Lashing bars FLX-RD for Flexilash lashing system MacGregor Allset-design FLX-RD knobtype lashing bars are used together with the FLX5-TB family of turnbuckles in the MacGregor Flexilash system. The FLX-RD is compact and fully forged, and is one of the lightest lashing bars on the market. This makes handling and operating the system easier and faster for the stevedores. The standard version of FLX-RD is designed for a 50-tonne breaking load, but this lashing bar can also be supplied as a lighter 36-tonne breaking load version, the FLX-RD-36. For increased cargo safety, MacGregor Allset lashing bars have a swage-fitted shaft for the rod head. This one-piece design is more compact and offers higher durability than nut and bolt assemblies of lashing bars. We have developed the design of the FLX-RD system even further and introduce an extra low weight version – with a maintained breaking load value – to the FLX-RD family, the FLX Ultra Strength lashing bar. Advanced and accurate heat treatment of the lashing bar enables the steel strength potential to be fully utilised. The Ultra Strength lashing bar is only 23mm in diameter and has a 50-tonne breaking load. The 36-tonne breaking load version is only 20mm in diameter. This means an extra light lashing bar that can be handled more safely, easily and faster by the stevedores in port. FLX-RD Product
