Ratchet straps are great for securing loads during transportation. Their design combines a sturdy textile strap (usually made of polyester webbing) with a powerful ratcheting mechanism that applies and retains tension in the strap. This type of lashing strap is commonly used on trucks, vans and trailers to prevent cargo from moving around.

Our customers often ask us for advice on how to secure specific loads. We understand why – securing heavy loads can be complicated, especially if the load type and weight change several times per day.
Load bars (also known as shoring bars or cargo bars) are used to create a rigid mechanical divide within a box van to prevent the vehicle's load from moving around. They are typically used to secure heavy, wheeled loads such as supermarket roll cages and stillages containing liquids.
Polyester webbing has an amazing strength-to-weight ratio. For example, the break strength of 50mm lashing webbings can sometimes exceed 7.5 tonnes!
