Revolutionising Cargo Securement: The Ancra Cargo Lok Bar
Safety and efficiency go hand in hand in the fast-moving world of cargo securement. They can either make or break operations at a moment’s notice. Every year, thousands of drivers, loaders, and warehouse workers sustain injuries when using traditional shoring bars. With their outdated forceful spring-loaded mechanisms, these tools carry an unnecessary risk for those who are keeping the supply chains moving.
Ancra Cargo saw the problems and risks these bars carry and realised that a change was required. As a result, we created a breakthrough solution: the Lok Bar. It’s smarter, safer, and stronger than its predecessor. This innovative shoring bar sets a standard for ergonomics, load security, and operator well-being.
The Problem with Traditional Shoring Bars
Fleets have previously relied on spring-loaded shoring bars to keep the precious cargo in place. They’re effective in restraining freight, but they’re also murder on the body to operate. These bars are known for causing a lot of strain on the muscles of drivers and loading crews just to wrestle them into position. This can lead to injuries, lost workdays, workflow interruptions, and costly workers’ compensation claims.
Any interruption to the job has a costly impact on uptime, which ends up being a boon for competitors, which makes this type of shoring bar a critical operational risk.
Revolutionising the Industry with the Ancra Cargo Lok Bar
The Lok Bar is Ancra’s answer to this long-standing issue of stress and risk. Designed with input from real operators, fleet managers, and safety experts, it combines robust construction with a patented ratcheting lever system that makes load restraint easier and safer than ever before.
Key Advantages of the Lok Bar
The Lok Bar features a patented ratchet lever mechanism that simplifies installation and locking. The adjustable trigger-level handle allows users to quickly secure the bar into the track with minimal effort, eliminating the need for excessive force. This innovation not only enhances safety but also saves valuable time during loading and unloading operations.
-
Ergonomic Ratcheting Handle – Comfort is key. This handle eliminates the need for brute force. The raised lever handle is easy to use even in cold, gloved conditions.
-
Lightweight but Strong – At just 6 kg, the Lok Bar is 3 kg lighter than traditional bars, without sacrificing durability. It’s easier to handle and puts less strain on the shoulders.
-
Flexible Fit – Designed with versatility in mind, it’s adjustable from 2270mm to 2670mm in 3mm increments and locks seamlessly into F-Series tracks.
-
Reliable Load Security – In the end, the Lok Bar gets the job done and keeps freight in place, preventing shifting, tipping, and cargo damage during transport.
The result of all these features compacted into a single tool is a shoring bar that not only improves driver safety but also reduces downtime, injury claims, and operating costs.
