FAQ – Frequently asked questions about tensioning straps from 5 tons

Which standards apply to tensioning straps weighing 5 tonnes or more?

Tension straps weighing 5 tons or more must meet the requirements of DIN EN 12195-2. This standard specifies the design of lashing straps to safely support heavy loads. The straps must be marked with LC (Lashing Capacity) and other safety-relevant information. Many models are also TÜV or GS certified, ensuring compliance with these high quality and safety standards.

How do I choose the right length and width for my tension strap?

The appropriate length depends on the size of the load and the vehicle. Common lengths are 6 m, 8 m, 9 m, or 10 m. Widths of 50 mm and 75 mm cover different load ranges. For loads of 5 tons and above, we recommend straps at least 50 mm wide, which offer sufficient lashing capacity.

What do the LC and STF values on the tension strap mean?

  • LC (Lashing Capacity) : The maximum tensile force that a tensioning strap may carry; usually given in daN (decanewtons).
  • STF (Standard Tension Force) : The maximum preload that can be achieved when tightening with the ratchet. Ergonomic long-lever ratchets allow higher STF values for better fixation.

What is the difference between one-piece and two-piece heavy-duty tie-down straps?

One-piece straps combine a strap and ratchet in one piece, ideal for strapping cargo without tie-down points. Two-piece straps consist of a fixed end and a loose end with hooks that attach to the vehicle's tie-down points, making them ideal for direct tie-down on trucks or trailers.

How do I know when my tensioning strap needs to be replaced?

A harness must be replaced if the webbing is cracked, cut, or frayed, the ratchet is damaged or rusted, or the label is missing or illegible. An annual inspection by a qualified technician is mandatory.

Can I use the straps for different loads and applications?

Yes, tensioning straps weighing 5 tons and above can be used in a variety of ways, from securing machinery to transporting heavy loads on construction sites. It's important to select the right length, width, and ratchet for the specific application.

How does the ratchet mechanism work?

The ratchet gradually tightens and secures the webbing to create a high pre-tension. Once the desired tension is reached, the ratchet engages and holds the webbing in place. To release, a lever is pulled to release the locking mechanism.

How can I maximize the lifespan of my tie-down strap?

Regular cleaning, dry and cool storage, the use of edge protectors, and avoiding sharp edges and UV radiation help maintain belt quality. Damaged belts should also be replaced immediately.

Are there custom-made tensioning straps for loads of 5 tonnes and above?

Yes, many manufacturers, including Sandax, offer custom-made straps with individual lengths, widths, special hardware, and printing to meet specific requirements.

Are tension straps weighing 5 tonnes or more suitable for international transport?

Yes, provided they meet European and international standards and are labeled accordingly. Special attention should be paid to securing loads in cross-border transport.
