Our ratchet tow straps are the perfect solution for hauling car and other motor vehicles with varying frame types, with the versatile RTJ cluster hook that can connect to the three most common styles.
Our 2" tow truck straps have a longer fixed end than most standard straps, positioning the ratchet further from the anchor point for better access. They also have a sewn loop built-in next to the ratchet for extra webbing - simply wrap up the excess strap and tuck it into the loop!
The yarn used to make our webbing is slightly thicker than that offered by most competitors, with more picks per inch used to create each strap. It's also heat-sealed on the end. Together, these features provide better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting, so your auto tow straps will last longer.
Zinc-coated ratchet component has a long, wide handle and a smooth grip. These features combine to allow for easier strap tensioning.
This ratchet tow strap comes with an RTJ cluster hook. RTJ hooks combine three hooks into one chain ring, each with its purpose when it comes to towing vehicles with different frame designs:
It also comes with a heavy-duty E-track fitting so you can easily secure this to existing E-Track in your enclosed trailer or truck. This end fitting hooks directly into an E-track rail, positively engaging with a spring-loaded keeper to hold it securely in place.
All of our ratchet straps are tagged with the working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.

Looking for a combination of length, color, hardware you don't see on the website? Want straps stenciled with your company name or logo? We also offer custom tie down straps. We can create the ideal strap for your application at our Iowa manufacturing facility - this not only allows us to hold all of our straps to the same high quality standards, but it also means fast shipping to you!
According to the WSTDA (section 4.6.8): "When using web tie downs with a winch or ratchet, a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 wraps of webbing shall be wound on the winch or ratchet mandrel. Excessive wraps of webbing on the mandrel may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the web tie down and may interfere with proper operation."
According to the WSTDA, design factor is the "ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit" and should be 3:1 for these tie down straps. This builds in a level of redundancy to account for unknown factors, keeping you, your crew, and those around you safe.
