Some anchor points on a trailer deck are too tight for a flat hook to seat properly. This gear-driving reverse-action ratchet strap pairs the same pull-down ratchet mechanism with wire hooks sized for D-rings and other narrow connection points, so you're not stuck forcing a wide hook into a space it wasn't built for.

The ratchet head carries an extra gear over a standard ratchet, giving you more clicks per pull and nearly double the tension for the same arm effort. A side knob spins the mandrel on its own to take up slack between pulls, and the polyester webbing is heat-sealed and built from thicker yarn with more picks per inch for better resistance to abrasion and cutting.

Key Features

• Reverse-action, gear-driving ratchet pulls down instead of up
• Nearly double the tension of a standard ratchet strap for the same effort, tested in-house
• Side knob spins the mandrel independently to take up slack
• Wire hooks sized for D-rings and other narrow or hard-to-reach anchor points
• Zinc-plated ratchet and wire hooks
• Thicker, heat-sealed polyester webbing
• 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.
