Thanks for the info - about these straps, I've just had a look on ebay,
and you can get straps that can cope with different kilogram weights.
Some are 250kg, others are much higher for eg 900kg, and others in the
Ton category.

Also, the lengths vary too - some are 2 metres, others go up to 8
metres.

For 3 kitchen appliances in a Luton van, do you know very roughly which
ones I should get, and how many?

PS - got to order them today really for a Monday move, so any info asap
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, regards, dnw.

Thanks a lot for all replies.

strap well to the internal goods rails.

Please could you advise what to use in this regard - thick string,
"spider clips", or rope?

Thanks a lot, regards, dnw.

Ideally, goods straps. They have hooks to engage in the goods rails and clip
that tensions the strap as you close it. Some have a ratchet to tighten the
strap, but that is really only for use with loads, such as machinery, that
can take the high loads they can impose. If you don't get straps with the
van, strong, non-stretch rope.
