How Chain Extensions Improve Securement
- 
Protects webbing at the anchor: Chain tail bears on steel edges so the strap body is less likely to rub.
- 
Flexible routing: Grab hooks make quick work of stake pockets, spools, and rail positions.
- 
Maximizes capacity: Chain hardware helps the assembly reach its listed WLL when used correctly.
Best Practices for a Secure Tie Down
- 
Use the WLL for planning: Select straps that meet or exceed the required Working Load Limit.
- 
Seat hardware correctly: Hook the chain into a suitable pocket or rail and avoid sharp edges on the webbing.
- 
Keep webbing flat: Remove twists, take up slack by hand, then ratchet to final tension.
- 
Protect corners: Add corner protectors on sharp edges to extend strap life.
- 
Secure the tail: Tie off excess webbing or use keepers to prevent flapping and abrasion.
