Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge of marine iron wire should I use for cargo lashing?
For general cargo lashing and seizing, diameters between 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm are most common. Heavier loads may require 4.0 mm or 5.0 mm. Consult your ship’s lashing manual or a marine engineer for specific requirements.
What is the difference between galvanized and black annealed iron wire?
Galvanized wire has a zinc coating for corrosion protection, making it ideal for exterior or humid areas. Black annealed wire is softer and more flexible, often used for binding and tying where corrosion resistance is less critical.
How is the wire packaged for marine transport?
Our wire coils are individually wrapped in waterproof paper and then plastic film to prevent moisture ingress. They are securely palletized and banded for safe handling and storage in marine environments.
Can I order custom coil weights or diameters?
Yes, we offer flexible options on coil weights and can source non-standard diameters on request. Minimum order quantities may apply. Contact our sales team for details.
