Apparatus for securing and tensioning webbing straps 40 surrounding gas cylinders (31, Figure 3) loaded on a pallet 20 or the like. The apparatus comprises a ratchet operated jack and a webbing clamp 51. The webbing clamp 51 comprises a latch 54 which secures the webbing 40 when the latch 54 is closed and which allows the webbing 40 to run freely when the latch 54 is open. Preferably there may be two sections of fabric strap webbing 40 located around the cylinders (31) at the top and bottom of a cylinder bundle (30, Figure 3). The webbing clamps 51 may be the type commonly used for aircraft seatbelts, such clamps increase the clamping force con webbing 40 as the tension in the webbing increases. The ratchet mechanism is optionally attached to a removable handle 52 which may insert into a socket 53 in use to allow the operator to operate the ratchet.
