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 4" polyester webbing offers superior strength with very little give and, unlike cam straps, ratchets don't rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.
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 high-quality ratchet and rings all have a zinc coating to protect against weathering and prolong the life of the strap. The ratchet also comes with a long, wide handle to make tensioning easier.
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.
Learn more about proper load handling and securement in the WSTDA safety bulletins.
The 4" forged triangle D-rings are compatible with nearly all hook options, giving you flexibility when it comes to making connections.
Looking for a combination of length, color, or hardware you don't see on the website? Want straps stenciled with your company name or logo? We also offer custom tie down straps!
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."
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.
Complete your tie down system with strap protection, D-rings, corner protectors, and more. We also offer transport chains and binders as an alternative tie-down solution.
