5 Tips to Choose the Ratchet Tie Down Straps

Ratchet straps are used in many industries, as well as tie downs for different types of cargo. When choosing ratchet tie down straps, you also need to consider the different modes of transportation. For example, cargos can be transported by truck, ship, air carrier, railway, and so on. In addition, sometimes cargo is exposed to high temperatures. This is why choosing the right ratchet tie down straps is important.

Choosing the Correct Ratchet Strap for your Application 

1. Determine the weight and size of the cargo you are securing 
2. Tie down strap needs a Working Load Limit (WLL) equal to or greater than that weight 
3. Choose the length you need. Ratchet tie down strap is too long means having to deal with loose ends, if it is too short simply won’t work. What you need is a strap that is long enough to offer versatility so you can use it in a number of tie-down applications.
4. Choose the hardware that will be best for your application (ratchet, hooks, etc) 
5. Width of the Strap
1inch/25mm ratchet tie down straps-----Bundling of goods on electric vehicles, motorcycles, tricycles
1.5inch/35mm---Bundling of goods on the car
2inch/50mm---Bundling of goods on the truck train container,pallets，bundling of small equipment
3inch/75mm---bundling of large equipment

Precautions

  1. Do not use the broken ratchet tie down straps
  2. Do not overweight use.
  3. Do not knot use
  4. Keep away from sharp edges and corners during use to avoid wear or cut
  5. Do not use lifting

When we use the ratchet strap , maybe we will meet the ratchet strap jammed. So we need to know why it jammed and how to release the jammed ratchet strap. How Ratchet Straps Jam and Get Stuck There are three reasons for ratchet straps jam or get stuck Not disengaging the ratchet all the way: The gear stays locked in place until you unlock it. Winding too much strap on the spool: This requires a little muscle and finesse to unjam. Needs a little lube: Happens with ratchet straps that don't work smoothly from being outside. How to solve these problems? 1) Ratchet Strap Isn't Fully Disengaged and Won't Release When the ratchet is fully closed it's locked into place and both pawls are engaged. When it is partially open both pawls are mostly engaged. You need to get the ratchet fully open in order for it to release. You do this by disengaging the two pawls. First, you need to squeeze the little handle to disengage the manual pawls.

What is the STF-Standard Tension Force? The abbreviation STF “Standard Tension Force” stands for the pre-tensioning force also called “Normal Tensioning Force”, which describes the force of the lashing strap. Put simply, with an STF value of 350 daN: you pull or push on a ratchet lever with exactly 50 daN (SHF) and can lift/move a weight of 350 kg with this force. The main reason for high pre-tensioning forces are the high-quality products, in this case, the ratchet and the lashing strap, which have been optimized for your application. The STF value to be achieved is defined by the European standardization: STF = min. 0.1 x LC and max. 0.5 x LC All products in our assortment of cargo safety are tested according to DIN EN 12195-2. STF – Standard Tension Force according to DIN EN 12195-2, always applies to a lashing belt system (ratchet, webbing and end fittings). The webbing, its length, composition, elongation, sewing and material thickness have a very large influence on the STF value
