This Ratchet Tie Down Strap is a 10 metre long, 50 mm wide polyester lashing strap with a mechanically actuated ratchet unit, designed to secure loads for transport and haulage. Its primary use is to restrain cargo on trailers, pickup beds, roof racks and palletised loads where a strong, adjustable and releasable tensioning system is required.

The strap webbing is made from low-stretch polyester, chosen for its excellent strength, low elongation under load and good resistance to abrasion and UV. The fitting and ratchet mechanism are manufactured from carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc finish and additional protective coating on contact points to reduce wear. The strap is nominally rated to 2500 kg (2.5 tonne) lashing capacity; users should refer to the label on the product for the declared Lashing Capacity (LC) and the corresponding Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) and Working Load Limit (WLL). The design and labelling follow the principles of EN 12195-2 (load restraint assemblies using web lashing), and are produced under Draper Tools Group quality controls.

The 50 mm width gives a broad contact surface that distributes pressure over the load and reduces the risk of webbing damage or load marking. The ratchet mechanism features an ergonomic lever for controlled tensioning and a safety catch to minimise accidental release. End fittings are compatible with common anchor types such as D-rings, lashing points and trailer rails; users should ensure fittings and anchors are rated appropriately for the application.

Typical industries and applications include general haulage and logistics, agricultural machinery transport, construction site deliveries, automotive recovery and workshop use where secure transport of machinery, timber, pallets and loose cargo is needed. Key benefits are the polyester webbing’s low stretch and UV resistance, the strap’s 2500 kg lashing rating for reliable restraint, and the zinc-coated steel fittings which offer enhanced corrosion resistance compared with untreated steel.

Duchy Fasteners stocks this strap in single units and multipacks, and carries a broader range of lengths and widths for different load types; please contact us or view our catalogue for available sizes, pack quantities and bespoke options.
