lashing

Lashing is a method used to secure, strengthen, or stabilize cargo, structures, or components by tightly binding them together with ropes, cables, or other fastening devices. It involves wrapping and tightening these materials around the items to prevent movement, shifting, or falling during transport or installation. Lashing is essential in shipping, construction, and maritime operations to ensure safety and integrity, especially when handling heavy or bulky loads. Proper lashing techniques distribute forces evenly, reducing risk of damage and maintaining stability in dynamic conditions.
