In addition to the range of lifting systems, we supply a large and varied range of load restraint and load securing equipment, from lightweight 25mm cambuckle systems to 10 tonne systems for securing heavy industrial plant vehicles during transportation. All systems are manufactured either to BS 5759 (1987), customer's commercial specification, Military specifications, or if so required, ISO 12195 pt 2.

Advantages of Webbing Lashing Systems

  • All lashings are individually and uniquely numbered for traceability and safety.
  • High Tenacity Polyester webbing has a high resistance to abrasion - much higher than its polypropylene equivalent.
  • Webbing does not weaken with age.
  • Ability to absorb shocks.
  • No hidden corrosion - can be easily checked by eye for damage: if it looks all right, it is all right.
  • Less risk of damage to the load or to painted surfaces.
  • Supple - can adapt to fit the load easily thereby reducing the chances of damage.
  • Easy and quick to use, saving time and thus saving costs.

Cambuckle systems are extremely compact, light and easy to use. They are ideal for securing light loads, i.e. car roof racks or palletised boxes. The systems are tightened by pulling the webbing till the system is sufficiently tight, and are released by depressing the thumb bar on the buckle. These systems are available in minimum break strengths varying from 250kg to 1000kg.
Internal Restraint Systems (illustrated below) are ideally used for restraining loads in box vehicles or curtain sided vehicles. In a box vehicle these systems are usually anchored at either end using fittings suitable to the tracking installed in the vehicle. However, in some cases anchor points are fitted in the floor of the vehicle.



In a curtain sided vehicle the system is usually anchored to the bullrings on the central overhead pole via a small snap hook. The other end of the system is locked on to the side rave of the vehicle using a rave hook and, if necessary, can be shortened using a high tensile 3 bar slide and tensioned using an overcentre buckle.
Both systems are available using 50mm wide webbing and have a minimum break strength from 750kg to 1500kg. Tony Beal Limited uses high tenacity polyester webbing and PVC reinforced nylon wear sleeves as standard.
As with all our load restraint systems the internal systems are individually and uniquely numbered and manufactured to BS EN 12195-2:2001.

Ratchet Systems

There is a wide variety of systems available - the most common being listed below, with their most popular applications. All webbing used is high tenacity polyester with a high abrasion resistance factor. All systems can be any particular length required, in a variety of webbing colour ranges - the standard and most popular being orange - complemented with a wide range of protective sleeves or plastic protective corner pieces.

25mm Systems are used for lightweight applications, i.e. restraining loads on pallets or car roof racks. They are available with a range of fittings - all designed to integrate the system with particular applications. They can also be supplied as endless systems if no anchorage points are available.

35mm Systems are used for specific areas where it is important to have a high minimum break strength, but a small system is required, two sizes of ratchet are available, known commonly as Mini and Midi. Both these systems are very popular in oil related industries where equipment could be damaged if the system is over tightened. Again, a wide range of fittings is available, or they can be supplied as endless systems if required.

50mm Systems, by far the most popular system, have a minimum break strength of 5 Tonnes. This system has the most varied range of fittings available - from twisted snap hooks to 'D' rings. Each fitting is designed to suit particular uses, but because of the wide range of fittings available, every application is catered for. Because of the durability and reliability of this system, the most popular use is for lashing loads on vehicles.


A recent development for this market is the ergonomic ratchet, commonly used amongst the oil industry, it is ideal for drivers who require a load to be secured as quickly and as safely as possible. The ratchet is operated by pulling the handle rather than pushing, and also has the advantage of having smaller cogs making it easier to work the system and therefore less chance of back strain and injury.However, there are still many other uses for 50mm systems, in particular there is a lighter ratchet commonly used for less stressful duties.

75mm Systems are used for heavyweight applications, mainly by the Ministry of Defence and companies transporting heavy plant vehicles. The system has a minimum break strength of 10 Tonnes and as it is predominately used for specialist requirements has only a small range of fittings available. Single hooks, 'D' rings or shackles can be fitted to this system if preferred.

Care and Use of Webbing Lashings

  • Only use webbing lashings manufactured to BS EN 12195-2:2001
  • Only use lashings which are clearly marked with a rated assembly strength and minimum break strength.
  • Regularly check the system for cuts and frays in the webbing.
  • Never use a bar or lever to tighten the tensioner - this is extremely dangerous.
  • Protect the system from sharp edges.
  • Keep away from alkalis and strong acids.
  • Do not use for lifting.
  • Do not tie knots in the webbing to shorten it.
  • When the tensioner is a ratchet, ensure that there have been at least 2 complete turns of the spreader bars after threading.
