UNITRAILER 15m/50mm/5t transport belt with tensioner

UNITRAILER 15m/50mm/5t transport belt with tensioner

The orange UNITRAILER ratchet strap consists of two parts: a shorter part with a ratchet and hook, and a longer part with a strap and hook. The total length of the strap, including the strap and buckle, is 15 meters , providing sufficient length for securing larger loads. The 50 mm wide strap provides ample pressure. The strap has a robust tensioning strength of up to 5 tons (5000 daN) , making it suitable for securing heavier loads.

Cargo straps are an essential element in the safe transport of goods— they help securely secure various loads on trailers, trailers , and in transport vehicles. They come in various lengths and strengths, allowing their strength to be adapted to the weight and size of the load being transported. Properly selected straps protect goods from shifting and damage , while also increasing the safety of all road users. IMPORTANT: Straps are intended solely for securing loads, not for suspending them.

Certificates

TÜV-certified lashing straps are a guarantee of quality and safety. This certification is issued by an independent inspection body and confirms that the product has been thoroughly tested for strength, durability, and compliance with European standards . This ensures that the straps will withstand even heavy loads and ensure stable load securing. By choosing lashing straps with the TÜV mark, you are investing in a proven product that increases transport safety and protects the goods being transported.

UNITRAILER prioritizes the quality of its straps, which are manufactured from durable, stretch-resistant materials . All metal components—hooks and the tensioning mechanism—are made of durable, anti-corrosive steel, ensuring safe and long-lasting use in various weather conditions. Each strap has a clear label , protected by foil, with information in Polish and English. For convenience and safety, the maximum working load is also engraved on the buckle and hooks, allowing you to quickly check the strap's parameters even if the label is damaged.

Tensile strength (LC)

A 5-tonne (5,000 daN) strapping strength indicates the maximum load the strap can withstand when wrapped around the load or secured to the floor on two opposite sides of the load. This method of securing allows for stronger and more stable cargo securing because the force is distributed across both parts of the strap, reducing the risk of damage at higher loads.

Straight Tension Strength (LC)

A lashing strap has a simple tension strength of 2.5 tons (2500 daN) . This is the maximum force the strap can transmit when lashed directly from point to point. This value is typically half the strapping strength and determines the maximum safe load when the strap is simply tensioned . It's important to remember that to ensure safe transport, the load should be secured symmetrically, meaning the minimum number of straps secured in a simple arrangement is two. This ensures even force distribution and stable load immobilization during transport.

Standard Tension Force (STF)

The tension force is 300 daN, meaning the strap presses the load with a force equivalent to 300 kg , effectively securing it from shifting during transport. This is a key parameter of a transport strap, determining the clamping force that can be achieved with standard strap tension using a tensioner (ratchet). This parameter is particularly important when planning load securing, as it provides information about the actual force holding the load in place when using standard strap tension, which increases load safety during transport.

Standard Hand Force (SHF)

The manual tension force is 50 daN , which represents the force required to properly secure the load. This value ensures ergonomics and safety, allowing for proper strap tension without the risk of excessive effort. The SHF parameter is important when selecting a strap because it indicates the optimal manual force required to effectively and stably secure the load.

Maximum extensibility

Maximum extensibility refers to the percentage increase in the length of a lashing strap under full load . This value, expressed as a percentage, indicates how much the strap can stretch from its initial length. Maximum extensibility, typically around 7%, allows the strap to absorb shock and absorb sudden force changes during transport, further protecting the load from damage.
