This 2 inch by 8 foot ratchet strap splits the difference between a lighter 1 inch strap and a heavier 4 inch strap, giving crews a strap that is rugged enough for daily securement work but easy to handle and store between jobs. Unlike a cam strap, the ratchet mechanism lets you dial in exactly the right amount of tension without relying on arm strength alone, and the polyester webbing holds that tension with very little stretch while standing up to sun and moisture on the job.

One end carries a vinyl-coated S-hook that helps keep cargo surfaces free of scratches and gouges, while the other carries a flat snap hook with a spring-loaded keeper that closes on its own for a secure connection. Both hooks work with most common anchor points, and with the right fitting they also connect to E-track or L-track. A longer fixed end positions the ratchet further from the anchor point for better access, and a sewn-in loop keeps extra webbing tucked rather than loose underfoot.

Key Features

• 2 inch x 8 foot polyester webbing with built-in UV and water resistance and very little stretch
• Thicker yarn and higher pick count than typical webbing, with heat-sealed ends for abrasion and cut resistance
• Vinyl-coated S-hook helps protect cargo surfaces from scratches
• Flat snap hook with a self-closing, spring-loaded keeper fits most anchor points and E-track/L-track with the right fitting
• Zinc-coated ratchet with a short, wide handle built for tight working spaces
• Longer fixed end and sewn-in loop keep the ratchet accessible and excess webbing stowed
• Meets FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA cargo securement guidelines, built to a 3:1 design factor
• Available in black or red

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.

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.
