What are Ratchet Straps?
Ratchet straps are cargo tie down straps that use a ratchet as the tensioning mechanism. The ratchet device drastically reduces the amount of force needed to tighten your straps, meaning it's easier to add the perfect amount of tension to hold your load in place.

To ensure safe transport for both your cargo and your team, all of our ratchet straps have been extensively tested for safe use, and have labels with working load limit (WLL) and break strength. They also meet requirements / guidelines from several key authorities:
1. Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA)
2. Department of Transportation (DOT)
3. Web Sling & Tie Down Association (WSTDA)
4. North American Cargo Securement
Our ratchet tie down straps are available in so many sizes and styles, there's something for almost every type of cargo securement application. Primarily made using industry-grade polyester webbing, these durable tie downs are ideal for both flatbed and enclosed trailer use. Polyester is extremely strong, with very little stretch, and can secure your load with ease.

In addition to their robust construction and reliability, ratchet straps also offer a variety of features that enhance their usability and safety. Many ratchet straps come equipped with protective sleeves or pads that prevent abrasion and wear on the cargo, ensuring that both the straps and the load remain in excellent condition throughout transport. Furthermore, the ratchet mechanism allows for quick adjustments, enabling users to easily modify the tension as needed during loading and unloading. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments where the weight distribution of the cargo may change. 

Moreover, ratchet straps are available in various colors and lengths, allowing for easy identification and customization based on specific needs. For instance, longer straps can accommodate larger loads, while shorter ones are perfect for smaller items or tighter spaces. Some manufacturers even offer straps with reflective stitching or markings, enhancing visibility during nighttime operations, which is crucial for safety in low-light conditions. 

It's important to note that proper usage and maintenance of ratchet straps are vital to ensuring their longevity and effectiveness. Regularly inspecting the straps for any signs of wear, such as fraying or broken components, can help prevent accidents and cargo damage. Additionally, storing the straps in a dry, cool place when not in use can prevent deterioration from environmental factors. With the right care and attention, ratchet straps can provide a secure and reliable solution for cargo transport, giving users peace of mind knowing their loads are safely secured.
