2" x 8' Ratchet Strap Tie Down

This 2 inch ratchet strap is a staple in the transportation industry and is most commonly used to tie down cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles due to the shorter length and flat snap hook hardware. 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 Flat Snap Hooks: A versatile tie-down option able to connect to almost any anchor point, including E-track and L-track when combined with a fitting that has an O-ring or pear link. They feature a spring-loaded keeper that closes automatically, ensuring a secure connection.
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: End fittings and ratchet are zinc-plated for corrosion-resistance.
• Designed for Fast Tensioning: The ratchet has a long, wide handle and a smooth grip for easy 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.
