Ratchet Straps & Heavy-Duty Tie Down Straps
Our range of ratchet straps and tie down straps is designed for securing vehicles, machinery, building materials and other loads during transport.
Available in a variety of lengths, webbing widths, end fittings and lashing capacities, ratchet straps provide adjustable tension for trailers, flatbeds, transporters and general commercial load-securing applications.
Choosing the Right Ratchet Strap
The correct tie down strap depends on the load, vehicle, lashing points and the method used to restrain the cargo. Strap selection should not be based on payload weight alone.
Important factors include:
- Lashing Capacity (LC): Check the rated lashing capacity shown on the strap label and ensure the complete securing arrangement is suitable for the load being transported.
- Webbing length: Choose enough strap length to reach the vehicle's approved lashing points without excessive loose webbing or unsuitable routing.
- End fittings: Hooks, chassis fittings and endless configurations suit different securing arrangements. The fitting must be compatible with the available lashing point and used as intended.
- Load and surface: Load shape, friction, movement, sharp edges and the direction of expected forces should all be considered when planning the restraint system.
Heavy-Duty Ratchet Straps for Transport
Heavy-duty ratchet straps are commonly used for securing vehicles, plant machinery, agricultural equipment, building materials and other commercial loads.
Products commonly described as 5 ton ratchet straps should still be selected according to the actual ratings shown on the product label. Breaking strength, lashing capacity and the capacity of the complete securing arrangement are not interchangeable terms.
Using Ratchet Straps Safely
Ratchet straps should be inspected before use for cuts, abrasion, damaged stitching, chemical contamination, heat damage, distorted fittings or an unreadable identification label.
Do not use damaged straps, knot the webbing or route it across sharp edges without suitable protection. Hooks and fittings should be attached only to appropriate lashing points.
The number of straps required depends on the load, securing method, friction, lashing angles and rated capacity of the equipment. Always follow the product manufacturer's instructions and applicable load-securing requirements.
Ratchet Straps for Trailers & Commercial Vehicles
Our range includes ratchet tie down straps suitable for trailer, transporter, flatbed and general haulage applications, with different lengths and capacities available to suit a variety of securing setups.
Whether you are securing vehicles, machinery or general cargo, select the strap according to its labelled rating and the requirements of the complete load-restraint system.

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.
