Ratchet strap FAQs
What is the law on ratchet straps?
The law on ratchet straps in the UK states that they must be strong enough to support the loads they are carrying. All ratchet straps should also be fully tested, labelled and compliant with the current European standard, EN 12195-2: 2001.
You can check the strength of a ratchet strap and how it can be used by simply referring to the label. These labels should be attached to the webbing of the strap, but it’s often worth taking a picture of the label in the event that the label fades or is damaged.
What should you not do with a ratchet strap?
According to the latest Government guidance, when securing loads in a goods vehicle with ratchet straps, the user should avoid using a combination of both ratchet straps and chains, especially when using straps and chains in the same lashing.
Do ratchet straps need to be inspected?
Before using the ratchet strap, you should inspect all aspects, such as the attachment points, to make sure it’s in good condition and suitable for the type of load you want to secure.
You should also inspect the straps after using them to help identify any damage as soon as possible. Signs of damage can include tears, fraying, cuts, and holes, as well as more ‘minor’ damage such as worn stitching or buckle corrosion.
If you’re concerned about the condition of your ratchet straps, regardless of the extent of the wear or damage, we recommend replacing them.
How long do ratchet straps last?
Typically, ratchet strap manufacturers recommend replacing these straps every two to four years. However, ratchet straps that have endured more usage and exposure to the elements will often need to be replaced sooner.
Can ratchet straps be left outside?
Most ratchet strap manufacturers advise storing these products in a covered, dry place, away from the elements – including rain, snow, and UV rays – which can all have a negative impact on the integrity of the straps.
