Meet the Innovation in Safety Award Entrants: KALP GMBH – AUTOMATIC LASHING PLATFORM

 

In the countdown to this year’s Innovation in Safety Award Ceremony we are sharing each of the entries that we received.  Whilst there can only be one winner of the award itself, the wide range of entries means that there are ideas that will appeal to different readers directly or may be the inspiration for your own next step change for safety.

We will introduce you all to all of the entries before the Award Ceremony on 23 February.

Today’s entry is:

KALP GMBH – AUTOMATIC LASHING PLATFORM

Even in the most modern container terminals, twistlocks and stackers are still removed from or inserted into container corners by hand. And this despite the fact that the manual lashing process has long been identified as one of the last major safety risks in terms of work safety.

The ALP (Automatic Lashing Platform) is the only system on the market that can insert and remove twistlocks and stackers fully automatically, eliminating the need for personnel to work nearby or under suspended loads. The ALP operates independently of external power supply through an internal hydraulic system that utilizes the weight of the container and spreader. It has magazines that store over 1,000 twistlocks or 2,000 stackers (depending on sizing). This is equivalent to a bay of a Triple-E Class container ship.

The ALP can also be monitored and operated from a safe distance by integrating it into the terminal’s own network and the corresponding integration software, or by using a handheld device.
