Product Information

Full details

These SecureFix Direct Ratchet Tie Down Straps are designed for professionals and individuals needing to secure heavy loads during transportation, leisure activities, or commercial use. Their primary benefit is providing a robust and reliable method for preventing load shift, ensuring safety and compliance. A potential caveat to consider is that the 75mm width and 10-ton capacity may be more robust than required for lighter tasks. Key features include a 75mm width, 8-meter length, 10-ton minimum breaking load, and adherence to international safety standards.

FAQs

What is the difference between Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) and Working Load Limit (WLL)?

The Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) is the minimum force at which the strap is expected to break. The Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum load the strap should carry in use, calculated by dividing the MBL by a safety factor (typically 2:1 or 3:1). For these straps with a 2:1 safety factor, the WLL is 5 Ton (5,000 KGS).

Can these straps be used for lifting loads?

No, these ratchet tie-down straps are designed for securing loads (lashing), not for lifting. Using them for lifting is dangerous and can lead to equipment failure and accidents.

How should I store the straps when not in use?

Store the straps loosely coiled in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and sharp objects. Avoid storing them under heavy items or in a way that could kink or damage the webbing.

What does the EN12195-2 standard signify?

EN12195-2 is a European standard specifically for 'Load restraint assemblies on road vehicles - Safety'. It ensures the straps meet specific safety, material, and performance requirements for cargo securing.

Are different lengths or capacities available?

Yes, tailored lengths, special requirements, and different quantities are often available upon request. Spare parts are also typically kept in stock.

Can I use these straps in saltwater environments?

While the polyester webbing offers good resistance, prolonged exposure to saltwater is not recommended. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after exposure and dry completely. Consider specialized straps for constant marine use.

What is the benefit of the 75mm width?

The 75mm width distributes the tension over a larger surface area compared to narrower straps. This reduces the risk of damaging the load being secured and allows for higher load capacities.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the webbing is not twisted or caught within the ratchet mechanism. Clean any dirt or debris from the mechanism. A light application of lubricant may help, but ensure it does not contaminate the webbing.

Strap does not hold tension.

Check that the webbing is correctly threaded through the ratchet spool. Ensure the ratchet pawl is engaging properly with the gear. Inspect the webbing for damage that might cause slippage.

Hooks do not securely attach to anchor points.

Verify that the anchor points are suitable for the claw hook design. Ensure the anchor points are clean and free of obstructions. If necessary, use alternative attachment methods compatible with the strap's end fittings.

Webbing shows signs of wear or fraying.

Immediately discontinue use of the strap. Frayed or cut webbing significantly reduces the strap's strength and poses a safety risk. Replace the damaged strap with a new one.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High breaking load capacity (10 Ton) suitable for heavy-duty applications.
  • Durable 100% Polyester webbing for longevity.
  • Quick-release mechanism for efficient operation.
  • Manufactured to recognized international safety standards.
  • Versatile for transport, leisure, and commercial use.

Cons

  • May be oversized for very light loads.
  • Requires understanding of proper ratchet tensioning to avoid over-tightening.
  • Claw hooks might not fit all anchor point types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Attach Hooks: Securely fasten the claw hooks to appropriate anchor points on the load and the vehicle or trailer.
  2. Thread Webbing: Pass the free end of the webbing through the ratchet mechanism, ensuring it is correctly seated.
  3. Tension Strap: Operate the ratchet handle back and forth to tighten the webbing. Continue until the desired tension is achieved. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the webbing or the load.
  4. Secure Handle: Ensure the ratchet handle is in its lowest position after tensioning.

Compatibility:

These straps are compatible with most standard anchor points found on trucks, trailers, and shipping containers. The claw hooks are designed for robust connection. Ensure your anchor points are rated to handle the load being secured.

Care:

  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect the webbing for cuts, abrasions, or chemical damage, and check the ratchet mechanism and hooks for deformation or corrosion.
  • Cleaning: Clean the straps with cool water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the polyester webbing.
  • Storage: Store the straps in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects when not in use. Ensure they are not kinked or twisted.
