Lashing Strap

Tie-Down straps in the lightweight category are designed for securing lighter loads. These straps usually have a working load capacity of 100 lbs (50kg) and a maximum breaking strength of 220 lbs (100kg). It's important to note that the buckle is designed to slip before the webbing breaks, ensuring added safety. These straps utilize spring-loaded metal buckles that effectively wedge the webbing, preventing any slippage during transportation.

These straps consist of a webbing material such as polyester or nylon, which is attached or woven into a ratchet buckle. This type of strap can be tightened or loosened accordingly with the help of the buckle. The strap is wrapped tightly around the load first and then tightened further with the help of the ratchet buckle. This fixes the load in one place and prevents it from shifting during the journey.

Ratchet straps are popularly used to fasten large and heavy loads like furniture or electrical appliances. Ratchet buckles have the most secure grip among all logistic strap types and have a break limit of 15000 lb and a working load limit of 5000lb.

They resemble a ratchet straps as they are made from the same synthetic polyester or nylon fibers. But unlike ratchet straps, they are not attached to a cam buckle. Cam buckles have a lever that is released to slide the strap through the fastener bottom and make the strap suitably wrapped tightly around the load. The length of the strap is altered by pushing the lever to pull the strap. These straps are available in ranges of 1-inch to 4-inch widths. They are less secure than ratchet straps and are easier to tighten or loosen than ratchet straps. Cam buckle straps possess a breaking strength of 1500lb and a 500lb working load limit.
