Trailer and flatbed work often comes down to anchoring along a rub rail or truck bed edge without chewing up the webbing against sharp metal. This gear-driving reverse-action ratchet strap handles that by pulling down instead of pushing up, so you get full tension using your body weight instead of straining your shoulders on an overhead ratchet handle.

Flat hooks on each end have a wide contact area that spreads out the tie-down force and a built-in defender that keeps the webbing from wearing against the hook edge. The webbing itself is thicker and heat-sealed at the ends, using more picks per inch than most competing straps, and an extra gear in the ratchet head gives you more clicks per pull for finer tension control.

Key Features

• Reverse-action, gear-driving ratchet pulls down for less strain and more stable footing
• Extra ratchet gear nearly doubles tension versus a standard ratchet strap for the same effort, tested in-house
• Side knob spins the mandrel to remove slack fast
• Heavy-duty flat hooks with wide contact area and built-in defender, fit rub rails and trailer edges
• Thicker, heat-sealed polyester webbing resists abrasion, tearing, and cutting
• Meets FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA North American cargo securement standards
• Available in multiple lengths and colors

Gear-Driving 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.
