How do you use a tension strap on a freight vehicle?

Position the load on anti-slip matting on the vehicle floor. Route the webbing over the top of the load and hook both ends to the lashing rail on opposite sides of the vehicle. Place edge protectors wherever the webbing crosses a packaging edge or sharp corner. Operate the ratchet handle until the load holds firm under manual pressure, then close the ratchet handle to lock the tension. Confirm all hooks are fully seated before the vehicle moves.
