The XL handle of this ratchet ensures a better force transfer. That means you can achieve more pre-tension force (STF) in the strap with the same muscle strength. Thus, one ratchet with an XL handle can replace in some cases two ratchets with short handles. The aluminum grip is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. With an LC of 2,500 daN and a breaking force of 5,000 kg, this ratchet is optimal for heavier lashing work. This ratchet is combined with Metaltis tie-down straps of 50 mm.
