Ratchet strap

A web lashing assembly is a device used to secure cargo or equipment on road vehicles. Such assemblies are made from man-made fibre webbing and include end fittings that allow the assembly to attach to anchor points, loop over cargo, or connect directly to the cargo. They typically incorporate a tensioning mechanism, such as a ratchet, to apply pre-tension and maintain the load securely during transport.

EN 12195-2 specifies the strength, construction, marking, and testing requirements for these assemblies to ensure safe load restraint.
