Product profile
A ratchet tie-down (also called a ratchet strap) is a tensioning device used to secure cargo during transport. It consists of a webbing strap (usually polyester or nylon), a ratchet mechanism, and hooks or loops on both ends. The ratchet allows for precise tightening and locking to keep loads stable.
Product application
- Attach the Hooks
- Secure the hooks to anchor points on the truck, trailer, or cargo (e.g., D-rings, tie-down rails).
- Ensure hooks are properly engaged to prevent slipping.
- Pull the Strap Through
- Extend the strap over the cargo and insert the loose end into the ratchet mechanism.
- Tighten the Strap
- Operate the ratchet handle back and forth to tighten the strap incrementally.
- The ratchet locks the strap in place with each motion, preventing loosening.
- Lock & Secure
- Once the desired tension is achieved, close the ratchet handle fully to lock it.
- Check for tightness and adjust if needed.
- Release the Strap
- Open the ratchet handle fully and press the release lever to loosen the strap.
