CARGO LASHING EQUIPMENT CAPE TOWN

DunLash Load Securing Solutions for the Western Cape’s Logistics and Export Hub

Cape Town: A Critical Hub for Cargo Securing

Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most important logistics and export centres. The Port of Cape Town handles significant container, break-bulk, and refrigerated cargo volumes, serving the Western Cape’s manufacturing, agricultural, and fishing industries as well as international trade routes connecting Southern Africa to Europe, the Americas, and West Africa.

Cargo moving through Cape Town faces specific challenges that demand reliable load securing:

  • Ocean swell and vessel movement on the Atlantic shipping routes
  • Wind exposure during port handling and cargo stacking at the Cape Town Container Terminal
  • Long-distance road freight connections to Gauteng and the Eastern Cape
  • Temperature-sensitive agricultural and fresh produce exports requiring cold-chain integrity
  • Break-bulk and project cargo moving through the multi-purpose terminal

DunLash supplies Cape Town’s logistics operators, exporters, manufacturers, and freight companies with a complete range of cargo securing products, backed by independently verified product specifications.

Cargo Securing Products Available in Cape Town

Composite Polyester Strapping

DunLash composite polyester strapping is available in widths from 13mm to 32mm with SGS certified system breaking strengths from 529daN to 2,771daN. Our composite strapping range includes standard and AAR-rated options for Cape Town’s manufacturing, engineering, and export sectors.

Composite strapping is widely used in the Western Cape for securing palletised goods, machinery, steel products, and break-bulk cargo moving through the Port of Cape Town.

Woven Polyester Lashing

DunLash woven polyester lashing is available in widths from 32mm to 50mm with SGS certified system breaking strengths from 2,850daN to 13,850daN. Our lashing range is designed for medium to heavy-duty cargo restraint, including break-bulk vessel cargo, containerised loads, and oversized shipments.

Woven polyester lashing is used extensively at the Port of Cape Town for securing heavy cargo on vessels, flat racks, and inside containers bound for international destinations.

Dunnage Air Bags

DunLash PP dunnage air bags are available in sizes from 90×120cm to 90×225cm, in AAR Level 0, Level 1, and Level 2. Working pressures range from 2psi to 5psi with burst pressures up to 17psi. All bags are ISO 9001 certified and rated for operating temperatures from −20°C to 60°C.

Dunnage bags are essential for container freight moving through Cape Town, preventing cargo movement during port handling and the Atlantic crossing to European and American markets.

Container Desiccants

Cape Town’s coastal climate creates condensation risks inside shipping containers during ocean transport. DunLash container desiccants protect cargo from moisture damage, mould, and corrosion throughout the shipping journey.

Thermal Container Liners and Pallet Covers

For Cape Town’s significant temperature-sensitive export market — including wine, fresh produce, and dairy — DunLash supplies thermal container liners and pallet covers that help maintain cargo temperature during transport and storage.
