Can I lift with a ratchet strap?

No. Restraint webbing is rated for lashing (LC), not lifting. Different standards, different safety factors, no lifting rating at all. Lifting needs rated lifting slings.

What does LC mean on a strap?

Lashing capacity, the rated strength of the assembly for restraining a load, marked on the label. It is not a working load limit for lifting, and the two aren't interchangeable.

How many straps does my load need?

Enough that the system meets the Load Restraint Guide's performance standard: the whole load restrained forward, and a large share sideways and rear. Weight, deck friction and strap angle all change the count, so work it from the guide's tables rather than habit.

Choosing load restraint

Ratchet straps, chains, binders and the hardware that keeps loads on trucks. Restraint equipment is rated for holding loads down, not lifting them.

Restraint is not lifting

Restraint equipment carries a lashing capacity (LC), not a working load limit for lifting. The ratings, the standards and the safety factors are all different. A ratchet strap never lifts a load, and a lifting sling makes a poor and expensive lashing. Keep the two kits separate on the truck.

How much restraint a load needs

The benchmark in Australia is the National Transport Commission's Load Restraint Guide: a restraint system has to hold the whole load forward under heavy braking, and a large share of it sideways and rearwards. How many lashings that means depends on the load's weight, friction against the deck, and the lashing angle, since flatter angles hold less. The guide's tables do the arithmetic, and the answer is almost always more lashings than optimism suggests.
