2″ x 6′ Tow Truck Ratchet Strap
Our ratchet tow straps are the perfect solution for hauling car and other motor vehicles with varying frame types, with the versatile RTJ cluster hook that can connect to the three most common styles.
Quality-Focused Towing Ratchet Strap Construction
Our 2″ tow truck straps have a longer fixed end than most standard straps, positioning the ratchet further from the anchor point for better access. They also have a sewn loop built-in next to the ratchet for extra webbing – simply wrap up the excess strap and tuck it into the loop!
Industrial-Grade Webbing
The yarn used to make our webbing is slightly thicker than that offered by most competitors, with more picks per inch used to create each strap. It’s also heat-sealed on the end. Together, these features provide better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting, so your auto tow straps will last longer.
Corrosion-Resistant Ratchet Characteristics
Zinc-coated ratchet component has a long, wide handle and a smooth grip. These features combine to allow for easier strap tensioning.
Tow Strap End Hardware Compatibility
This ratchet tow strap comes with an RTJ cluster hook. RTJ hooks combine three hooks into one chain ring, each with its purpose when it comes to towing vehicles with different frame designs:
- R Hook – Ford Vehicles
- T Hook – GM and Chrysler Vehicles
- J Hook – Foreign Vehicles
It also comes with an 18-inch Grade 70 chain extension with grab hook for easy attachment to your truck or trailer. Chain ends allow you to combine the strength of transport chain with the softness of polyester webbing. You can use the rub rails or stake pockets to tie down your cargo without risking damage to the webbing part of the strap. The extra length lets you wrap around your stake pocket, which is best practice. This not only provides a better, more secure hold, but also gives you the full working load limit of the stake pocket. It has a 2″ D-ring, a 14-1/2″ chain, and a clevis grab hook for quick and secure connections.
10,000 lb. Tie Down Strap Industry Compliance
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.
Custom Tie Down Straps Available
Looking for a combination of length, color, hardware you don’t see on the website? Want straps stenciled with your company name or logo? We also offer custom tie down straps. We can create the ideal strap for your application at our Iowa manufacturing facility – this not only allows us to hold all of our straps to the same high quality standards, but it also means fast shipping to you!
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.”
What is Design Factor?
According to 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.
