Selection & enquiry guidance

Choosing ratchet straps and load restraint for the application

Ratchet straps are selected for the restraint task, load, attachment points, required length and end-fitting arrangement. Lashing capacity and the complete restraint method matter; load-restraint straps should not be treated as lifting slings.

Load and restraint method

Describe the load and how it will be restrained during transport or handling.

Length and end fittings

Provide the required strap length, attachment points and preferred end connections.

Quantity and protection

Include quantity and whether edge protection or other restraint accessories are needed.

Common questions

Ratchet straps and load restraint enquiries

What information is needed for a ratchet strap quotation?

Send the required length, end fittings, lashing specification if known, quantity and delivery location. A photograph of an existing label can help with replacements.

Can ratchet straps be used as lifting slings?

Equipment supplied for load restraint must not be assumed suitable for lifting. Use lifting equipment specifically rated and configured for the lifting task.
