Ratchet Straps & Heavy-Duty Tie Down Straps
Our range of ratchet straps and tie down straps is for securing vehicles, machinery, building materials and other loads during transport. Available in a variety of lengths, webbing widths, end fittings and lashing capacities, they give adjustable tension for trailers, flatbeds, transporters and general commercial load securing.
Choosing the Right Ratchet Strap
The correct tie down strap depends on the load, vehicle, lashing points and restraint method, not payload weight alone.
- Lashing Capacity (LC): use the rated LC on the strap label and make sure the whole securing arrangement suits the load.
- Webbing length: enough length to reach approved lashing points without excess slack or poor routing.
- End fittings: hooks, chassis fittings and endless setups suit different arrangements, match the fitting to the lashing point.
- Load and surface: shape, friction, movement, sharp edges and force direction all affect the restraint plan.
5 Ton Ratchet Straps & Lorry Straps
Heavy-duty ratchet straps are commonly used for vehicles, plant, agricultural equipment and commercial cargo. Straps often sold as 5 ton ratchet straps must still be chosen by the actual ratings on the label, breaking strength, lashing capacity and the capacity of the full securing setup are not the same thing.
Lorry straps and other ratchet straps UK operators use on haulage, transporters and flatbeds should be matched to chain/webbing ratings, lashing points and the load being moved. For chain tensioning on heavy plant, see also our load binders.
Using Ratchet Straps Safely
Inspect before use for cuts, abrasion, damaged stitching, chemical contamination, heat damage, distorted fittings or an unreadable label. Do not use damaged straps, knot the webbing, or run it over sharp edges without protection. Attach hooks only to suitable lashing points.
How many straps you need depends on the load, method, friction, lashing angles and rated capacity. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable load-securing rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What strength ratchet strap do I need?
The correct ratchet strap depends on the load, the vehicle or trailer, the available lashing points and the securing method being used. Check the strap label for its stated Lashing Capacity (LC) and make sure the complete restraint system is suitable for the load. Do not select a strap based on payload weight alone.
What does LC mean on a ratchet strap?
LC stands for Lashing Capacity. It is the maximum force the strap is rated to withstand in a straight pull when used for load securing, subject to the manufacturer's instructions. The LC shown on the label should be used when planning a restraint system.
What is the difference between breaking strength and lashing capacity?
Breaking strength is the force at which a strap is expected to fail during testing, while Lashing Capacity (LC) is the rated value used for load securing. They are not the same figure, so always use the LC shown on the product label when selecting and using ratchet straps.
Can ratchet straps be used to secure vehicles on trailers?
Yes, suitable ratchet straps can be used as part of a vehicle restraint system on trailers and transporters. The straps, end fittings and lashing points must all be appropriately rated, and the securing method should account for vehicle weight, movement, lashing angles and the manufacturer's guidance.
When should a ratchet strap be replaced?
Replace a ratchet strap if the webbing is cut, heavily abraded, heat damaged, chemically contaminated or has damaged stitching, distorted fittings or an unreadable identification label. Straps should be inspected before use and removed from service if there is any doubt about their condition.
