Ratchet Straps and Edge Protectors

With over twenty five years' experience in the industry, GTF specialise in the manufacture and supply of ratchet straps, webbing lifting slings and load restraint equipment.

Edge Protectors

Edge protectors don’t just prevent the cargo’s weight from damaging the straps: they also prevent the straps from damaging the cargo. The forces at work when a heavy item is secured by strapping will always leave an indentation on the item. Edge Protectors are there to ensure that the surface and shape of the cargo is never imprinted with the marks of the straps used to secure it.
