Strang System

What is the Strang System?

The Strang System is a safe and efficient method for securing heavy cargo such as steel products for intermodal transport in overseas shipping containers using a revolutionary system incorporating Expanded Poly Styrene (EPS). It is a new technology patented in many countries around the world, including Japan.

Applicable cargo

Steel coil, plate, elongated steel, steel wire, and some machinery

Benefits

Highly efficient

High container loading ratio
Applicable with a large number of materials as it can take a unit weight of up to 15 tons
Significantly reduce the time required for vanning (Approx. 10 - 15 min. /container)
Heat and fumigation treatment are not required
EPS is extremely lightweight, meaning more cargo can be loaded

Safe

With its special properties, absorbs shock and acceleration induced during transport
Has a high static compression resistance for a heavy hold force
No lashing failure as there is no lashing at all
Reduced cargo displacement due to EPS's high friction coefficient
Reduced condensation due to next to none moisture contents in a EPS block

Flexible

Applicable for products of various shapes, including steel coil, plate, elongated steel, steel wire, and some machinery
Applicable for a wide range of sizes and unit weights
