FAQ
How do I choose the correct strap size for my load?
Calculate the total weight of your load and select straps with a combined working load limit (WLL) that exceeds the load weight. For example, a 1000kg load needs at least 2 straps with 500kg WLL each. Always use a minimum of 2 straps per load. For loads over 2000kg, use 50mm wide straps with 1000kg WLL. Check local transport regulations for specific requirements.
What is the difference between breaking strength and working load limit?
Breaking strength (BS) is the force at which the strap will fail. Working load limit (WLL) is the maximum safe working load, typically set at one-third of the breaking strength (3:1 safety factor). Never exceed the WLL. For example, a strap with 1500kg BS has a WLL of 500kg. Always refer to the WLL when selecting straps for your load.
How do I properly tension the ratchet strap?
Attach both hooks to secure anchor points. Pull the loose webbing end to remove slack. Pump the ratchet handle up and down 3-5 times to tension the strap. Do not over-tension — the strap should be firm but not deforming the load. To release, pull the release lever and open the ratchet fully. Never stand in the line of the strap while tensioning in case of failure.
How do I maintain and store ratchet straps?
Clean straps with mild soap and water after use, especially if exposed to salt, chemicals, or road grime. Air dry completely before storage — never store wet straps as they may develop mold. Inspect webbing for cuts, abrasions, or chemical damage before each use. Store in a dry, UV-protected location. Replace any strap with visible damage or that has been overloaded. The ratchet mechanism should be lubricated periodically with light oil.
