1.1 How it works
The iGurt is an easy-to-use electronic lashing strap monitoring system which is intended to be used as a support
system for checking load security. The device is fitted on a lashing strap, measuring its tensioning force. The ten-
sioning force of the strap when lashed is shown directly on the device on an LED display. Furthermore, the iGurt
uses Bluetooth to communicate with its corresponding app, which can be used to carry out other functions. In this
way, the tensioning forces can also be monitored during the journey. Every iGurt in range is displayed in the app
along with their current tensioning force and a summary view of the information. The app is also equipped with an
alarm which is triggered if the tensioning force of a lashing strap falls below a critical level during transport, which
could mean that the lashing strap has slipped out of place, loosened or broken. In such a case, the journey must be
paused as quickly as possible and the load's security must be checked and ensured.
1.2 System components
iGurt
• The force display is located on the top of the iGurt.
It is made up of seven LEDs and a daN scale so
that a reading of the tensioning force can be taken.
• An identification number (ID), which serves as a
unique identifier for the device, can also be found
on the top of the iGurt. The last two numbers of
the ID are displayed again, separately and more
prominently. In the app, both of these numbers are
also clearly visible on the tile for each respective
iGurt. In this way, the devices can be quickly be
associated with their corresponding figures in the
app.
• The locking system is on the right-hand side, comprising of a locking spring and locking bolts which can be
used to lift up the iGurt so that the device can be mounted on the lashing strap or the battery compartment can
be opened.
• Three AAA batteries are inserted into the device. The battery compartment can only be opened when the iGurt is
in its folded-out state.
iGurt-compatible lashing strap
The iGurt is used in combination with a corresponding lashing
strap which has been designed specifically for use with the iGurt.
This can be obtained from BPW. The iGurt sits on the belt clip
underneath the ratchet buckle and usually stays mounted there
for the entire life cycle of the lashing strap. When the lashing strap
is replaced, the iGurt can be dismounted and put onto the new
lashing strap. The tensioning force sensor may be distorted when
used with lashing straps that are not compatible.
BPW therefore assumes no liability for other lashing straps which are not compatible with the iGurt.
iGurt app
The app is available in the Google Play Store under "BPW iGurt - the intelligent load securing system". If you do not
have access to the Play Store, the APK (App installation file) is also available at www.iGurt.de.
Important: When you install the app, please ensure that any previous versions of the iGurt app have been
deleted from the end device. Otherwise, it may not be possible to install the app.
Download the app from the Google Play Store and install it on your smartphone. The app is intuitive and straightfor-
ward to use. The basic app is free of charge. Its usage will be explained in chapter 7. Furthermore, it is also possi-
ble to install the app as an APK. This is available at iGurt.de.
