NOT ALL RATCHET TIE-DOWN (RTD) ASSEMBLIES ARE THE SAME! Beaver Truckers’ Ratchet Tie-down (RTD) Assemblies, ranging from 25mm to 100mm, have been developed with the following principles:
Safety All Ratchet assemblies comply to Australian Cargo Restraint System Standards AS/NZS 4380. Quality RTD Straps are 100% polyester which is heat set, stretched and polyurethane (PU) impregnated, resulting in low strain, long life, wear resistance, and durability demanded in flatbed tie-down requirements. Traceability All RTD straps come complete with blue polyester safety labels, identifying the manufacturer / supplier, the material the straps are made from, the standard, the date of manufacture and the length. Also included is the serial number together with the date of manufacture which is stitched into the webbing for traceability, in the event the label is dislodged.
Testing All RTD Assemblies are subject to testing criteria of our manufacturing process. In order to verify their lashing capacities after manufacture/assembly these are traced back to their batch serial numbers that appear on the blue polyester safety labels. This enables the products to be identified by our manufacturing procedure that is verified by further break tests in our NATA laboratories. User friendly visual features Consist of being able to recognise, at a glance the lashing capacity, which is stencilled on to the webbing and also the two (2) protective sleeves.
Flexibility All RTD straps come complete with standard hook & keepers, clearly marked with lashing capacity and ID marks. Longer lengths of webbing, different webbing widths, together with an abundance of various end fittings are available on request and are made to order. Back-up service Beaver’s nation-wide distribution branches, that are NATA accredited, can offer after-sales service in the form of inspection and testing of Ratchet assemblies & RTD straps by competent personnel.
