3" x 30' Blue Tie Down Strap with Flat Hook

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. The 3" low-stretch polyester webbing offers the same working load limit as our standard 4" ratchet straps but with less bulk so they are easier to handle and, unlike cam straps, ratchets don't rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.

Three Inch Ratchet Strap Features

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 ratchet straps will last longer.

The flat hook end fittings have a black powder coating that looks sharp and adds protection from the elements, while the high-quality ratchet assembly has a zinc-plating for corrosion-resistance. It's also easier to grip for fast tensioning with a long, wide handle.

3" Flat Hook Tie Down Strap Industry Compliance

All of our ratchet straps are 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.

Why Choose Flat Hook End Hardware?

Flat hooks have a wide contact area to better distribute tie down force, making them a reliable choice for most loads. They also include a built-in defender to prevent webbing wear and tear and prolong the life of your strap. If you don't have a railing to clamp onto or your anchor point space is limited, flat hooks might not be the best choice.

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."

What is Design Factor?

Another term defined by 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.
