Getting Started

To Apply Cordstrap Composite Lashing you start by feeding the lashing though the D-ring inside the container and around the cargo you need to secure.

Fold the lashing (furthest away) away from you. Take a buckle in your left hand with the prongs pointing to the right. Feed the loop of the strap through the center of the buckle and around the upper prong. Fold the other side of the lashing (closest to you) toward you,  feed the loop through the center of the buckle and around the bottom prong. Pull the lashing hand tight.

Place the manual tensioner from the right side onto the bottom lashing. Push the handle to release the gripper foot and place the bottom lashing underneath the gripper foot. Place the top part of the bottom lashing (the coil) through the knife assembly and winger. Tension the strap by moving the handle up and down. Push the handle of the tensioner to cut the lashing and move the tensioner away to the right side.

Sometimes you don’t have enough room inside the container to place the tensioner far enough away from the buckle to reach optimum tension. In this situation you simply remove the tensioning tool, reposition it onto the bottom lashing and repeat the tensioning proces.
