Cargo Lashing

Ratchet tie downs, also known as ratchet lashing belts, are essential tools for securing cargo during transportation. They are widely used in logistics, industrial transport, and cargo handling, helping reduce load movement and improve overall safety. Structure and Main Components A standard ratchet tie down is composed of three main parts: polyester webbing, a ratchet tensioning mechanism, and end fittings. The polyester webbing is made from high-tenacity polyester yarn, offering low elongation, good abrasion resistance, and stable performance during long-distance transport.The ratchet mechanism, typically manufactured from carbon steel or alloy steel with a zinc-plated or galvanized finish, allows controlled tightening and secure load holding.End fittings such as double J hooks, flat hooks, or snap hooks are selected based on different anchoring requirements. Key Specifications When selecting a ratchet tie down, understanding load ratings is critical.Lashing Capacity (LC) indicates the maximum load that can be safely secured during normal use.Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) refers to the force at which the product fails during laboratory testing. In many cases, the breaking load is approximately twice the lashing capacity, depending on applicable standards. Webbing width and length can be selected or customized according to cargo size and application conditions. Applications Ratchet tie downs are commonly used for truck and trailer transport, container lashing, machinery securing, and general cargo fixing. Selecting the correct specification helps ensure safe operation and improves transport efficiency. Conclusion Ratchet tie downs provide a reliable and efficient solution for cargo securing. Understanding their structure, specifications, and applications helps users choose the right product and enhance transport safety.   For more information about ratchet tie downs or customized solutions, please feel free to contact us.
