5000kg Ratchet Straps

Discover the unmatched strength and versatility of our 5000kg Ratchet Straps, available in convenient 6-meter, 8-meter, and 10-meter lengths. These heavy-duty straps are designed to provide a secure and reliable solution for a wide range of applications.

Length of straps

5000kg ratchet straps need to be long enough to reach from tie down point to tie down point or to at least safely secure a load to a suitable fixing. If the ratchet straps are too short they will not offer a secure fixing. Any excess strap must be securely fastened to stop it coming loose and flapping during transit.

Weight capacity of straps

One of the most important things to consider is the weight of the load you’re strapping down. You need to know how much your cargo weighs and use a suitable type and number of claw hook straps to secure it. The safe working load limit, or WLL, will be clearly identified on the strap. To safely secure a load, the combined WLL must be greater than the weight of the load itself. It’s always recommended to use claw hook ratchet straps in pairs. Our 5000kg ratchet straps have a rated break force of 5000daN(kg) and lashing capacity of 2500daN(kg).

Break Force: The Ultimate Strength

Break force refers to the maximum force that a ratchet strap can withstand before it breaks. For a 5000kg ratchet strap, the break force is 5000daN (Kg). This rating indicates the strap's ability to handle heavy loads and provides a margin of safety for securing cargo.

When assessing break force, it's important to note that this is the absolute maximum force the strap can endure before failure. In practice, you should never load a strap to its break force limit. Instead, it's a benchmark for the strap's overall strength and durability.

Lashing Capacity: The Safe Working Load

Lashing capacity, often referred to as the working load limit (WLL), is the maximum load that a ratchet strap is designed to safely handle during regular use. For 5000kg ratchet straps, the lashing capacity is typically half of the break force. This means a 5000kg ratchet strap would have a lashing capacity of 2500daN (kg).

The lashing capacity ensures that the strap can be used safely without risking damage to the strap or the cargo. It accounts for dynamic forces and potential shifts in the load during transport, providing a safety margin to prevent accidents and ensure securement.

What Does daN Mean?

A dekanewton (daN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), where "deka" means ten. Therefore, one dekanewton is equal to ten newtons. In practical terms:

• 1 daN = 10 N

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Consequently, a dekanewton represents the force needed to accelerate a ten-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared.

In the context of ratchet straps and other load-securing equipment, dekanewtons are often used to express the force ratings, such as break force and lashing capacity, to provide a clearer understanding of the strength and capability of these tools.
