[Outline of ビンゴ 無料 COILPORTER®]

The ビンゴ 無料 COILPORTER® is the new cradle used to lash steel coils, an essential material for automobile manufacturing and other industries, to ensure safer containerized transport. Mitsui O.S.K. Kinkai, Ltd. (President: Kenichi Nagata; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which offers transport service for steel materials, Utoc Corporation (President: Masahiro Tanabe; Headquarters: Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture), and ビンゴ 無料 Logistics (Japan) Co., Ltd. (President: Shuhei Togo; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) shared customers' requests with the development team, and to creative approaches to address every detail during the development of the ビンゴ 無料 COILPORTER®.

The ビンゴ 無料 COILPORTER® trademark has been registered in major countries. And it is already patented in Japan (Patent No. 665025), with several other patents pending (Note 1).

Differences from the conventional lashing are as follows.

Conventional lashing

Assembly/Loading

  • About 1 hour by two skilled carpenters (measurement/cutting/carpentry).
  • Manually carry and construct with square timbers weighing from 150-200kg.
  • Special equipment is required to load into the inner depths of the container.

Disassembly/Unloading

  • Requires time-consuming dismantling work such as removal of nails from the lashing material.
  • Special equipment is required to unload the coils from deep inside the container.

Resiliency

  • Square timbers are in direct contact with coils, subjecting the cargo to risk of damage.

Environmental impact

  • Timbers are discarded after dismantled at the unloading operation.
