This is an all-purpose snap hook ratchet strap in an 8' length, but it can often be used as an automotive ratchet strap or car tie down. It has a ratchet assembly with a short wide handle and a flat snap hook. This ratchet strap with locking hook gives you peace of mind for securing cargo. The 2" wide polyester webbing is in yellow and gives you a 12,000 pound webbing break strength. All of our ratchet strap tie downs and components meet or exceed both WSTDA and DOT guidelines; sewn-in tag lists working load limit information. We also have
ratchet straps with twisted snap hooks.
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."
