Buying tie-down straps. Buying the right tie-down strap isn't easy. There are many different types, sizes, and colors. Not all tie-down straps are the same. You can choose between tie-down straps made of different materials, such as stainless steel or Velcro. It all depends on what's needed. But why is it a good idea to buy tie-down straps, and what should you pay attention to when ordering one?
Generally, a lashing strap is used to secure a load in a van or trailer, for example. Lashing straps can be used for many different applications, but securing loads is the primary purpose. These straps are therefore often found in logistics, but also in construction. Lashing straps fall under the category of "load securing." Therefore, it's important to order the right lashing strap. Therefore, it's good to know how to use them.
When transporting a load, it's legally required to secure it. Simply securing it with a net is often insufficient. Lashing straps can better secure the items and ensure safe transport. A lashing strap can also be used to keep items like decorations or tents in place. Especially when transporting items, lashing straps must be used correctly.
This can be done by placing the webbing in place and then positioning the ratchet. By wrapping the webbing around the load, it can no longer shift. The webbing can then be threaded through the webbing slot. The ratchet can then be used to tighten the webbing. It's important to tighten the webbing by depressing the ratchet. Loosening a webbing is done in a similar fashion: first, unlock the ratchet and pull the locking plate upward. Then, turn the ratchet. This allows the webbing to be loosened again.
When purchasing tie-down straps, you've probably already noticed our wide range of straps, including automatic tie-down straps and tie-down straps designed for car transport. If you need a large quantity of tie-down straps at once, you can also buy them in rolls. We offer various sizes, such as 10 or even 50 mm rolls. For added security, you can also choose tie-down straps with a stainless steel clamp. This prevents the clamp from being damaged by rain. Stainless steel prevents the clamp from rusting.
There are various types of closures available for tie-down straps. For example, a tie-down strap can be secured with a clamp. A ratchet is also very suitable for properly closing the strap. Sets are also available, consisting of a tie-down strap and a buckle. Hook-and-loop straps can also be considered tie-down straps.
What if you have enough tie-down straps at home, but the ratchets break? That's no problem, because they're also available separately. This eliminates the need to buy a complete tie-down strap with ratchet. Good for your wallet and the environment. Alternatively, you can secure items with tie-down rubbers. These are available in gauges from 4 to 8 millimeters. They can also be used with a (galvanized) snap hook.
They're available in various colors and with or without S-hook. This means there's plenty of choice when it comes to straps. This way, you never have an excuse for not securing your load properly.
