What Is A Ratchet Strap?

How to Use Ratchet Tie Down Straps?

Before using your ratchet strap, it is crucial to inspect it for any signs of damage. Check the webbing for frays, tears, or excessive wear. Ensure that the metal parts, such as the hooks and ratchet mechanism not bent or rusted.

Thread the strap through the middle of the mandrel. Take the free end of the strap and thread it through the open slot at the bottom of the ratchet. Pull the strap through until you have enough length to reach your anchor points. Ensure the strap is not twisted and lies flat.

Attach the tie down hooks to secure anchor points on your vehicle, trailer, or transport equipment. The hooks should attached to fixed, stable points that can handle the pressure of the load. Make sure the hooks are securely fastened to prevent slipping.

When you’re ready to unfasten your ratchet strap, simply pull the trigger, lift the handle and lock it into the release gate so that the ratchet lever opens.
