Ratchet Strap 10 T

You use a 10-tonne strap for heavy cargo with high forces during transport, such as large machinery, steel structures or heavy pallets.

It's not just about the weight, but also the forces during braking or swerving. The heavier the cargo, the greater these forces become.

For example: heavy machinery on a low-loader can push forward during an emergency stop. The strap needs to absorb that extra force without stretching or coming loose.

A wider strap spreads the force over a larger surface area of the cargo. This lowers the pressure per centimetre.

With a narrow strap, the same force lands on a smaller surface. This increases the risk of:

• cutting into cardboard, wood or plastic

• deforming edges

• the strap shifting during transport

For example: when securing a heavy pallet of boxes, a wide strap prevents the top boxes from denting or getting damaged.

A longer strap is needed when the cargo is larger, or when you want to use multiple attachment points.

This applies, for example, to:

• long cargo such as beams or pipes

• tall cargo that needs to be fully wrapped

• trailers with attachment points spaced further apart

With a strap that's too short, you can't fully wrap the cargo or reach the attachment points. A longer strap gives you room to position it correctly and build up enough tension.
