Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct recovery ratchet strap set is for individuals needing to safely transport vehicles on trailers. Its key benefit is the robust securing mechanism with wheel protection, ensuring vehicle stability during transit. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of the round slings, requiring proper understanding for optimal use. The kit features short, wide ratchet handles for easy tightening, high-visibility yellow webbing, and protective sheathing for alloy wheels, all made from durable 100% polyester.

FAQs

What is the length of the ratchet straps?

The webbing length for each ratchet strap is 4 meters.

What is the width of the webbing?

The webbing is 35mm wide.

What is the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of each strap?

The Minimum Breaking Load for each strap is 3 Tonne.

Are these straps suitable for securing loads other than vehicles?

While designed for vehicle recovery, they can be used for other loads provided the anchor points are suitable and the load does not exceed the 3 Tonne MBL. Always use appropriate securing methods for the load type.

How do the round slings protect alloy wheels?

The round slings are made of a soft material and are covered with a protective sheathing that prevents direct contact between the strap and the alloy wheel surface, thus avoiding scratches or damage.

What do the different colors of the slings indicate?

The purple color of the round slings indicates their lifting capacity and is a standard industry color coding, typically for a 3 Tonne Safe Working Load (SWL) which corresponds to the 3 Tonne MBL rating of the straps.

Are all components included in this set for immediate use?

Yes, the set includes 4 ratchet handles with webbing and hooks, 4 round slings with protective sheathing, and 4 tail ends with hooks, providing a complete kit for securing four points of a vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet handle is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the webbing is correctly threaded through the ratchet mechanism and is not twisted. Check for any obstructions within the ratchet gears.

Webbing does not hold tension.

Verify that the ratchet mechanism is fully engaged. Ensure the webbing is not slipping out of the ratchet. Inspect the webbing for damage that might prevent it from gripping.

Claw hook seems loose on the anchor point.

Ensure the anchor point is suitable and the claw hook is fully engaged around the point. For safety, use anchor points designed to hold the load.

Protective sheathing on round sling is damaged.

Do not use the round sling if the protective sheathing is compromised, as this could lead to damage to the wheel. Replace the sling if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify secure anchor points on the trailer and vehicle.
  2. Attach the claw hooks of the ratchet straps to these anchor points.
  3. Loop the round slings around the vehicle's wheels or designated chassis points, ensuring the protective sheathing covers the alloy surface.
  4. Thread the webbing through the ratchet mechanism.
  5. Use the short, wide ratchet handles to tighten the webbing until the vehicle is securely held. Ensure even tension across all straps.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for securing vehicles to trailers, transporters, and other flatbed systems with appropriate anchor points.
  • The 35mm width and 3-tonne MBL are generally suitable for cars, light vans, and similar vehicles. Always verify load requirements.
  • The round slings are designed for wheel or chassis attachment; ensure your vehicle has suitable points for their use.

Care:

  • Inspect straps, hooks, and slings for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage before each use.
  • Clean webbing with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Do not exceed the stated Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of 3 Tonne.
  • Ensure slings are positioned correctly to avoid abrasion on wheel rims.
