Tie-Down Straps

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. Tie-down straps are essentially webbing that is outfitted with tie-down hardware. This hardware allows the tie-down strap to attach to the area surrounding the cargo or equipment, loop over the cargo or equipment, and/or attach to the cargo or equipment. It usually also includes a method of tensioning the strap, such as a ratchet.
