Buy double bar catches & hooks for webbing: Lashing strap hooks and fasteners from Sandax
The web fasteners and double web fasteners are sold to match the load securing webbing(lashing strap) we offer. For correct and safe use, it is therefore necessary to use both products together. If the strap is used to secure the load in the container , our phosphated fasteners can also be used, as the maximum strengths of the straps are not utilised inside the container .
Double web locks & double web hooks for lashing straps
Double web locks are tested and certified by Germanischer Lloyd in combination with our woven polyester lashing straps. It is therefore highly recommended to use both products together.
Versions of webbing fasteners and webbing hooks
In recent years, drop-forged buckles have emerged as the industry standard. They are characterised by high material density and safety. The slightly cheaper welded version is also available as an alternative on request.
Bar fastener and hook overview
The bar fasteners for lashing straps are always available from stock as standard items.
Overview of fasteners and hooks
Fasteners and hooks are an integral part of lashing systems used in load securing. They are used to securely fasten lashing straps and lashing bands and to secure the load during transport. These components must be robust, reliable and easy to use to ensure effective load securing.Types of fasteners and hooks:
- Webbing hooks: These hooks are specially designed for use with webbing straps. They provide a secure and robust connection point for lashing straps and webbing and are available in different sizes and shapes to fulfil different requirements.
- Double web buckle/ webbing buckle: Double web buckles or webbing buckles are a popular choice for many load securing systems. They provide a strong and reliable method of locking lashing straps together in the system.
Material and construction
The quality of latches and hooks plays a crucial role in the safety and reliability of load securing. High-quality materials such as hardened steel or resistant alloys ensure high load-bearing capacity and a long service life. Precise processing ensures safe use, while special surface treatments such as galvanising or coatings prevent corrosion and further increase durability.Safety and compliance
To ensure that fasteners and hooks function reliably even under demanding conditions, they must meet strict safety standards. They are manufactured and tested according to defined standards to ensure that they can withstand the high demands of load securing. Compliance with these standards is essential to ensure the safety of transported goods and those involved.Areas of application for fasteners and hooks
Fasteners and hooks are versatile components that are used in a wide range of load securing applications. Their ability to securely fasten and hold lashing straps makes them an indispensable component in many securing systems. Here are some of the most common areas of application:- Transport and logistics: securing loads on lorries, in containers or on ships to prevent shifting and accidents
- Industrial applications: Securing machinery, equipment and materials during transport and storage
- Construction and trade: Safe transport and storage of building materials and tools
Advantages of high-quality fasteners and hooks
The use of high-quality fasteners and hooks in load securing offers numerous advantages that go beyond mere functionality. These components are crucial for the safety, efficiency and reliability of the entire lashing system:- Maximum safety: sturdy construction ensures a reliable connection and secure load securing.
- Durability: High-quality materials offer protection against abrasion, corrosion and the effects of the weather.
- Easy handling: Sophisticated design makes fastening and unfastening easier, saves time and increases efficiency.
- Versatile application options: Fasteners and hooks are available in various designs and are suitable for different load types.
Selection criteria for fasteners and hooks
Choosing the right fasteners and hooks is crucial to ensure effective and safe load securing. Here are some important factors to consider when selecting these components:- Material quality: choose latches and hooks made from high-quality materials that offer high strength and corrosion resistance. Materials such as hardened steel or high-quality alloys are known for their durability and reliability.
- Load capacity: Make sure that the latches and hooks can withstand the loads they are subjected to during transport. The load capacity should exceed the requirements of your specific load.
- Compatibility: Choose fasteners and hooks that are compatible with the straps and load you want to secure. The strength and width of the components should be suitable for safe and efficient lashing.
- Ease of use: Look for fasteners and hooks that are easy to use. Components with user-friendly mechanisms save time and reduce the risk of load securing errors.
- Standards and certifications: Check that the latches and hooks comply with the relevant safety standards and certifications. This ensures that they comply with industry standards for load securing and enable safe use.
Safety aspects and standards
Safety is the top priority when using fasteners and hooks in load securing. It is critical that all components comply with applicable safety standards and best practices:- Compliance with standards: Ensure that the latches and hooks comply with national and international standards for load securing. This ensures that the components function reliably under different conditions and guarantee the safety of the load.
- Regular inspections: Check latches and hooks regularly for signs of wear, corrosion or damage. Worn or damaged components should be replaced immediately to ensure safety.
- Staff training: Ensure that staff involved in lashing the load are properly trained and know the best practices for using latches and hooks.
- Correct use: Use the latches and hooks according to the manufacturer's instructions and ensure that the load is evenly secured to ensure optimum safety.
Care and maintenance of latches
and hooks Proper care and maintenance are critical to ensure the longevity and functionality of your latches and hooks:- Corrosion protection: protect metal components from corrosion by checking them regularly and treating them with suitable protective agents if necessary.
- Storage: Store fasteners and hooks in a dry, clean place to protect them from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Check for damage: Check the components regularly for signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary to ensure safety.
