Types of Ratchet Straps

1-inch ratchet straps are perfect for powersport applications: hauling ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc. This size is also perfect as utility ratchet straps to tie down a wide range of cargo either on trailers or pickup beds.

2-inch ratchet straps are the standard for flatbed trailers. These are made in standard lengths or any custom length as needed. The hardware and color options make for nearly endless combinations.

3-inch and 4-inch ratchet straps are heavy tie downs with even greater capacity than 2-inch straps. These are used for heavy-duty hauling and can often mean you can secure cargo with less straps when compared to 2-inch ratchet straps.

Light-duty straps use smaller ratchets and are useful as an inexpensive tie down for light-weight cargo. Many of these work well as bundling straps to keep loose items together during transport. Endless loop bundling ratchet straps are available in heavier-duty styles as well.

L-track and E-Track Ratchet Straps

E-track ratchet straps are used in interior vans, box vans, and many types of trailers. These straps are designed to attach directly to E-track and are made in standard and custom sizes.

L-track ratchet straps attach directly into L-track, also referred to aircraft track. L-track has been steadily increasing in popularity for its usage in cargo vans, camper vans, and all types of trailers including auto haulers.

Specialty Ratchet Straps

Over many years of manufacturing ratchet straps, we've developed numerous industry or usage-specific tie downs. Some of the most common include: tent ratchet straps, off-roader ratchet straps, salt spreader ratchet straps, marine transom ratchet straps, and tree stand ratchet straps to name but a few.

How Do You Tighten a Ratchet Strap?

Step 1 - thread webbing through the mandrel's reel bars

TIP: Use a half-twist before threading your webbing as this will reduce wind vibration and strap wear.

Step 2 - remove excess slack. Too much slack when ratcheting will jam the ratchet with too much webbing

Step 3 - tighten by ratcheting, moving the lever up and down, so at least two full wraps of webbing go around the mandrel. This helps prevent the ratchet from coming undone.

TIP: When securing cargo, attach the ratchet fixed end to the passenger side of your trailer or vehicle. This way if you need to stop during transport to check or tighten your tie down you are not standing near traffic.
