a plastic corner piece or polyurethane sleeve.
Chemical Environments
Take extreme care when using lashing products in a chemical environment. Alternative materials are available in cases where polyester is not safely acceptable. We can advise on ‘safe handling’ within all normal and hazardous environments.
Pre Use Checks
All products should be regularly inspected during use. These checks should be extended to both webbing and fixings. If any doubt exists as to the fitness for use, remove the product from service for examination by a competent person.
Storage
Store lashings and fixings in a clean and dry environment, in addition to keeping it away from heat and chemicals.
