Car lashing straps from Sandax - lashing straps for car transporters
Car and lorry lashing straps are specially designed for loading and securing cars and lorries. These transport straps are used on car transporters and car trailers as well as on lorry transporters. Vehicle transport belts are also known as tyre belts, as they have a so-called regulator with a pronounced profile that is pulled over the individual tyres. A car or truck transport belt is a special belt system that is used exclusively to secure vehicles on car or truck trailers or on large roll-on roll-off ships.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Tie-Down Straps
Below you will find important questions and answers about car tie-down straps, vehicle transport straps, wheel straps, and their use in professional vehicle transport and load securing.
What are car tie-down straps?
Car tie-down straps are specialized ratchet straps designed to secure vehicles during transport. They are primarily used on car transporters, car trailers, vehicle transport trucks, and roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ships. Unlike conventional lashing straps, they are specifically designed to secure vehicles by restraining their wheels or tires.
Why are car tie-down straps also called wheel straps?
Car tie-down straps are often referred to as wheel straps because they are positioned directly over the vehicle's tires. Many versions feature a tire grip, protective sleeve, or specially designed controller that fits over the tire. This helps distribute the securing force more evenly and keeps the vehicle securely positioned on the loading platform.
Which vehicles are vehicle transport straps suitable for?
Depending on their design, vehicle transport straps are suitable for cars, vans, light commercial vehicles, and trucks. Important factors include vehicle weight, tire size, transport equipment, available lashing points, and the required load capacity of the straps. For passenger cars, 35 mm wide straps are commonly used, while heavier vehicles often require wider straps with higher load ratings.
Where are car transport straps typically used?
Car transport straps are commonly used on car transporters, recovery vehicles, car trailers, flatbed trailers, and, in certain applications, RoRo ships. They are essential wherever vehicles must be secured against shifting, rolling, tipping, or sideways movement during transportation.
What is a controller on a car tie-down strap?
A controller is a webbing or protective section positioned over the tire. It helps keep the strap correctly positioned on the wheel and distributes the securing forces more evenly. Depending on the design, the controller may feature a textured surface, protective sleeve, or reinforced edges to protect the tire, wheel rim, and strap webbing.
What do LC and STF mean on car tie-down straps?
LC stands for Lashing Capacity and indicates the permissible tensile force of the tie-down strap. STF stands for Standard Tension Force and describes the pre-tensioning force generated when tightening the strap with a ratchet. Both values are important when determining whether a car tie-down strap is suitable for a particular vehicle, transport platform, and available lashing points.
Which standards and guidelines are important for car transport straps?
DIN EN 12195-2 is particularly relevant for car tie-down straps because it defines requirements for web lashing assemblies made from man-made fibres. The VDI 2700 guidelines, particularly Parts 8.1 and 8.2, also play an important role in vehicle transport. Sandax offers vehicle transport straps manufactured in accordance with DIN EN 12195-2 and designed to meet the requirements of VDI 2700 Parts 8.1 and 8.2.
Why are swivel hooks useful on car tie-down straps?
Swivel hooks make it easier to attach car tie-down straps to suitable lashing recesses, perforated loading decks, or designated anchor points. They can also help prevent the strap webbing from twisting, allowing more even tensioning. This makes handling easier, especially on car transporters or trailers with limited working space.
How many car tie-down straps are needed per vehicle?
The number of car tie-down straps required depends on the vehicle, transport equipment, available lashing points, and the load securing method. In practice, vehicles are often secured at multiple wheels to prevent movement in different directions. For safe and compliant vehicle transport, the transport equipment manufacturer's instructions, applicable guidelines, and the strap manufacturer's specifications must always be followed.
How do you correctly secure a car with tie-down straps?
Before securing the vehicle, inspect the webbing, ratchet, hooks, and stitching for damage. Position the strap over the tire, ensure that the controller is correctly aligned, and attach the hooks to suitable lashing points. Then tighten the strap using the ratchet until the vehicle is securely restrained without damaging the tire, wheel rim, or strap webbing.
What mistakes should be avoided when transporting vehicles?
Common mistakes include insufficiently tightened straps, incorrectly positioned controllers, twisted webbing, unsuitable lashing points, and damaged straps. Excessive tension can also cause problems by placing unnecessary stress on the tires, wheel rims, or strap material. The securing system should be checked before departure and during longer journeys as required.
When should a car tie-down strap be replaced?
A car tie-down strap must no longer be used if the webbing shows cuts, severe abrasion, damaged edges, torn stitching, or deformation. Defective ratchets, bent hooks, corrosion, or illegible identification labels are also clear reasons for replacement. Damaged straps must not be used for vehicle load securing.
Are car tie-down straps available with reinforced edges?
Yes, car tie-down straps are available with reinforced edges or additional protective sections. These versions are particularly useful when straps are subjected to greater wear during frequent use or when friction against the tire or adjacent vehicle components needs to be reduced.
Can I buy car tie-down straps directly from Sandax?
Yes, you can buy car tie-down straps, passenger car transport straps, and truck transport straps directly from Sandax. Many common versions are available from stock, including straps with tire controllers, swivel hooks, standard ratchets, reinforced edges, and different LC and STF ratings.
