Lashing straps are an essential part of
modern load securing systems that focus on
efficiency and safety. These special straps offer a
reliable and cost-effective solution for securing goods (mostly heavy packages and boxes) during transport, especially in areas such as
container, flatrack, truck and ship transport. As part of the one-way lashing concept,
lashing straps allow for one-time use and thus offer a favourable alternative to conventional reusable solutions.
Single-use straps, as they are often referred to in the context of lashing, are known for their
ease of use and efficiency, making them a favoured means in
modern cargo securing and export packaging.
The application areas of lashing straps are diverse and range from securing
heavy goods on flatracks and in containers to use on various load carriers. The flexible applicability of these straps, combined with their
high tear resistance, makes them an indispensable component in the logistics and transport industry.
Features and types of webbing / lashing
At the heart of the lashing straps is the
specially woven polyester. This material is characterised by its
exceptional tear resistance, which makes it particularly suitable for the requirements of load securing. The polyester fibres are processed using
advanced production and weaving techniques to ensure
maximum stability and resilience. This ensures that they fulfil their function reliably under a wide range of conditions.
Various webbing lengths and widths
Lashing straps are offered in a
variety of lengths and widths to meet different load securing needs. Typical lengths vary between
150, 200 and 250 metres (packaged as endless webbing in a bag), with the width of the straps often
ranging from 30mm to 50mm. This variety allows users to choose the right strap for their specific requirements, whether for light or heavy cargo

Endless webbing and its applications
Endless webbing is a key element in the world of lashing. These straps are designed to be packaged in 150m, 200m and 250m lengths in plastic bags, making them
particularly efficient and easy to handle. The strap is pulled out of the bag and cannot twist as with strap from the roll. This feature is particularly advantageous for use in large packing yards and for
securing goods in containers and on flatracks where fast and
reliable lashing is required. The endless webbing is not only a symbol of efficiency, but also of safety, as it
minimises the
risk of the load slipping or becoming loose. A safety factor of 2:1 provides a sufficient buffer and guarantees 100% load securing.
Areas of application for webbing by the metre
Lashing straps play a central role in modern load securing and export packaging of machines, drums, vehicles and much more, and are used in
a wide variety of transport environments. Their main applications extend across various means of transport, with particular use in containers, on flatracks and other load carriers. This flexibility makes them an indispensable
load securing device in the logistics and export packaging industry.
Use in containers and on flatracks
In containers,
lashing straps provide
stable anchoring of the load, preventing goods from shifting and being damaged during transport. On flatracks, they are used to securely lash
larger and heavier goods, which is particularly important for shipping and export. Due to their high tensile strength and
safety factor (a 4000dan / 4t strap will last approximately twice as long before breaking), lashing straps offer a reliable securing option.
Specific use in export load securing
In the export sector,
lashing straps are an effective solution for securing loads. Their one-way nature makes them particularly suitable for export, where the return of reusable load securing equipment is often logistically complex and costly. Lashing straps offer a
practical and cost-effective alternative here.
Advantages of webbing by the metre
The use of lashing straps in load securing brings
numerous advantages that are both practical and economical. Lashing straps offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional
tension belts and elaborate wooden constructions. Their single use eliminates the cost and effort of
return and maintenance, making them particularly
attractive for export. This efficiency makes them a preferred choice for companies looking to optimise their operating costs.
High tensile strength and safety standards
The
high tensile strength of webbing is a key element of its use in
load securing. Lashing straps are able to maintain their safety even under demanding conditions and keep the load secure. Sandax lashing straps meet very
high safety standards and are DNV-GL certified, which provides additional confidence in their reliability. One-way lashing with lashing straps not only offers cost benefits, but also increased safety. As the straps are designed for single use, there is
no risk of material fatigue or regular inspections that can occur with reusable solutions. This ensures that every lashing with a lashing strap offers the
highest possible level of
safety.
Accessories and complementary products for lashing straps
In addition to the lashing straps themselves, various accessories and complementary products are essential for
effective load securing. These additional components (
fasteners,
hooks,
tensioning devices) are part of the
one-way lashing system
with lashing straps and contribute to the safety of the lashing strap application.

Lashing buckles
or fasteners or double bar fasteners are part of the application of lashing straps. They enable a secure and reliable connection of the strap and ensure (e.g. as loop lashing) that the load remains firmly connected to the load carrier during transport. Tensioning devices, on the other hand, are necessary to tension the lashing strap. These tools are indispensable for using the one-way lashing strap load securing system.
Function and selection of suitable fasteners
The selection of the right fastener for lashing straps is another important aspect. Fasteners must take into account the strength and material of the lashing strap to ensure
optimum securing. High-quality fasteners help to minimise the risk of the strap slipping and therefore secure the load more effectively. There is a corresponding double bar fastener (loop lashing) or hook (direct lashing) for every lashing strap thickness.

Certifications and safety standards
The quality and safety of lashing straps are guaranteed by various
certifications and standards that offer a high degree of trust and reliability.Certifications, such as those issued by Germanischer Lloyd (DNV-GL), play a
central role in the quality assurance of lashing straps. They confirm that the straps have undergone rigorous tests and inspections and fulfil high safety standards. These
certifications provide users with the assurance that the lashing straps are suitable for the intended use and provide reliable performance.
Safety and quality controls in the manufacture of
The manufacture of lashing straps is subject to strict safety and quality controls. These
controls ensure that each strap meets the
required specifications and fulfils consistently
high standards of strength, durability and reliability. Compliance with these controls is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of lashing straps in use.
Buying advice for lashing straps
Choosing the right webbing by the metre for specific load securing needs is crucial for an
efficient and safe transport solution. Here are some important aspects to consider when making your choice. The choice of the right type of lashing strap depends on various factors, such as the weight and type of load to be secured. Lashing straps with higher tensile strength are suitable for
heavier loads, while straps with lower strength may be sufficient for lighter loads. It is important to select the strap according to the
specific requirements of the transport to ensure optimum safety.
Tips for effective load securing with endless straps
For
effective load securing, it is important to use the lashing straps correctly. Endless straps offer a
quick and efficient way of securing loads, but require correct handling. It is crucial that the straps are applied tightly and evenly around the load to ensure maximum safety.
Conclusion and contact
To summarise, lashing straps play an indispensable role in modern load securing, industrial packaging,
export packaging and container stowage. Their
versatility, cost efficiency and high safety standards make them an ideal choice for the respective application. High
cost savings can also be achieved in comparison to traditional lashing with wood, squared timber and latches. Lashing straps offer an
