4" x 30' Ratchet Strap with Flat Hooks | Yellow

4" x 30' Yellow Heavy Duty 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 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.

HD Ratchet Strap Features:

• Industrial-Grade Webbing: Webbing is thicker than most competitors, with more picks per inch.
  
• Superior Abrasion-Resistance: Heat-sealed ends provide better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting.
• Heavy-Duty Flat Hooks: Perfect for connecting to either your rub rail or under the edge of your truck / trailer. Wide contact area better distributes tie down force, and a built-in defender prevents webbing wear and tear.
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Flat hook comes with a black powder coat finish and the ratchet is zinc-plated.
• Designed for Fast Tensioning: The ratchet has a long, wide handle - easy to grip for fast tensioning.
• Industry-Compliant: This 4 inch strap is 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.

WSTDA 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."

Additionally, they define design factor as the "ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit." The design factor is 3:1 for these tie down straps to build in a level of redundancy, accounting for unknown factors to keep you, your crew, and those around you safe.
