How LPX Trade Improved Cargo Safety with Lashing Equipment
Cargo Safety Case Study
In logistics, every journey is a test of safety and reliability. A single unsecured pallet can put both cargo and drivers at risk, and even small mistakes can lead to damage, delays, and costly insurance claims. At LPX Trade, we specialize in making sure that doesn’t happen. This case study shows how the right lashing equipment helped one of our clients significantly improve cargo safety and efficiency.
The Challenge: Unstable Cargo on Long Hauls
A regional transport company contacted us after repeated issues with cargo shifting during long-distance trucking. Their drivers were spending extra time re-securing loads at checkpoints, and one incident had already caused minor product damage. The company needed a solution that would:
Prevent cargo from moving during sharp turns or sudden braking.
Reduce driver stress and loading time.
Comply with EU cargo securing regulations to avoid fines.
The Solution: Professional Lashing Equipment from LPX Trade
After evaluating the cargo type (palletized consumer goods) and trailer design, our experts recommended:
Heavy-duty lashing straps with ratchets for primary securing.
Protective corner pieces to prevent strap damage and keep tension even.
Anti-slip mats under pallets to increase friction and reduce movement.
This combination provided both vertical and horizontal stability for the load.
The Results: Fewer Incidents, Higher Efficiency
Within the first month, the client reported:
Zero cargo shifts on routes where issues had previously occurred.
30% faster loading times, since drivers gained confidence in the new system.
Improved driver satisfaction, as less time was spent worrying about cargo stability.
Full compliance with cargo safety standards, reducing risk of penalties.
One driver noted:
“With the new lashing equipment, I don’t need to stop mid-route to recheck the load. I know it’s secure from start to finish.”
