Product Focus: Ratchet Lashing Straps

mike products

SafetyLiftinGear's ratchet lashing straps are widely used by numerous transport companies in the UK and beyond. Rest assured that, if you're transporting a heavy load and you want to make sure it stays put, we can provide the perfect solution.

Why are ratchet straps so important?

Because failure to restrain the load(s) you're transporting can have grave consequences. We've seen many photos of heavy loads that came loose in transit because weren't properly restrained; this results in damaged goods and, worse still, road accidents. According to gov.uk, unrestrained objects falling from vehicles caused a total of 22,000 road impact incidents in Britain over the course of 2013.

Simply put, our ratchet lashing straps help to protect your cargo and minimise the likelihood of an accident while you're on the road. They're an extremely important safety consideration!

What ratchet straps do SafetyLiftinGear offer?

Our Load Restraint department is home to more than a dozen different ratchet lashing products, all of which are fully tested and certified before sale. Some of these products are supplied with claw hooks, rave hooks or chassis hooks; others are endless. All are made of high-strength polyester webbing, ensuring superb performance across the board.

It's important to always heed the MBS (Minimum Breaking Strength) of the ratchet straps you purchase - this figure represents the weight capacity of the strap, and should not be exceeded under any circumstances. The MBS of our ratchet lashing straps ranges from 500kg to 10 tonnes.

Do SafetyLiftinGear sell any accessories for my ratchet lashing straps?

Yes - we provide wear sleeves and corner protectors to help you protect your ratchet straps and extend their lifespan.

How do I use a SafetyLiftinGear ratchet strap?

Our ratchet lashing straps are very easy to use, as this video demonstrates:

Going on Holiday? Take a Garden Cart!

mike products

People find a lot of uses for our garden carts in the summertime. We've already told you how handy they are for music festivals and days at the beach, but have you ever considered how useful a garden utility cart could be when you and your family go on holiday?

The above photos were sent to us by a SafetyLiftinGear customer who purchased one of our garden dump carts in preparation for their family's summer holiday. As you can see, the cart was put to good use over the course of the trip, proving ideal not only for lugging around coats and bags but also for carrying the kids around during long walks in the sunshine!

Of course, summer will soon be over for another year, but we find that our garden carts come in handy no matter what time of year it is. Whether you're planning a week away, hitting the road for a family day out, or just planning to tidy up the garden in preparation for winter, SafetyLiftinGear's utility carts never cease to be tremendously useful - buy yours here!
