Ratchet lashings are used to fix the cargo while transporting, shifting or moving storage. It being more secure, reliable and much lighter in weight as compared to chains, wires and jute ropes which were traditionally used, it has become a more reliable method of securing all types of load across an entire spectrum of requirements. It also offers a significant advantage over steel banding, the latter being much heavier and more prone to damaging the finished goods, it provides a superior level of cargo control through high pre-tensioning. Depending upon the loading requirements, the webbing of the Lashing system is available in 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm. There are different types of ratchet systems which are carefully designed and tested to exert the right amount of pre-tensioning of the lashing. These are manufactures as per the EN-12195:2000 standards
