Ratchet lashing straps, also called Tie-downs, are fasteners used to hold down or secure cargo and equipment on military or civilian vehicles during transportation or keeping construction materials in place. These straps are webbing that is outfitted with tie down hardware. This hardware allows the tie down strap to attach or loop over the cargo directly or attach to the area surrounding the cargo or equipment. It usually includes a method of tensioning the strap, such as a ratchet.
