One Way Lashing

What you will find here

This section lists 36 one way lashing. Prices currently range from $5.49 to $511.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use one way lashing for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose one way lashing

Choose by load size and the strength you need, and pair lashing with the right buckles or tensioner.

Working load limits in this section run from 1,000 lbs to 3,600 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Steel (8 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Polyester (2 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• Aluminum (2 products) — Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant, which makes it easy to handle and install.
• Heavy Duty Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Plastic (1 product)

Specifications to compare

• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Length — make sure the strap reaches over the load and back to the anchor with enough tail to tension properly.
• Strap width — wider webbing generally carries a higher rating and spreads pressure over more of the load.

Before you buy

• Add up the working load limits of all tie-downs against the cargo weight.
• Check that the end fitting matches the anchor points on your trailer.
• Make sure the length reaches over the load with tail left to tension.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
