4″ x 20’ Wire Hook Ergo Ratchet Straps
Load securement just got a whole lot safer and easier with our cutting-edge 4″ x 20′ reverse-action ratchet strap. Unlike traditional ratchets, this innovative strap tightens when you pull down, significantly reducing the effort required to achieve a secure hold.
An additional gear in the ratchet’s construction allows you to pull the ratchet handle down using your arms and body weight, eliminating the need to strain your back, neck, and shoulders by pushing up. This reduces the risk of injuries, promotes better posture, and ensures stable footing, particularly crucial in adverse weather conditions such as icy or snowy environments.
Reverse-Action Ratchet Strap Features
- Provides more gear clicks when the handle is in motion for superior tension control
- You can achieve nearly twice the tension on the strap with equal or less effort (tested in-house against a standard ratchet)
- Convenient side knob lets you spin the mandrel to eliminate strap slack, streamlining webbing take-up and release
Ratchet straps are a staple in the transportation industry – the polyester straps are rugged yet soft to protect your cargo, and the ratcheting mechanism makes it simple to achieve a tight, secure hold. The 4″ polyester webbing offers superior strength with very little give and, unlike cam straps, ratchets don’t rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.
HD Ratchet Strap Features
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 ratchet straps will last longer.
The wire hooks and the ratchet assembly have a protective zinc coating for corrosion- and weather-resistance.
Compliant with Industry Standards
All of our ratchet straps are tagged and stenciled with break strength and working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.

Why Choose Wire Hook End Hardware?
Wire hooks or double-J hooks are stronger and more durable than standard S-hooks. They are a versatile securement option and can even be used in applications where anchor point space is tight or the connection is harder to reach. They can easily attach to D-rings and other narrow anchor points.
Custom Ratchet Straps Available

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?
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.
