The concept of lashing can mean keeping two or more materials together and fixing them after they are loaded into vehicles. During the transfer of goods, they must be tied so that they do not move or get damaged. Lashing column service used in sea, air or road transport is preferred in domestic or international transport operations. It prevents loads caused by external factors from moving and causing danger.
