This includes several key aspects such as the webbing elongation being rated at 7% capacity and that the LC (lashing capacity) must be able to withstand a force of 1.25 x LC without deformation and 2 x LC before failure.

• Our container fittings and shipping supplies are all manufactured to international safety standards - works certificates and / or DNV type approvals are available upon request at the point of order. These ensure that our goods are tested and checked vigorously before even leaving the factory. Please inquire for more information regarding your specific product.
