How to install a tensioning strap in 6 steps

Properly installing a tie-down strap ensures the safety of your belongings during transport, storage, or securing. Here's a universal method in 6 simple steps, suitable for both self-locking and ratchet straps.

1. Identify the two ends of the strap

• Free end: flexible part that you will pass through the mechanism.
• Loop or ratchet: fixed part equipped with a locking system.
• 💡 Tip: Make sure the strap is not twisted to ensure optimal tightening.

2. Position the strap around the load

• Place the strap around the object to be secured: parcel, bicycle, boards, camping equipment, etc.
• Ensure that it is completely flat and without twisting along its entire length.

3. Pass the strap through the buckle or clip

• Insert the free end into the opening of the self-locking clamp or under the metal ratchet.
• Pull it towards you until you reach the necessary length to surround the object.

4. Tighten gradually

• Pull on the free end to adjust the tension.
• On a ratchet: operate the back-and-forth lever until the desired tension is achieved.
• On a self-locking buckle: the mechanism will automatically lock the strap in place.

5. Check the tightness

• Shake the load to test stability.
• Check that the strap does not slip in the mechanism.
• Check that the strap does not slip along the elements or towards a narrower section.
• If necessary, tighten further or reposition.

6. Secure the excess strap

• Wrap the remaining end around the cable and secure it with a cable tie, Velcro fastener, or simple knot.
• This prevents the strap from flapping in the wind or getting stuck during transport.

Note: Feel free to recheck the tightness after a short time of use and tighten if the strap has loosened.
