£15.99Heavy-Duty Ratchet Straps and Tie Down Straps
Our ratchet straps and tie down straps secure vehicles, machinery, building materials and other loads during transport. They're used on trailers, flatbeds, car transporters, vans and lorries, with adjustable ratchet tension and a choice of widths, lengths and end fittings.
All orders come with free next-day UK mainland delivery, or you can click and collect from our Rothwell, Leeds site.
Our Ratchet Straps
- 50mm ratchet straps with claw hooks: 2,500daN lashing capacity for lorries, flatbeds and plant transport, in standard and 10m lengths.
- 50mm ratchet strap kit with soft eye choker: 2,500daN, for anchoring around load points without metal-to-surface contact.
- 35mm ratchet straps with claw hooks: 1,000daN, for vans, light trailers and medium-duty loads.
- Soft loop tie-down with extra hook: for motorcycles, ATVs, quads and equipment with painted or delicate surfaces.
Choosing the Right Tie Down 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, shown in daN (1daN is roughly 1kg), and make sure the whole securing arrangement suits the load.
- Webbing length: choose enough length to reach approved lashing points without excess slack or poor routing.
- End fittings: claw hooks, soft loops and chokers 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 and Lorry Straps
Heavy-duty 50mm ratchet straps are the standard lorry strap for vehicles, plant, agricultural equipment and commercial cargo. Straps sold as 5 ton ratchet straps usually have a 5 tonne breaking strength and a lower lashing capacity, typically 2,500daN. Always choose by the lashing capacity on the label, because breaking strength, lashing capacity and the capacity of the full securing setup are not the same thing.
For chain tensioning on heavy plant, see our load binders. For underlift towing and recovery restraint, see our recovery truck straps.
Using Ratchet Straps Safely
Inspect before use for cuts, abrasion, damaged stitching, chemical contamination, heat damage, distorted fittings or an unreadable label. Don't 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.
