The 50mm Ratchet Tie-down Lashing Strap (EN 12195-2) is the industry standard for heavy-duty load securing on road transport, widely used by professional truckers, logistics companies, and industrial movers.
Features a standard 50mm (approx. 2 inches) width, providing a wide surface area to effectively distribute tension and securely restrain large commercial loads.
Constructed from high-tenacity Polyester (PES) webbing, offering exceptional durability, low stretch (less than 7% at LC), and excellent resistance to weather, abrasion, and chemicals.
Delivers a standard Lashing Capacity (LC) of up to 2,500 daN (2,500 kg) in a straight-pull, with alternative versions rated at 1,700 daN or 2,000 daN to suit varying requirements.
Engineered with a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) typically ranging from 4,000 kg to 5,000 kg (double the LC), ensuring strict compliance with EN 12195-2 safety standards.
Heavy-duty cargo lashing systems manufactured from high-tenacity 100% polyester webbing. Engineered for maximum security during road transport, shipping, and logistical moving.

Ergo Ratchet Series (Reverse Action)
The Ergo Advantage: [Image demonstrating the reverse action (pull down to tension) of an Ergo Ratchet buckle] Unlike standard ratchets, the Ergo system uses a "Pull Down" motion to tension the strap, which is more ergonomic and allows for significantly higher STF (Standard Tension Force) with less physical effort.

Q: What is the difference between LC and MBS? A:LC (Lashing Capacity) is the maximum force that the strap is designed to sustain in direct use. MBS (Minimum Breaking Strength) is the force at which the strap assembly is guaranteed to fail. Per EN 12195-2, the safety factor for the webbing assembly is 2:1.
Q: How do I know which end fitting to use? A:Double J Hooks are the most common for standard anchor points. Chassis Hooks are specifically for vehicle transport frames, and Snap Hooks provide a locked connection that won't fall off during positioning.
Ratchet Tie Down Straps
Standard: BS EN 12195-2 | Load Restraint Guide
Safety Guidelines
Always
Inspect ratchet tie downs before every use.
Calculate the required lashing force based on the restraint method.
Select the correct capacity and quantity of straps.
Ensure lashing points on vehicle/load are of adequate strength.
Position the strap so the load is spread uniformly over the width.
Protect webbing from sharp edges and small radii.
Ensure straps are correctly tensioned.
Exercise care when releasing tension (loads may have shifted).
Never
Never use ratchet tie downs for lifting.
Never knot or tie the webbing.
Never overload the strap beyond its marked capacity.
Never use over sharp edges without protective sleeves.
Never expose to direct heat, flames, or chemicals without consultation.
Never use straps with cuts, damaged stitching, or deformed fittings.
Selection & Usage Guide
Selecting the Correct Tie Down
The relevant standard is BS EN 12195-2: 2001. Straps are available for general purpose or specific applications (e.g., car transport).
Calculation: Forces should be calculated per BS EN 12195-1: 2010.
Lashing Capacity (LC): Marked in daN (decaNewton). Note: 1 daN ≈ 1 kg.
Anchor Points: Ensure vehicle points are strong enough; use more straps if necessary to spread the load.
Using Ratchets Safely
Ensure the tensioner (ratchet handle) is free to align and not bent over an edge. The webbing must not be twisted. Terminal fittings must engage correctly. Checking tension after traveling a short distance is recommended.
In-service Inspection & Storage
Damage Causes: Tensioning across sharp edges, uneven loading, heat burns, and chemical exposure (alkalis damage polyester). Clean only with clear water and dry naturally.
Rejection Criteria: Do not use if you find illegible markings, cut/chaffed webbing, broken stitching, heat/chemical damage, or deformed fittings. Recommendation: Have straps inspected by a competent person at least every 6 months.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry area, free from contaminants and shaded from direct sunlight.
