Ratchet Strap

Ratchet straps, also known as lashing straps, are used to secure cargo during transport. They prevent goods from shifting or toppling over, reducing the risk of damage and unsafe situations. For every application, there is a suitable ratchet strap depending on the weight, size and type of load. With different widths, ratchets and finishes, these straps are widely used across logistics, transport, construction and industrial sectors.

Different types of ratchet straps

Ratchet straps come in several versions, each with its own specific purpose. A 1-piece retaining strap (endless) consists of a single length of webbing with an integrated ratchet or buckle, ideal for bundling light loads. The 2-piece ratchet strap consists of a ratchet part and a separate strap part, both usually equipped with hooks, and is suitable for firmly securing heavier cargo. A retaining strap uses a clamp buckle instead of a ratchet, allowing for quick and easy fastening of lighter, non-critical loads. Finally, there is the self-winding retaining strap, which automatically retracts after use which ideal for frequent loading and unloading.

Understanding the ratchet strap label

Each ratchet strap features a label containing key specifications such as the LC value (Load Capacity), material, production date, manufacturer, length and compliance with the European standard EN 12195-2. The color of the label indicates the type of material used. Part of the label is woven into the stitching, ensuring the information remains visible even if the outer part is cut off. This label is crucial for safe and correct application.
