Using motorbike tensioning straps correctly - step by step
- Establish stability: Jack up the motorbike on the trailer or loading area in the centre and in a stable position. Ideally with a front wheel rocker or transport stand.
- Fasten the handlebars: Attach a motorbike handlebar tensioning strap to both sides of the handlebars.
Make sure that nothing presses against the tank or the paintwork.
- Fasten thelashing straps: Guide the lashing straps to the lashing points on the left and right
and tighten them with a ratchet or automatic mechanism.
- Secure the rear wheel: Secure the motorbike additionally to the rear with a lashing strap for the
rear wheel to prevent it from swaying.
- Check the tension: Check all straps for tightness and correct tension before travelling.
- Use intermediate stops: For longer journeys, check the fastening again every 100-200
kilometres.
The advantages of high-quality tensioning straps for motorbikes
- Safety: Minimisation of movement and protection against tipping over
- Protection: Gentle materials prevent paint damage or deformation
- Convenience: Quick lashing thanks to automatic systems or practical loops
- Durability: UV-resistant, tear-proof materials for long-term use
Important purchase criteria - what you should look out for
- Certifications: Look out for tested quality, e.g. in accordance with DIN EN 12195-2
- Tensile force: The lashing capacity (LC) should match the vehicle mass
- Hook type: Rubberised hooks or carabiners protect sensitive parts
- Length and width: Dependent on the fastening situation (trailer, transporter, etc.)
- Automatic vs. ratchet: Automatic straps are recommended for frequent transport
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about lashing straps for motorbikes
1. How do I properly secure a motorbike with lashing straps on a trailer?
Ideally, a motorbike should be secured with at least four motorbike lashing straps - two at the front on the handlebars, two at the rear on the frame or on the rear wheel. It is important to first position the motorbike straight on the trailer (using a front wheel rocker if necessary) and then tighten the lashing straps for the motorbike diagonally to the lashing points. The handlebars should be slightly deflected to absorb any movement.
2. How many lashing straps do I need for a motorbike?
As a rule, four lashing straps are required for reliable motorbike load securing: two motorbike lashing straps for the handlebar area and two for the rear wheel or frame. Depending on the weight and transport route, a fifth strap may also be useful for additional securing.
3. How do I attach motorbike lashing straps to the handlebars correctly?
For the motorbike handlebar tensioning strap, textile loops are attached to both sides of the handlebars, which are guided to the loading area or trailer with a lashing strap. The straps should be tensioned at a slight downward angle to secure the front wheel firmly in the front wheel cradle. Take care not to touch the paintwork with metal parts.
4. How do I prevent my motorbike from tipping over during transport?
Tipping is prevented by correctly positioned motorbike straps that stabilise the vehicle in all directions. The combination of two handlebar straps (tensioned at an angle to the front) and two rear wheel straps (slightly to the rear) ensures optimum distribution of the tensile forces. It is also important that the motorbike is upright beforehand - preferably with a front wheel rocker or a stable assembly stand.
5. Are automatic tensioning straps useful for motorbike transport?
Yes, automatic tensioning straps for motorbikes offer many advantages. They can be tightened and loosened with a flick of the wrist, roll up automatically and ensure even tension. This is particularly practical if you load your motorbike frequently or have little time. Automatic systems also prevent the straps from loosening or slackening during the journey. Ideal for safe and comfortable transport.
6. What does the "LC 400 daN" rating mean for lashing straps?
The abbreviation LC stands for "Lashing Capacity", i.e. the permissible tensile force in a straight pull. 400 daN means that the belt can absorb a tensile force of 400 decanewtons (approx. 400 kg). For motorbikes, you should use straps with at least 400-600 daN. It is important to note that diagonal lashing reduces the effective holding force. This is why high-quality motorbike lashing straps with a sufficient LC rating are essential.
7. What do I need to consider when lashing motorbikes on long journeys?
On longer journeys, it is important that the motorbike lashing straps are checked regularly for tension and fit - ideally every 100-200 kilometres. Straps can easily loosen due to vibrations or temperature fluctuations. Use rubberised hooks to prevent slipping and combine handlebar and rear wheel straps to stabilise the bike in all directions. Automatic tensioning straps for motorbikes are particularly practical here, as they can be quickly readjusted if necessary.
