Stevedore strap

Stevedore straps are essentially additional straps that attach in some way to the standard polypropylene straps that are sewn into a FIBC. They are sold separately or with the bags themselves. There are several different types, but all are looped through the existing bag lifting loops to offer additional ways to lift the bag. The most common uses are for forklifts. These straps give easy access points for basic forklifts to slide into and move the bag throughout any facility, making them very popular in many warehouses where FIBCs are in use.

Stevedore straps are often referred to as ‘loading belts'.
