How to Choose the Right 400daN Ratchet Strap
Selecting the correct lashing strap depends on your load type, securing method, and anchor points.
What Does 400daN Mean?
The 400daN marking refers to the strap’s lashing capacity (LC). This indicates the maximum force the strap is designed to restrain when used correctly in a tie-down system.
It is important to note that ratchet straps are designed for load restraint, not lifting. If you require equipment for overhead lifting, you should use certified lifting chains, slings, or hoists.
Choosing the Right Strap Length
Ratchet straps are available in various lengths to suit different vehicle types and load sizes. When choosing length:
- Ensure the strap can pass over and around the load securely
- Allow sufficient excess for ratchet tensioning
- Avoid excessive slack
- If in doubt, choosing a slightly longer strap provides greater flexibility
End Fittings Explained
Different securing setups require different end fittings:
- Claw Hooks – Commonly used with trailer rails and vehicle anchor points
- S-Hooks – Versatile for general tie-down applications
- Endless Ratchet Straps – No fixed hooks, ideal for bundling and wrapping around loads
Selecting the correct fitting improves both safety and ease of use.
When to Choose a Higher Capacity Strap
If you are securing heavier loads or operating in commercial haulage environments, you may require a higher rated strap such as:
- 1500daN ratchet straps
- 2500daN ratchet straps
- 5000daN heavy duty ratchet straps
These provide greater restraint capacity for larger or heavier cargo.
