1 5/8" x 670' GatorLASH Heavy Duty Lashing - 1629

Secure Your Heaviest Loads with GatorLASH® Heavy Duty Lashing

When it comes to securing irregular or heavy cargo on railcars, flatbeds, or containers, the 1 5/8" x 670' GatorLASH Heavy Duty Lashing is the industry standard for reliability. Engineered as a high-strength alternative to steel strapping and expensive ratchet straps, this woven polyester lashing provides the same tensioning power as steel but at 75% less weight.

Unlike steel, GatorLASH is naturally shock-absorbing, meaning it stays tight even during sudden stops or shifting transit conditions. Its soft-edged, woven construction ensures it won't damage your cargo surfaces, rust in extreme weather, or snap dangerously during application or removal.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Strength: Boasts a nominal break strength of 11,000 lbs., making it ideal for industrial machinery, lumber, and heavy equipment.
• Shock Absorbent: The woven polyester fibers stretch slightly to absorb impact without breaking, splitting, or cracking.
