General Lashing Equipment · Cargo Lashing & Container Equipment
Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of cargo securing equipment. The Lashing eye, double, LEX-2 from MacGregor Finland Oy is designed with high-tensile forged steel and a hot-dip galvanized coating to meet ISO 3874 standards, providing tensile strength of at least 800 MPa and hardness between 35-45 HRC. This robust construction ensures durability even in harsh marine environments. Common failure points include issues with the locking mechanism, visible wear, corrosion, and proper certification. For instance, manual twistlocks should be checked for smooth rotation through a full 90° range, while automatic units like the C8A and Hippo models must engage and release without binding or delay. Visible cracks, plastic deformation, and rust are also critical inspection points, as is ensuring all components have valid certification from recognized bodies such as DNV, BV, KR, ABS, or LR. Maintenance guidelines recommend keeping a stock of twist locks (10-20% of capacity) with a lead time of 1-3 weeks. Regular inspections, including checking the twist lock cone after every voyage and lashing bar threads monthly, are essential to prevent failures and ensure the Lashing eye, double, LEX-2 remains in optimal condition.
