Ratchet Straps
Ratchet Straps Supplier
Simark Engineering supplies a comprehensive range of ratchet straps and load restraint equipment designed for safely and securely restraining loads during transport. From general-purpose tie down straps to heavy duty ratchet straps for commercial vehicles, haulage and industrial applications, our range provides reliable solutions for professional load securing.
Manufactured using durable webbing and robust ratchet mechanisms, our ratchet straps allow high levels of tension to be applied quickly and securely, helping prevent cargo from shifting or becoming unstable while in transit.
Whether you operate HGVs, vans, trailers, recovery vehicles or specialist transport equipment, Simark can help you select the right ratchet strap and load restraint system for your application.
Heavy Duty Ratchet Straps for Load Restraint
When transporting equipment, pallets, machinery or other heavy loads, choosing the correct restraint equipment is essential.
Our heavy duty ratchet straps combine high-strength webbing with reliable tensioning mechanisms to provide secure and adjustable load restraint. Ratchet straps can be used across a wide variety of transport and industrial applications and are available in different configurations to suit the load, vehicle and anchorage system.
The ratchet mechanism makes it possible to progressively tension the webbing around or across the load, providing considerably greater control than simply tying a load in position.
Simark can supply ratchet strap solutions suitable for both everyday commercial use and demanding heavy-duty applications.
Ratchet Straps for Transport, Haulage and Commercial Vehicles
Ratchet straps are widely used throughout the UK transport and logistics industries as an effective method of securing cargo.
Typical applications include:
- HGV and commercial vehicle load restraint
- Flatbed trucks and trailers
- Curtain-sided vehicles
- Vans and light commercial vehicles
- Palletised goods and freight
- Machinery and plant transport
- Vehicle transportation and recovery
- Construction and industrial equipment
- General cargo and logistics
Correctly selected and used load restraint straps help minimise movement during acceleration, braking and cornering, protecting the load, vehicle and other road users.
Ratchet Straps, Webbing and Fittings
A load restraint system is only as effective as the components used within it. Simark Engineering supplies more than just complete ratchet straps, with a wide selection of webbing, ratchet buckles and strap fittings available for different applications.
Our range includes solutions for customers requiring different strap widths, lengths, end fittings and load restraint configurations.
This makes Simark an ideal supplier for transport operators, bodybuilders, fleet engineers and industrial customers looking for individual components as well as complete load restraint solutions.
Choosing the Right Ratchet Strap
Not every ratchet strap is suitable for every load.
When selecting a strap, important considerations include the weight and type of load, the required lashing capacity, strap width and length, the type of vehicle and the available anchorage points.
You should also consider the type of end fitting required and how the load will be restrained.
For professional transport applications, always check the information provided on the strap label and ensure the equipment is appropriate for the intended load restraint method.
If you're uncertain which ratchet strap you require, the Simark Engineering team can help you identify a suitable product for your application.
Ratchet Strap Safety and BS EN 12195-2
Ratchet straps used for road transport should be correctly rated, labelled and suitable for the load being restrained.
BS EN 12195-2 covers web lashings made from man-made fibres used for load restraint on road vehicles. Strap labelling provides important information including the Lashing Capacity (LC) and Standard Tension Force (STF), which are important when determining how a strap should be used.
Ratchet straps should also be regularly inspected. Webbing that has become badly cut, damaged or excessively worn should not continue to be used for load restraint.
Particular care should be taken around sharp or abrasive edges, where appropriate protection can help prevent damage to the webbing.
