A car hauler or wrecker crew never knows what frame style is going to show up on the next tow, which is exactly why this yellow tow truck ratchet strap pairs an RTJ cluster hook with a heavy-duty E-track fitting. The cluster hook combines R, T, and J hook geometry into a single ring, so the same strap connects to Ford, GM and Chrysler, and most foreign frame rails without swapping hardware mid-job. The E-track end locks into existing E-track rail in an enclosed trailer or truck bed, with a spring-loaded keeper holding it in place once it is seated.

The webbing itself is built from thicker yarn with a higher pick count than most competing straps, and the ends are heat-sealed so the strap resists abrasion, tearing, and cutting over repeated hauls. A longer fixed end moves the ratchet away from the anchor point for easier access, and a sewn-in loop next to the ratchet gives you a place to tuck the extra webbing instead of letting it drag. The zinc-coated ratchet has a long, wide handle with a smooth grip, so tensioning the strap down is quick work even after a long shift.

• Thicker, higher-pick-count 2 inch polyester webbing with heat-sealed ends
• Zinc-coated ratchet with a long, wide handle for easier tensioning
• Extended fixed end and built-in loop keep excess webbing out of the way
• Meets FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA cargo securement guidelines, built to a 3:1 design factor

Compliant with Industry Standards

All of our ratchet straps are tagged with the 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.
