Product Information

Full details

This guide is for motorsport enthusiasts and anyone needing to secure motorcycles or similar loads. The Apico Ultra Heavy Duty Tie Down Strap offers reliable and robust load security thanks to its strong webbing and durable cam-lever buckle. A potential caveat is that its heavy-duty nature might be overkill for lighter loads where simpler straps suffice.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of these straps?

The nylon webbing has a breaking strength of 2900lb (approximately 1315kg). Always ensure the load weight is well within the strap's safe working limits and consider the strength of your anchor points.

Can I use these straps for securing general cargo, not just motorcycles?

Yes, these straps are suitable for securing various loads where robust tie-downs are needed, such as in trucks, vans, or trailers, provided suitable anchor points are available.

Are the hooks coated to prevent scratching?

Yes, both the snap-on hook and the loop hook are vinyl-coated to help protect the surface of the item being secured and the anchor points from scratches.

How do I adjust the tension on the strap?

Tension is adjusted by pulling the free end of the webbing through the cam-lever buckle until the strap is taut. To release, lift the cam lever slightly.

What is the length of each strap?

Each strap is 1.8 meters (approximately 5.5 feet) long.

Do these straps come in different colors?

This specific model, TIEDOWN API HD, is typically supplied in a standard color. Please check product listings for available color options if applicable.

How many straps are included in a set?

These tie-down straps are supplied as a pair, meaning you receive two straps.

Troubleshooting

Strap not holding tension

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the cam-lever buckle and lies flat. Check for any debris obstructing the buckle's mechanism. Pull the free end of the webbing firmly to engage the cam.

Hook difficult to attach

Verify that the anchor point is suitable and not obstructed. The vinyl coating is designed for protection and grip; ensure no damage to the hook itself.

Webbing fraying or showing wear

Immediately discontinue use and replace the strap. Frayed webbing compromises safety and load security.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength and durability for heavy loads.
  • Secure and easy-to-use cam-lever buckle.
  • Versatile attachment options with snap-on and loop hooks.
  • Wide webbing distributes pressure effectively.
  • Designed for demanding motorsport environments.

Cons

  • May be unnecessarily robust for lighter items.
  • The heavy-duty buckle mechanism can be slightly bulkier than basic ratchet straps.
  • Requires careful alignment of webbing to avoid slippage in the cam lock.
  • Longer than some standard tie-downs, which could be a minor inconvenience for storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the item to be secured (e.g., motorcycle).
  2. Attach one vinyl-coated hook or snap-on hook to a sturdy anchor point on the item and the other to a solid anchor point on the transport vehicle or trailer.
  3. Thread the webbing through the 35mm pressure plate cam-lever buckle.
  4. Pull the free end of the webbing to tighten the strap until the desired tension is achieved. Ensure the webbing lies flat within the cam mechanism.
  5. Repeat with the second strap for balanced securing.

Compatibility:

These straps are highly compatible with most motorcycles, ATVs, and other motorsport equipment requiring secure transport. They are designed to connect to standard vehicle tie-down points, trailer frames, and motorcycle chocks.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the webbing for signs of wear, fraying, or cuts. Do not use if damaged.
  • Keep the cam-lever buckle clean from dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
  • Clean the webbing with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the straps in a dry place when not in use to prevent degradation.
