Abstract:
I. Product and its uses
Lashing Chain is used in Railways' open
type wagon to fasten the Stores/goods with the
wagon body firmly so that the goods do not
fall or throw out while the wagon is in motion.
It is made of Steel, Link, turn buckle, handle,
staple plate, shackle nut and hook. This is a
most important item for BR MBW, BWM and
BWL type wagons.
u, Market Potential
This item is required for repeated replacement
due to frequent uses, irregular handling
and for building of new wagons. The Railways
are the major transport media in the country.
As such, there is scope for establishment
of small scale units considering the increasing
demand of export market for Railway wagon
and local requirements of Railways.
