Load securement just got a whole lot safer and easier with our cutting-edge 2" x 27' reverse-action ratchet strap. Unlike traditional ratchets, this innovative strap tightens when you pull down, significantly reducing the effort required to achieve a secure hold.
An additional gear in the ratchet’s construction allows you to pull the ratchet handle down using your arms and body weight, eliminating the need to strain your back, neck, and shoulders by pushing up. This reduces the risk of injuries, promotes better posture, and ensures stable footing, particularly crucial in adverse weather conditions such as icy or snowy environments.
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.
Chain extensions allow you to combine the strength of grade 70 transport chain with the softness of polyester webbing. You can use the rub rails or stake pockets on your truck or trailer to tie down your cargo without risking damage to the webbing part of the strap. The extra-length 18" chain extension is also easier to wrap around your stake pocket. This is best practice and not only provides a better, more secure hold, but also gives you the full working load limit of the stake pocket. It has a 2" D-ring, a 14-1/2" chain, and a clevis grab hook for quick and secure connections.
All of our ratchet straps are tagged and stenciled with the working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.

Looking for a combination of length, color, hardware you don't see on the website? Want straps stenciled with your company name or logo? We also offer custom tie down straps. We can create the ideal strap for your application at our Iowa manufacturing facility - this not only allows us to hold all of our straps to the same high quality standards, but it also means fast shipping to you!
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."
According to 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.
