cargo lashing

Cargo lashing is a method used to secure cargo in place during transportation, particularly in shipping and trucking. It involves using ropes, straps, or chains to tightly fasten items to prevent them from shifting, tipping, or being damaged while in transit. Proper lashing is crucial for ensuring the safety of the cargo, as well as the safety of the vehicle and its crew. This practice helps maintain stability, reduces the risk of accidents, and minimizes potential losses. Lashing techniques vary depending on the type of cargo and the mode of transport.
