CARGO LASHING EQUIPMENT JOHANNESBURG

DunLash Load Securing Solutions for Gauteng’s Industrial and Logistics Hub

Johannesburg: South Africa’s Inland Cargo Centre

Johannesburg and the greater Gauteng region is the economic engine of South Africa, generating the largest share of the country’s manufacturing output, industrial activity, and inland logistics volume. While Gauteng has no port, it is the origin and destination for a massive proportion of cargo that ultimately moves through Durban, Cape Town, and other South African ports.

Cargo originating in or transiting through Gauteng faces specific securing challenges:

• Long-distance road freight — the N3 corridor to Durban (approximately 570km), the N1 to Cape Town, and the N4 to Mozambique all carry heavy commercial traffic
• Variable road conditions — heavy braking, potholes, and vibration over extended distances require load securing systems that absorb shock and maintain tension
• Diverse industrial cargo — Gauteng’s manufacturing sector produces machinery, automotive components, steel, chemicals, FMCG, and construction materials that all require different securing approaches
• Mining sector logistics — equipment and materials moving between Gauteng and mining regions in Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, and the Free State
• Cross-border freight — cargo destined for Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique passes through Gauteng’s freight corridors

DunLash supplies Johannesburg and Gauteng’s logistics operators, manufacturers, mining companies, and freight carriers with cargo securing products that are independently tested and SGS certified.

Cargo Securing Products Available in Johannesburg

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. Standard and AAR-rated options are available for Gauteng’s manufacturing, automotive, mining, and distribution sectors.

Composite strapping is extensively used in Gauteng for unitising palletised goods, securing machinery for road freight, and replacing steel strapping in high-volume warehouse and manufacturing operations.

Woven Polyester Lashing

DunLash woven polyester lashing delivers SGS certified system breaking strengths from 2,850daN to 13,850daN in widths from 32mm to 50mm. Woven lashing is designed for heavy cargo moving from Gauteng’s industrial centres to ports and cross-border destinations.

Johannesburg’s steel producers, mining equipment suppliers, and heavy machinery manufacturers rely on woven polyester lashing for securing loads that will travel hundreds of kilometres before reaching port.

Dunnage Air Bags

DunLash dunnage air bags in sizes from 90×120cm to 90×225cm, AAR Level 0 through Level 2, with burst pressures up to 17psi. Essential for preventing cargo movement during the long road and rail journeys between Gauteng and South Africa’s ports.

Container Desiccants

Cargo packed in containers in Gauteng often travels through multiple climate zones before reaching port. DunLash container desiccants protect against moisture damage throughout the journey, from Gauteng’s dry inland climate through to the humid coastal conditions at Durban and Richards Bay.

Composite Polyester Strapping

For Gauteng’s high-volume manufacturing, automotive, and distribution operations, DunLash composite polyester strapping provides a safe, efficient, and corrosion-resistant alternative to steel strapping. Composite strapping is increasingly specified by Gauteng’s industrial customers for its improved operator safety and handling characteristics.
