Lashing bars K-series for internal or external lashing The MacGregor Allset design K-series of lashing bars, for internal and/or external lashing use, feature a special rod head design with more positioning options. The K-series of lashing bars are used together with FLX5-A type of turnbuckles and offer an adjustable rod head with two possible positions, inner or outer, for the lashing bar. This feature makes double parallel external lashing possible and better stack weight distribution can be achieved. The lashing bars use custom-designed distances between the knobs to minimise the revolutions needed for length adjustments of the turnbuckle depending on the container types in the stack. We have developed the K-series lashing bar system even further and introduce an extra low weight version – with a maintained breaking load value – of the K-series, the 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.
