RATCHETS AND ANCHORING DEVICES
RATCHET STRAPS
Ratchets are lifting and securing devices used to fasten loads safely. Below is some important information about ratchets:
Function of ratchets: Ratchets are designed to adjust and maintain tension on cables, ropes, wire ropes, or other lifting and securing systems. They allow the load to be locked in position and ensure it remains stable during lifting and transport.
Types of ratchets: There are different types of ratchets, including screw ratchets, lever ratchets, and chain ratchets.
Each type has specific characteristics and particular applications.
Screw ratchets are commonly used to adjust the tension of ropes or cables, while lever ratchets allow for quick and secure tightening.
Inspection and maintenance: It is essential to regularly check the condition of ratchets to ensure they are in good working order.
Verify that there are no signs of wear, breakage, or defects that could compromise safety during use. Lubricate the ratchet mechanisms to ensure smooth and effective operation.
Safe use of ratchets: Ensure that ratchets are used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and safety regulations.
Check that the ratchets are correctly sized for the load to be lifted and that they are installed securely and stably.
Record keeping and traceability: Record the inspections carried out on ratchets and the maintenance operations performed to ensure traceability and compliance with safety regulations.
Keep documentation relating to ratchets for at least three years, as required by occupational safety regulations.
Make sure to pay close attention to inspections, maintenance, and safe use of ratchets to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the lifting and securing systems in which they are used.
H50 RATCHET
A ratchet strap is a type of tie-down strap that uses a ratcheting mechanism to ensure safe and adjustable tension during the transport of loads.
Operation: Ratchet straps consist of a strong strap made of materials such as polyester or nylon and a ratcheting mechanism that allows the strap to be tightened around the load.
The ratchet allows the tension of the strap to be adjusted and keeps the load firmly secured during lifting and transport.
Applications: Ratchet straps are widely used to secure loads on vehicles, trailers, ships, loading platforms, and in other contexts where goods must be transported safely and stably.
Advantages:
Adjustability: the ratcheting mechanism makes it easy to adjust the tension of the strap to suit the load.
Safety: the ratchet system ensures that the strap remains firmly secured during transport, reducing the risk of accidental load movement.
Maintenance: It is important to regularly check the condition of both the strap and the ratcheting mechanism to ensure they are in good condition and functioning correctly.
Check for any signs of wear, damage, or defects that could compromise safety during use.
Regulations and safety: Make sure to use ratchet straps in compliance with safety regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure safe operation and conformity with industry standards.
Ratchet straps are effective tools for securing loads in various contexts. Be sure to follow the correct procedures for the use and maintenance of ratchet straps to ensure safety during load transport operations.
CRICCHETTO H75
The H75 ratchet strap is a device used for securing and transporting loads on vehicles, trailers, ships, or in other situations where it is necessary to safely fasten a load.
Application: The H75 ratchet strap is used to securely fasten loads of various sizes and shapes during transport.
Fastening method: The strap is wrapped around the load and then connected to the ratchet system to tighten and firmly lock the load in place.
Adjustment: The ratchet allows the strap tension to be adjusted quickly and safely.
Maximum load: Make sure to respect the maximum load capacity supported by the H75 ratchet strap to avoid damage or accidents.
Advantages:
Adjustability: the ratchet mechanism allows the strap tension to be easily adjusted to suit the load.
Safety: the ratchet system ensures that the strap remains firmly secured during transport, reducing the risk of accidental load movement.
Maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the strap and the ratchet to ensure they are in good condition and safe to use.
Safety: Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and adopt all necessary safety measures during the use of the ratchet strap to prevent accidents.
Ratchet straps are effective tools for securing loads in various contexts. Be sure to follow the correct procedures for the use and maintenance of ratchet straps to ensure safety during load transport operations.
