Snap, Flat Hook & Tie Down Hooks
Snap hooks, flat hooks, and specialty tie down hooks provide secure connection points for cargo control straps and custom tie-down assemblies. Available in multiple sizes, configurations, and strength ratings, these end fittings can be matched to different webbing widths, trailer anchor points, and load requirements.
Types of Tie Down Hooks
Flat hooks feature a wide profile that fits over compatible flat anchor points, including many trailer rub rails. Standard, narrow, swivel, and container hook options are available for different attachment points and operating angles. Select models include a defender that helps reduce webbing wear near the hook.
Webbing snap hooks include a spring-loaded keeper that helps the fitting remain connected to a compatible anchor point. Options include standard, forged, twisted, bull nose, and spacer-equipped designs for use with different strap configurations and connection angles.
Bolt plates provide an attachment point for custom tie-down strap assemblies and anchoring applications. Choose a plate that matches the webbing width, mounting hardware, and required working load limit of the assembly.
How to Choose the Right Tie Down Hook
Consider the complete tie-down system when selecting replacement hooks or building a custom strap assembly. Important factors include:
-
Webbing width: Match the hook or bolt plate slot to the width of the tie-down webbing.
-
Working load limit: Choose hardware with a working load limit that meets the cargo securement requirements of the application.
-
Anchor point: Confirm that the hook shape and opening fit the trailer, vehicle, or equipment attachment point.
-
Hook orientation: Twisted and swivel hooks can help align the strap with anchor points positioned at different angles.
-
Finish: Consider the operating environment when choosing between painted, black-coated, and zinc-finished hardware.
Complete Your Tie Down Assembly
Pair these tie down hooks with compatible tie-down webbing, ratchet buckles, cam buckles, and other tie-down hardware to build or repair a cargo securement assembly. Additional connection options include S-hooks, wire hooks, grab hooks, complete ratchet straps, and winch straps.
Always verify the working load limit of every component before use. The working load limit of the complete assembly is determined by its lowest-rated component. Inspect hooks, webbing, stitching, and tensioning hardware regularly, and remove damaged or excessively worn components from service.
