Tension straps 50mm or lashing straps 50mm – The professional solution for demanding load securing

50mm tensioning straps or 50mm lashing straps are the backbone of modern load securing when it comes to transporting heavy and bulky goods . Whether in commercial freight transport, logistics, or the transport of large machinery and building materials – these particularly robust straps impress with their enormous load-bearing capacity, durability, and versatile applications . Below, you'll learn everything you need to know about the technical properties, areas of application, advantages, and correct handling of 50mm-wide tensioning straps .

Technical features and construction of tensioning straps 50 mm

A 50mm tensioning strap consists of a high-strength polyester webbing , a sturdy ratchet , and durable end fittings such as pointed or double-pointed hooks . The straps are typically constructed in two parts : the fixed end is equipped with the ratchet and a hook , while the loose end has the long webbing and another hook . This design allows for flexible and secure securing of a wide variety of loads.

Typical technical data:

feature Value (example)
Belt width 50 mm
Belt length 3–12 m (often 8 or 10 m)
material 100% polyester
Load capacity (LC) 2,000–2,500 daN (straight pull)
Load capacity (strapping) 4,000–5,000 daN
Tear resistance Up to 7,500 daN
Color Orange, yellow, red, blue
standard EN 12195-2
ratchet Standard or long lever ratchet
End fittings Claw hooks, flat hooks, carabiners etc. (tension straps with hooks )
Load capacity is the decisive criterion : Depending on the design, a 50mm lashing strap can secure up to 2,500 kg in a straight line, and even up to 5,000 kg or more when strapped. The ratchet provides the necessary pre-tensioning force and enables safe, controlled tensioning and release.

Advantages of 50mm tensioning straps

Tension straps with a width of 50 mm offer numerous advantages that make them the first choice for professional users :

  • Maximum load capacity : Suitable for heavy machinery, pallets, construction and industrial materials and large vehicles
  • Durability : High-quality polyester fibers and galvanized steel parts guarantee a long service life, even under intensive use and adverse weather conditions
  • Reliable safety : Certification according to EN 12195-2 and sewn-on labels with all relevant information ensure legally compliant use
  • Versatility : Different lengths, ratchet types and hooks allow use in almost any transport environment
  • Comfortable handling : Ergonomically shaped ratchets and smooth-running mechanics make tightening and loosening easier, even with heavy loads

Typical applications for 50mm tensioning straps

50mm lashing straps are universally applicable and are used wherever high securing forces are required :

  • Goods transport on trucks, trailers and in containers
  • Securing machines, building materials and pallets
  • Lashing of vehicles, construction machinery and agricultural vehicles
  • Load securing in event and trade fair construction
  • Heavy removals and special transports
Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, they are indispensable for freight forwarders, construction companies, logistics service providers and very demanding private users.

Instructions for use and safety

The correct use of a 50mm tensioning strap is crucial for safety during transport. Please note the following :

  • Only use tensioning straps with an intact, clearly legible label and valid standard marking (EN 12195-2)
  • Check the webbing for cuts, tears or abrasion before each use – replace damaged straps immediately
  • Pay attention to the permissible tensile force (LC) and select the number of straps according to the weight and type of load
  • Protect the webbing from sharp edges with edge protectors or protective corners
  • The ratchet should always be fully closed and secured to prevent accidental release
  • After use, store the straps in a dry place and away from UV rays to maximize their lifespan
Important tips for practice:
  • Place the strap as straight as possible and without twisting it around the load
  • Tighten the ratchet firmly, but without damaging the transported goods
  • During longer transports, check regularly that the belts are firmly fastened

Variants and equipment options

Tension straps with a width of 50 mm are available in different versions to meet different requirements:

  • Standard ratchet or long lever ratchet : For particularly high preload and comfortable handling
  • Various hook types : pointed hooks, double pointed hooks, claw hooks or snap hooks for flexible attachment options
  • Special lengths : In addition to standard lengths of 3–12 m, shorter or longer belts are also available on request
  • Color variants : For quick differentiation and for individual requirements

Care and maintenance of tensioning straps

The lifespan of your tensioning straps can be significantly extended by simple measures:

  • Remove dirt and moisture after each use
  • Check the strap and ratchet regularly for damage
  • Lightly oil the ratchet mechanism if necessary to maintain its function
  • Store straps in a dry, clean and light-protected place
