Ratchet Straps

Ratchet straps, also known as tie-down straps, are used to secure cargo during transport. They prevent goods from shifting or toppling, which reduces the risk of damage and hazardous situations. For every application, there is a suitable strap, depending on the weight, size, and type of cargo. Thanks to various widths, ratchets, and fittings, ratchet straps are widely used in logistics, transportation, construction, and industry.

Ratchet Straps

Two-part ratchet strap

A two-part ratchet strap consists of two sections: a ratchet part with a hook and a loose strap with a hook. This combination allows the strap to be tightened and securely fastened. One major advantage is the flexibility in use and the higher tensioning strength. Two-part ratchet straps are commonly used for heavy loads and professional transport applications.

One-piece ratchet strap

One-piece ratchet straps, also known as endless straps, are made of a single piece of webbing with a buckle or ratchet attached. They are easy to use and particularly suitable for bundling or securing items on a fixed surface. As there are no separate components, the risk of incorrect use is minimized. These straps typically have a lower breaking strength, making them ideal for lighter duties or indoor use.

Cam buckle strap

A cam buckle strap is equipped with a manual buckle rather than a ratchet. It is tightened by hand and is ideal for lighter applications such as securing luggage or small transport containers. The advantages of a cam buckle strap are its light weight and quick usability. For heavier loads, a ratchet is necessary, as a cam buckle cannot generate enough tension.

Understanding the strap label

The label on a ratchet strap provides all essential specifications, including LC (Load Capacity), material, manufacturing date, manufacturer, length, and the European standard EN 12195-2. The color of the label indicates the material type. Part of the label is stitched into the strap, ensuring the information remains available even if the external part is removed. This label is crucial for safe usage.

Custom-made ratchet straps

In addition to its standard range, Navacqs also supplies custom-made ratchet straps. You can choose the length, hook type, strap width, ratchet or buckle, and even add your logo or company name.
