Luggage & Load Securing Straps

Loads that shift, slide, or fall during transport are both a legal liability and a physical hazard - and the right load securing strap keeps cargo firmly in place for the duration of the journey. At the DIY Hardware Store, our luggage and load securing straps range covers ratchet straps, cargo lashing straps, and luggage securing belts in the load ratings and lengths used for vehicle, trailer, and personal travel applications.

Ratchet straps are the professional standard for securing loads on flatbed trailers, pickup trucks, and commercial vehicles. A ratchet mechanism allows the strap to be tensioned to a very high clamping force - far beyond what a simple hook-and-buckle strap can achieve - and locks off positively to prevent any release until the ratchet lever is deliberately tripped. Working load limits are clearly marked on conforming straps and must be respected: a strap marked 500kg WLL should not be used to secure a load exceeding that weight.

For lighter luggage securing applications - holding bags on roof racks, securing items in boots and load areas - lighter webbing straps with cam buckle or hook-and-loop closures are the practical choice. Available at the DIY Hardware Store in rated and conforming specifications.
