When selecting products to secure a load, consideration should be given to the required lashing capacity and whether the load is being transported.  The size, shape & weight of the load and transportation environment if applicable should also be taken into consideration.
For stability reasons freestanding units of load have to be secured with a minimum of 2 lashings and 2 pairs of web lashings for diagonal lashings.
The selected lashing system should be both strong enough and of the correct length for the mode of use. Basic lashing rules:
- Plan the fitting and removal before starting a journey;
- Keep in mind that during journeys parts of the load may have to be unloaded;
- Calculate the number of web lashings according to EN 12195-1/1995;
- Only those web lashings designed for frictional lashing
- Check the tension force periodically, especially shortly after starting the journey.

We recommend to use ratchet tie downs on loads which lashing capacity is between 150 and 2250kg

We recommend to use spring clam tie downs on loads which lashing capacity is between 150 and 600kg

We recommend to use lashing straps on loads which lashing capacity is between 65 and 150kg

We recommend to use straps with a plastic buckle on loads which lashing capacity does not exceed 40kg

Please read and obey all warnings and instruction sheets for a safer use

We recommend to limit the number of pivot of the ratchet handle to prevent jam on the mechanism.
If too much webbing is filling ratchet reel, start procedure over, first removing all slack from webbing over load.

All of our straps are compliant with the European norm EN 12195-2. This norm is an European standard that specifies safety requirements and methods for testing web lashings for securing loads on vehicles. 
All of our bungees are compliant with the Standard EK5/AK8. This standard is a German rule that specifies the test safety requirements and methods for testing elastic cords under tension.
Most of them are TUV certified. TÜVs  (short for Technischer Überwachungs-Verein, Technical Inspection Association in English) are German organizations that work to validate the safety of products of all kinds to protect humans and the environment against hazards. As independent consultants, they examine and monitoring tie downs and bungees.

Please always refer to the resistance of the product for the correct use.

Straps / bungees should be rejected if they show any sign of damage. 
The following criteria are considered to be signs of damage :
- If there is any accidental contact with chemical products.
- For web lashings and cords: tears, cuts, nicks and breaks in load bearing resulting from exposure to heat.
- For end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, splits, pronounced signs of wear, signs of corrosion.

The webbing shall be protected against friction, abrasion, and damage from loads with sharp edges by using protective sleeves and/or corner protectors.
