Tie down strap

A tie down strap (also known as a ratchet strap, a lashing strap or a tie down) is a fastener used to hold down cargo or equipment during transport.

It usually also includes a method of tensioning the strap, such as a ratchet.

Loop straps are a single piece of webbing that is looped around the item to be protected and the two endpoints are brought together at the tie-down fastener for fastening and providing tension.

A two-piece tie-down strap is a single assembly that is constructed out of two separate pieces of webbing each with their own hardware that is fastened at one end to the area surrounding the equipment to be protected and connected to each other, typically at the fastener.

Webbing with a linking device is used for the fastening of goods with trucks, trailers, pallets, boxes, and containers.
