Flexilash The parallel internal lashing system is the most commonly used system on container vessels today. The MacGregor Allset Flexilash system has some unique features promoting cargo and working safety throughout its long working lifetime. The EZ-lock fail-safe turnbuckle locking system with auto-engage function, the spring-loaded toggle pin in the jaw, and the design of the swage-fitted rod head on the lashing bar make sure that the turnbuckles stay safely tightened under all conditions.
High grade steel alloys and fully forged components give the Flexilash system highest durability and ensure a long working lifetime. The small diameter and hard surface of the lashing bars substantially reduce wear at the intersection of two lashing bars. All Flexilash components are hot-dip galvanised, even the threads on the turnbuckle. Related lashing products: FLX-RD Lashing bars, see page 77 FLX5 Turnbuckles, see page 67
The same technical features contribute to working safety by ensuring that components cannot work loose, fall out and cause injury. In addition, the sliding nut reduces the amount of lifting involved in hooking on, and the equipment can be instantly reduced to its minimum length for storage.
