Flatbed and heavy-haul crews reach for a 3 inch ratchet strap when they want the holding power of a 4 inch strap without the extra bulk to coil and store. The low-stretch polyester webbing is rated to the same working load limit as a standard 4 inch strap, and because the ratchet mechanism does the work, you can bring the strap to the exact tension you want instead of relying on how hard you can pull a cam buckle.

Each end of this strap carries an 18 inch chain extension built from grade 70 transport chain, finished with a 3 inch D-ring and a clevis grab hook. Hooking directly to a rub rail or stake pocket keeps the chain away from the load while sparing the webbing itself from abrasion against hard edges. The webbing is woven from thicker yarn with more picks per inch than typical competitor straps and heat-sealed at the ends, and the ratchet and chain hardware carry a zinc finish to stand up to weather and repeated use.

Key Features

• 3 inch low-stretch polyester webbing matches the working load limit of a standard 4 inch ratchet strap with less bulk
• 18 inch grade 70 chain extension ends with a 3 inch D-ring and clevis grab hook
• Chain hardware keeps webbing off rub rails and stake pockets to reduce wear on the strap
• Thicker, higher-pick-count webbing with heat-sealed ends for abrasion, tear, and cut resistance
• Zinc-plated ratchet and chain hardware resist corrosion
• Meets FMCSA, DOT, CVSA, and WSTDA cargo securement guidelines, built to a 3:1 design factor
• Available in multiple lengths and colors

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.
