Lashing Capacity Vs Break Force: What's the Difference?

Lashing Capacity and Break Force are both important when securing loads, but they measure different aspects of the strength of lashing materials (like straps, ropes, or chains).

: This is the maximum load or force a lashing system (e.g., a strap or rope) is rated to hold safely without risk of failure. It's the amount of weight you can tie down or secure without damaging the lashing equipment or causing it to break.

: This refers to the ultimate strength of the lashing material, or the point at which the lashing will break or snap when exposed to too much force.

In other words, lashing capacity ensures safety, while break force shows the material's ultimate strength.
