2" x 27' Military Ratchet Strap Tie Down
2 inch ratchet straps are a staple in the transportation industry - the polyester straps are rugged yet soft to protect your cargo, and the ratcheting mechanism makes it simple to achieve a tight, secure hold. They are incredibly versatile, filling the gap between lightweight 1" straps and heavy-duty 4" straps. The polyester webbing offers superior strength with very little give, along with UV- and water-resistance. And, unlike cam straps, ratchets don't rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.
Quality-Focused Ratchet Strap Construction:
-
Industrial-Grade Webbing: Webbing is thicker than most competitors, with more picks per inch.
-
Superior Abrasion-Resistance: Heat-sealed ends provide better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting.
-
Built to Work Better: With a longer fixed end than most standard straps, you can position the ratchet further from the anchor point after wrapping around a rub rail. 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!
-
Heavy-Duty 5/16" Chain Extension End Hardware: Combines the strength of grade 70 transport chain with the softness of polyester webbing - use rub rails or stake pockets to tie down your cargo without risking damage to the strap's webbing. 18" long with a 2" D-ring, 14-1/2" chain, and clevis grab hook for quick and secure connections.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: The ratchet and chain extensions are both zinc-plated to resist rust.
-
Designed for Fast Tensioning: The ratchet has a long, wide handle - easy to grip for fast tensioning.
-
Industry-Compliant: This 2 inch strap is tagged and stenciled with break strength and working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards. Learn more about proper load handling and securement in the WSTDA safety bulletins.

WSTDA Ratchet Use Guidelines
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."
Additionally, they define design factor as the "ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit." The design factor is 3:1 for these tie down straps to build in a level of redundancy, accounting for unknown factors to keep you, your crew, and those around you safe.
