This light/medium-duty sliding ratchet strap is 1-1/4″ wide x 8′ long and works well for normal, everyday use. Each end includes a vinyl-coated S-hook to tie down your load. The molded handle makes for simple operation of the ratchet assembly. A velcro tie is included to hold extra webbing in place. This tie also allows for compact storage, when not in use, by keeping the sliding ratchet strap neatly rolled up and easily portable.
Unlike traditional ratchet straps, the ratchet on this assembly can slide into place wherever you need it. This makes it remarkably easy to tie down your load and ensure you have the leverage needed to tighten and secure your load in any situation. There is a switching latch that can be flipped to allow the webbing to flow freely to easily move the ratchet into place. Once in place, flip the switching latch to the locking position to securely lock the webbing in place.
Compliant with Industry Standards
All of our ratchet straps are tagged and stenciled with the working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.
Learn more about proper load handling and securement in the WSTDA safety bulletins.
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.”
