This 2 inch ratchet strap is a staple in the transportation industry and is most commonly used to tie down cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles due to the shorter length and twisted snap hook hardware. The polyester straps are rugged yet soft to protect your cargo, and the ratcheting mechanism makes it simple to achieve a tight, secure hold. They are incredibly versatile, filling the gap between lightweight 1" straps and heavy-duty 4" straps. The polyester webbing offers superior strength with very little give, along with UV- and water-resistance. And, unlike cam straps, ratchets don't rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.
Our 2" tie down straps have a longer fixed end than most standard straps, positioning the ratchet further from the anchor point for better access. They also have a sewn loop built-in next to the ratchet for extra webbing - simply wrap up the excess strap and tuck it into the loop!
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.
Zinc-coated ratchet component has a short, standard handle for working in tight spaces.
Twisted snap hooks are ideal for auto tie downs, as they can easily connect with axle straps with D-rings. The twisted orientation of the flat hook offers better maneuverability and allows the strap to sit flat against your cargo. The spring-loaded keeper closes automatically, ensuring a secure connection.
This tie-down strap is tagged 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, axle straps, and other auto hauling supplies.
California Residents: WARNING
High quality straps and hardware. Good pricing and shipping was great with plenty of updates on status.
The best tie downs money can buy. Top quality product for a very good price
The competition is more than double and doesn’t give you WLL for DOT.
I now have an assortment of these across all my trailers. They have been great. Hopefully USCC doesn’t get greedy and Jack their prices up.
