Tips for proper use and care
To ensure maximum service life and safety , tensioning straps should be checked regularly for damage, kept clean, and stored in a dry place. Using edge protectors on sharp edges also increases the service life of the strap and minimizes wear. After longer transports, a visual inspection and, if necessary, re-tightening of the straps is recommended to ensure optimal security throughout the entire journey.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about tensioning straps up to 5 tons
Which standards must tensioning straps up to 5 tonnes meet?
Lashing straps in this category must comply with DIN EN 12195-2, which regulates the requirements for lashing straps for load securing in Europe. This standard guarantees high tensile strength, tested lashing force, and the correct marking of all important values such as LC (Lashing Capacity) and STF (Standard Tension Force).
How do I choose the right length and width of the strap?
The length should be selected so that it securely encloses the load and can be secured to the vehicle – common lengths are between 3 and 12 meters. The range depends on the weight: For loads up to about 2 tons, 25–35 mm is usually sufficient; for heavier loads up to 5 tons, 50 mm wide straps are recommended.
What do the values LC and STF mean?
LC (Lashing Capacity) stands for the permissible lashing force in daN (decanewtons). A strap with an LC of 2500 daN can withstand a force of 2500 kilograms.
STF (Standard Tension Force) indicates the pre-tensioning force, i.e. how tightly a belt can be tensioned with the ratchet, usually between 300 and 550 daN.
What is the difference between one-piece and two-piece tension straps?
One-piece straps consist of a strap and ratchet as a single piece and are particularly suitable for strapping and bundling without attachment points. Two-piece straps consist of a fixed end with a ratchet and a loose strap with a hook and are more flexible for attachment to vehicle lashing points.
When does a tensioning strap need to be replaced?
Tie-down straps should be replaced if they have cracks, cuts, fraying, damaged seams, a damaged ratchet, an illegible label, or if they have been stored for a long time and are subject to excessive wear. Regulations require at least an annual visual inspection by trained personnel.
Are tensioning straps with a 5-ton lashing capacity approved for commercial transport?
Yes, Sandax tensioning straps with a tensile force of up to 5 tonnes are certified according to DIN EN 12195-2 and meet all legal requirements for commercial transport by road, rail and water.
Can I use multiple tie-down straps at the same time?
Yes, especially for heavy or unstable loads, multiple straps should be used to distribute the load and secure it. All straps must meet the correct specifications and standards and be correctly installed.
