Threading webbing – How to do it safely and correctly
Whether transporting goods , securing motorcycles , or securing loads on pallets , webbing is an indispensable toolfor securing loads . However, many users face a simple yet crucial question: How do you correctly thread webbing into the buckle? Threading errors can jeopardize the safety of the entire load . In this article, we'll explain step by step how to thread webbing , what to look out for, and the role of the webbing buckle .
What is a webbing?
A webbing strap is a flat, usually woven band made of polyester or polypropylene that is used in load securing to lash and secure objects. It is available in various widths, lengths, and strength classes and forms the basis of many tensioning strap systems .
Advantages of a webbing:
High tensile strength
Weatherproof
Flexible and space-saving
Reusable
The strap for securing loads is usually combined with a ratchet or a clamp or buckle – and this is where the crucial step begins: threading it correctly .
Why is correct threading important?
An incorrectly threaded webbing can slip out during tensioning or lose its holding power . This poses an acute risk of accidents , especially during dynamic driving movements (braking, cornering). Therefore, it is important to thread the webbing correctly into the buckle – this is the only way to achieve the necessary friction and clamping effect .

Here you will learn how to thread a webbing strap , especially with a typical webbing buckle with a clamp lock:
1. Prepare the webbing
Make sure the end of the ribbon is straight and not frayed.
If necessary, cut the tape slightly diagonally to make insertion easier.
2. Lift the clamping lever
Push the buckle lever up to open the lock.
This creates an opening in the clamping mechanism.
3. Thread the webbing
Thread the loose end of the strap through the buckle opening from bottom to top so that it comes out on the opposite side.
Pull the band through until you have enough length to tighten it.
4. Tighten and check
Tighten the strap firmly by hand.
Release the clamping lever – the lock now clamps the strap securely.
Test whether the band is secure by pulling gently.
Tip : For longer transport distances, use straps with a ratchet – these allow for a higher pre-tensioning force.
Typical threading mistakes – and how to avoid them
Strap inserted twisted : The strap must be guided smoothly through the buckle without any creases.
Wrong direction : Always make sure that you thread the webbing from the correct side.
Damaged buckle or strap : Cracks, rust, or frayed edges reduce safety. Check regularly!
Threading a webbing buckle – what types are there?
Depending on the application , different types of buckles are used:
Cam Buckle : For light to medium loads, easy to operate by hand.
Ratchet : For high clamping forces, with mechanical lever.
Threading the strap differs slightly depending on the type – but the basic principle remains the same: insert the strap from below, pull it through, and clamp it .
Conclusion: Thread the strap and buckle
Threading the strap correctly is the first and most important step for secure load securing. Threading the strap correctly into the buckle or strap lock lays the foundation for reliable securing – whether for private relocation or professional freight transport .
Avoid common mistakes, choose suitable materials and check your equipment regularly – then nothing will stand in the way of a safe ride.
