FAQs
What is the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of these straps?
The Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) for these straps is 5 tons (5000 KGS).
What material is the webbing made from?
The webbing is made from 100% polyester, which offers good resistance to stretching, UV light, and common chemicals.
Are these straps compliant with safety standards?
Yes, these ratchet straps are manufactured to meet EN12195-2, DIN60060, and AS/NZS4380 standards.
What does a 2:1 safety factor mean?
A 2:1 safety factor means the strap is designed to withstand twice its rated working load before breaking. For a strap with an MBL of 5 tons, this means it should not fail under loads up to 2.5 tons in normal use.
How do I properly tension the strap?
After attaching the hooks and threading the webbing, operate the ratchet handle up and down. Each stroke tightens the strap. Continue until the desired tension is achieved and the ratchet mechanism is locked.
Can these straps be used for lifting loads?
No, these ratchet straps are designed for lashing and securing loads during transport or storage only. They are not suitable for lifting applications.
What is the length and width of the strap?
The strap is 4 meters in length and 50mm (approximately 2 inches) in width.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for dirt, debris, or corrosion in the ratchet mechanism. Clean thoroughly and apply a small amount of lubricant if needed. Ensure the webbing is not jammed.
Strap slips or does not hold tension.
Verify that the ratchet is fully engaged and locked. Ensure the webbing is correctly threaded through the mechanism and is not twisted. Check for any damage to the webbing or ratchet teeth.
Claw hooks do not attach securely.
Ensure the anchor points are suitable for the hook type and size. Inspect the hooks for damage or deformation. Make sure the hook is properly seated on the anchor point before tensioning.
Webbing shows signs of wear or fraying.
Immediately discontinue use of the strap if any fraying, cuts, or significant wear are observed. Replace the damaged strap to ensure safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the anchor points on your vehicle or load are strong enough to handle the tension.
- Thread the webbing through the ratchet mechanism.
- Attach the claw hooks to secure anchor points.

Compatibility:
These straps are compatible with any secure anchor points that can accommodate the claw hooks. They are suitable for use with trucks, vans, trailers, roof racks, and flatbed vehicles. Ensure the total load weight does not exceed the strap's rated capacity.
Care:
- Inspect straps for any signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or damage before each use.
- Clean the webbing with water and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure the ratchet mechanism is free of dirt and debris. Lubricate if necessary, but avoid over-lubrication.
- Store straps in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
