Abstract: A safety netting assembly for a gangplank; the gangplank being deployable between a vessel and a quay; the assembly includes stanchions pivotally connected with railings at an upper end and pivotally interconnected with a beam structure of the gangplank at a lower end; the railings being movable between a stowed position in which the railings are located adjacent to a surface of the gangplank, and a deployed position in which the railings are located at a distance vertically above the gangplank surface, and safety netting.

Abstract: A base for a securing assembly having a lower end that secures objects to a structure, the base including, a base frame having a joining wall and at least two sidewalls extending from the joining wall to an opening for receiving the lower end in a cavity: a base pin extending between the sidewalls for attaching the base to the structure: an arm movable between an open position, wherein the arm is positioned such that the lower end is movable through the opening, and a securing position, wherein the arm inhibits movement of the lower end from the cavity.

Abstract: A container lifting and weighing assembly for determining a weight of a container, the assembly having: a frame for supporting a container, the frame being connectable to a support surface to transfer a weight of the container from the container to the support surface; a lifting structure locatable between the container and the support surface, the lifting structure having one or more movable actuators and a load sensor, the lifting structure being movable between: a rest position, wherein the load path from the container to the support surface does not traverse the lifting structure; and a weighing position, wherein the lifting structure lifts the container such that the load path from the container to the support surface traverses the lifting structure, wherein, in the weighing position, the load sensor is adapted to provide a load sensor signal indicative of the weight of the container.

Abstract: A securing assembly is adapted to secure objects to a structure. The assembly includes an attachment mechanism adapted to attach the assembly to an object in use. An elongate rod has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connectable to the attachment mechanism and the second end is connectable to an adjustment device. A base is adapted to connect the adjustment device to the structure in use. The adjustment device is operable to adjust a tension between the object and the structure by way of the assembly to secure the object to the structure in use.

Abstract: A method for supporting and weighing a shipping container, the method including the steps of: providing a shipping container having a corner casting (20); providing a twistlock (30); locating the shipping container such that the twistlock (30) is engaged with the corner casting (20); locating a lifting device (2) inside the corner casting (20), the lifting device (1) having a pair of jaws (3, 4) and an actuator (5); moving the pair of jaws (3, 4) apart using the actuator (5) from a first position to a second position to lift the shipping container relative to the twistlock (30), wherein in the second position the jaws (3, 4) support at least a portion of the weight of the shipping container, and wherein the shipping container remains substantially engaged with the twistlock (30) in the second position; locating a weighing device (10) between the shipping container and the twistlock (30); and moving the pair of jaws (3, 4) from the second position to the first position to apply a force to the weighing de

Abstract: A securing assembly (1) adapted to secure objects (2) to a structure (3). The assembly (1) includes attachment means (5) adapted to attach said assembly to an object in use. An elongate rod (6) having a first end (6a) and a second end (6b). The first end connectable to the attachment means. The second end connectable to an adjustment means (5). A base (12) is adapted to connect said adjustment means to said structure in use. Whereby said adjustment means is operable to adjust a tension between said object and said structure by way of said assembly to secure said object to said structure in use.

Abstract: A locking assembly (1) having a base (2); a pair of arms (4) extending longitudinally away from the base in opposing directions. Each arm has a proximal end engageable with the base and a distal end remote the base. The distal end of the arm has a as locking means (10) movable relative to the base and adapted to engage a recess (20) of an object (22) to lock the object to the assembly.
