With more and more cargo being shipped outside Europe, heavy transport specialist Van der Vlist is finding it has more and more movements on flat racks and in containers, so it has been looking at ways to increase efficiency in this area.
To this end, a group of Van der Vlist’s Technical Services team has recently undertaken a special course in strapping, lashing and securing. The course reinforced the latest regulations and the appropriate and certified materials required, as well as running through different ways of working with different cargo.
The course consisted of several theory sessions as well as a daylong practical case study, and all those who took part completed the full course successfully, and received a certificate. While containers shipped worldwide may well be exposed to severe conditions on their journey, Van der Vlist will ensure that the cargo will be safely and securely strapped in to prevent damage.
