This guide is for anyone needing to secure loads, particularly those involving delicate items or requiring controlled tension. The key benefit is its ability to securely fasten webbing straps without the risk of overtightening, preventing damage to cargo. A caveat is that it requires compatible anchor points for effective use. These Over Centre Buckles offer a robust and easy-to-use solution for securing webbing straps, commonly found in the haulage and courier industries, but also useful for general cargo management.

Each Over Centre Buckle has a load capacity of 800KG.
The buckle is designed to accommodate webbing straps up to 50mm in width.
Tension is controlled by pulling the webbing strap taut and then flipping the centre lever downwards to lock it. This method secures the strap without applying excessive, damaging force.
Yes, they are zinc plated for durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
No, these are an alternative to ratchet straps. They are designed to secure webbing without the high tension that ratchet straps can apply.
The dimensions are: Length: 160MM, Width: 75MM, Height: 45MM.
You need to thread the webbing through the buckle, loop it back on itself, and secure it using a method like stitching or crimping to permanently fix it to the buckle.
Ensure the webbing strap is correctly threaded through the buckle and the lever is fully locked in the down position. Check that the strap is not damaged or worn, and that it is within the 50mm width limit.
Check for any debris or obstructions within the buckle mechanism. Clean the buckle thoroughly. Ensure the strap is not excessively tight before attempting to move the lever; release some tension by slightly loosening the strap if necessary.
The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, but some surface rust may appear over time, especially in humid conditions. Clean the buckle with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil if necessary for continued protection. Inspect for any structural weakening.
Setup: To set up, thread your webbing strap (up to 50mm wide) through the buckle. Loop the strap back on itself and secure it using a suitable method, such as stitching or crimping, ensuring the strap is firmly attached to the buckle. Feed the free end of the strap around or through your load and then back through the buckle. Pull the strap to achieve the desired tension, and then flip the centre lever downwards to lock it into place. To release, simply flip the lever upwards.
Compatibility: These buckles are designed for use with webbing straps up to 50mm in width. They are compatible with any vehicle or structure that has suitable anchor points for lashing straps. The 800KG capacity means they are suitable for a wide range of general cargo applications.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, periodically clean the buckles with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Inspect the buckle and strap for any signs of wear or damage before each use. The zinc plating offers inherent rust resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive environments may eventually affect its appearance.
