Secure Your Loads with Confidence: The Ultimate Guide to 5 Tonne Ratchet Straps
When it comes to securing heavy loads, having reliable equipment is non-negotiable. ATE UK 5 tonne ratchet strap assemblies are designed to meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and ease of use. Whether you are transporting goods across the country or simply need to secure equipment in place, these ratchet straps provide the robust solution you need. Let’s explore what makes these straps the top choice for professionals.
Built to Last: Quality and Compliance
ATE UK ratchet straps are GS/TUV approved and fully compliant with EU legislation and EN12195-2 standards. This means you can trust that each strap is manufactured to meet rigorous safety and quality requirements. The webbing comes with a tear-resistant blue label that displays the capacity, size, unique serial number, and date of manufacture, ensuring full traceability.
Superior Design Features
Enhanced Strength and Smooth Operation
The ratchet mechanism includes double sprockets for added strength and smooth operation. This ensures that your strap remains reliable even under the toughest conditions.
Comfort and Durability
A solid steel handle with a plastic grip ensures comfortable use, even in cold weather. This thoughtful design feature means you can use these straps without worrying about your hands slipping or becoming uncomfortable.
Visible and Resistant Webbing
The webbing is manufactured in a distinctive light green colour to assist with fitting in low-light conditions. Additionally, it has a stiffening agent applied to resist moisture ingress and prevent wear, significantly extending the lifespan of the strap.
Standard and Ergonomic Options
ATE UK offers both standard and ergonomic versions of their 5 tonne ratchet strap assemblies. Standard ratchet straps are available in various lengths, all maintaining a safe working load (SWL) of 5000kg and a breaking strain of 7500kg. Ergonomic straps are designed with user comfort in mind. They feature an extended ratchet handle that require less force to tension and a reverse ratchet mechanism to reduce strain on the user's back and joints. These are especially beneficial for reducing the risk of orthopaedic disorders associated with repetitive straining.

Easy Reordering and Traceability
Each strap comes with a unique serial number and date of manufacture, along with a product code or SKU for easy reordering. This ensures that you can always get the exact product you need without hassle.
