Stevedore Improves Safety by Using Tec Container Lashing Cages
BA 185 lashing cage for Tahiti

Stevedoring company – JA Cowan & Fils in Tahiti, French Polynesia has purchased the BA-185T Modular Lashing Cage from Tec Container Asia Pacific. BA-185T Modular Lashing Cage is designed to increase stevedores’ safety, to ease the access to container twist-locks and, therefore, to improve the reliability of unloading operations of a container-vessel. It is consisted of two lashing cages: a 40-foot cage and a 20-foot cage which sits inside the 40-foot one.

 

The lashing cage has been transported through a flat rack and now it has arrived at Port Papeete, French Polynesia. This is the second container handling equipment that JA Cowan has bought from Tec Container after the semi-automatic overheight frame that was purchased last year.
