Ratchet Straps / Tie Downs
Ratchet straps and tie-downs secure cargo on vehicles, trailers and pallets during transport, combining webbing, a ratchet tensioner and end fittings. Unlike the webbing and round slings beside them, they are restraint products, not lifting slings: a lashing capacity is not a lifting WLL, and they are not fall-protection gear. Selection is based on documented lashing capacity, strap width and length, and end-fitting type (hooks, rings).

About this category
Ratchet straps and tie-downs are load restraint and cargo securement assemblies, not lifting slings. They combine webbing, a tensioning mechanism and compatible end fittings according to product design, and are applied in securing loads on transport pallets, vehicles and trailers during transit. Models vary in webbing strap width and length, strap material, tensioning method (various ratchet mechanisms) and end fittings (hooks, rings, anchor points). Documented restraint ratings vary by model and are defined in the manufacturer's documentation. A strict distinction must be maintained between Lashing Capacity (restraint rating) and WLL (lifting working load limit): a restraint rating applies to securing a load during transport and does not qualify the assembly to suspend loads in lifting operations. Similarly, Breaking Strength is distinct from working operating capacity, and one cannot be inferred from the other. Ratchet straps and tie downs are classified for load restraint and cargo securement rather than suspended-load lifting, and any separately engineered product is evaluated according to its documented rating and intended use. Ratchet straps are also not fall-protection equipment. Webbing, round, chain and wire rope lifting slings, work-positioning and fall-protection equipment are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select ratchet strap models based on documented restraint capacity, load characteristics and required end fittings.
