Rub rails and stake pockets are tough on tie down webbing, which is why this fixed end swaps a soft strap connection for an 18" grade 70 chain extension. The bolt loop end sews onto your ratchet, while the chain and its 3" D-ring with clevis grab hook let you anchor directly to hardware that would otherwise chew through webbing over time. It's built to replace a worn or mismatched fixed end on a 3" strap system without buying a whole new ratchet assembly.

The webbing itself is heavy-duty yellow polyester with heat-sealed ends and tightly packed yarn for abrasion resistance, and the chain hardware carries a yellow zinc coating to stand up to weather and road grime. Every strap in this line is tagged and stenciled with break strength and working load limit, meeting FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA guidelines along with North American Cargo Securement standards.

• Yellow zinc-coated chain hardware for corrosion resistance
• Tagged and stenciled with break strength and working load limit per FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA 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.
