A 3" winch strap splits the difference between standard 2" straps and bulkier 4" options, giving flatbed crews the holding capacity of a wider strap in a package with less bulk to coil and store. Built for flatbeds and other trailers that rely on 3" winches, this strap pairs polyester webbing with a chain extension end, letting you combine chain's strength at rub rails and stake pockets with webbing's softness everywhere else on the load.

The webbing resists stretch, abrasion, UV exposure, and water, using thicker yarn and more picks per inch than many competing straps along with heat-sealed ends to resist fraying. On the hardware end, the chain extension uses 3/8" grade 70 transport chain, 18" long, with a 3" D-ring and a clevis grab hook for a fast, secure connection into a stake pocket or rub rail, delivering the stake pocket's full working load limit instead of leaning on the webbing alone. It's tagged and stenciled to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards, with a 3:1 design factor, and it's available in multiple lengths and colors.

Winch 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."

What is Design Factor?

Another term defined by the WSTDA, design factor is the "ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit" and should be 3:1 for these tie down straps. This builds in a level of redundancy to account for unknown factors, keeping you, your crew, and those around you safe.
