Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used for overhead lifting?

No. These straps are specifically designed for securing cargo on vehicles and trailers and are not rated or safety-certified for overhead lifting.

What is the purpose of the soft loops?

Soft loops allow you to create an anchor point on your cargo or vehicle frame without metal hooks touching and potentially scratching the finish.

How long are the straps?

Each of the four included straps measures 4.6 meters in length.

Are the hooks weather resistant?

Yes, the hooks are plastic-coated to prevent scratching and provide a layer of protection against environmental elements.

How do I prevent the strap from fraying?

Avoid pulling the webbing over sharp or jagged metal edges. Use a protective sleeve or cloth barrier if you must go over a sharp corner.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is jammed

Ensure the handle is fully opened to the release position. Clear any bunched-up webbing from the spool and ensure the gear teeth are not obstructed by debris.

Strap will not release

If under extreme tension, use a flat-head screwdriver or a sturdy tool to gently pry the release lever while pulling the handle back to the release position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load capacity with 748kg break strength
  • Soft loops protect delicate mounting points
  • Rubber-coated handles ensure slip-free operation
  • Plastic-coated hooks minimize surface damage
  • Ample length for large cargo

Cons

  • Not rated for overhead lifting
  • Requires proper winding technique to avoid strap jamming
  • Requires manual storage to prevent webbing degradation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your straps, feed the webbing through the slot in the ratchet mandrel and pull the excess slack through before ratcheting. To maintain the life of the straps, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can weaken synthetic fibers. Periodically inspect the webbing for fraying, cuts, or chemical damage. If the straps become dirty, wash them with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely before rolling them up for storage. Never leave the ratchet mechanisms exposed to salt or corrosive chemicals to prevent rust.
