Sensors to prevent lorry accidents: BPW receives an important award for load securement
The iF DESIGN AWARD 2019 was awarded to the BPW iGurt in the ‘Professional Concept’ discipline’s ‘Safety’ category: the iGurt is a handy information system that can be attached to a lorry’s lashing straps in just a few simple steps and monitors their preload during lashing and driving. This gives the driver an overview of the tensile force being exerted on the lashing strap while lashing. This makes it possible to permanently monitor and seamlessly document that the cargo has been secured correctly; it also reliably prevents damage to sensitive cargo caused by lashing the straps too tight.
