Safe Load Securing for Heavy Haul Transport

Posted 23/11/2023
Lashing Solutions,

A 200+ tonne, 16-metre-high boiler was safely transported using RUD’s engineered lashing solution, ensuring stability, reducing tipping risk and maintaining control across challenging terrain and tight turns.

The Challenge

An Italian freight company was contracted to transport a large boiler, over 16 meters high and weighing over 200 tonnes, to a refinery. The large size and weight of the load required careful planning because even a slight incline in the road could put immense stress on the lashing components. Adding to the complexity, narrow turns posed a significant risk of tipping the load.

The Solution

RUD provided a customised approach, including:

  • Clear Working Load Limits (WLL) - All RUD products come with clear WLL labels to ensure proper use
  • Technical Expertise - RUD offered a lashing solution based on the specific load characteristics and transportation requirements
  • Optimised Lashing Design - All RUD products are designed with rounded and durable shapes to minimise wear and tear and guarantee long-lasting performance

The Benefits

  • Enhanced Load Control - High-capacity lashings managed the shifting forces during transportation, ensuring stability even on challenging terrain
  • Reduced Tipping Risk - Strategically placed anchor points prevented tipping during turns and manoeuvres
  • Durability and Reliability - Robust and wear-resistant materials ensured long-lasting performance for multiple journeys
