At Angkasa Adibayu Buana, we take pride in our ability to handle complex logistics challenges, ensuring safe and efficient transportation for all types of cargo. Recently, we successfully exported large machinery using flat rack containers, requiring precise and secure lashing to prevent movement during transit. This project highlights our expertise in cargo securing, demonstrating our ability to protect valuable shipments even in demanding conditions.

What is Lashing?

Lashing is the process of securing cargo to prevent movement during transportation. It involves using high-strength securing materials such as chains, straps, hooks, and ratchet load binders to keep cargo in place, ensuring safety and stability. For large, over-dimensional cargo, proper lashing is critical to prevent shifting and sliding, which could lead to damage, delays, or safety hazards.

Why Lashing is Critical for Over-Dimensional Cargo Shipments

1. Prevents Cargo Damage

   Over-dimensional cargo, which often includes large and heavy machinery, generators, concrete structures, etc., is often delicate despite its size. Proper lashing keeps it stable, reducing the risk of dents, misalignment, or mechanical damage.

2. Ensures Safety During Transit

   Heavy equipment sliding during transit can be remarkably dangerous. Securing it properly protects the crews, other cargo, and infrastructure from potential accidents.

3. Complies with International Shipping Standards

   Global shipping regulations require cargo to be securely fastened. By following industry standards, we ensure hassle-free inspection during customs clearance and smooth shipment of the goods.

How We Successfully Shipped Over-Dimensional Cargo Overseas

For our recent project, we meticulously planned and executed a comprehensive lashing strategy to secure large industry machinery onto a flat rack container for export overseas. Our approach includes:

• Using Premium Lashing Materials: We utilized high-tensile steel chains, industrial grade ratchet load binders to apply proper attention, and durable wood dunnage to support and distribute the cargo's weight evenly. Our lashing hooks and tensioners were carefully positioned to ensure maximum stability. 
• Load Balancing Techniques: Our team carefully distributed the cargo weight evenly across the flat rack, using the heavy-duty wood dunnage as support, preventing any risk of tilting or instability.
• Rigorous Safety Inspections: Before dispatch, we conducted security checks and inspections to confirm the lashing was tight and met all the safety standards for this particular commodity.
• Commitment to Quality and Reliability: We take every shipment seriously, using only the best materials and techniques to ensure your cargo arrives safe and sound at its destination.
