Lashing straps, synonymously also often called tensioning straps, are very suitable for this purpose. There are basically two types of lashing straps. The <strong>one-piece lashing strap<\/strong>, which you have to loop completely around the goods and means of transport and then insert the end into the ratchet. And there is the <strong>two-piece lashing strap<\/strong>. This consists of a short strap with a ratchet and hook and a long part with a hook only. This means that such lashing straps can be used very well with trailers that already have corresponding eyelets or lugs for attaching such straps.<\/p>\n<p>The ratchets can differ, depending on the manufacturer. Nevertheless, the principle is similar in most cases.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fastening_the_tensioning_strap\"><\/span>Fastening the tensioning strap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Sling a one-piece tensioning belt completely around the transport belt and means of transport or, in the case of a two-piece belt, attach the hooks to the eyelets or <a href=\"https:\/\/ekiwi.de\/index.php\/1188\/was-ist-ein-anschlagmittel\/\">attachment points<\/a> provided.
