FAQs

What is the safe working load (SWL) for each strap in this kit?

Each strap in the VULCAN Complete Axle Strap Tie Down Kit - PROSeries has a safe working load of 3,300 lbs.

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

While designed for axle tie-downs, the components (ratchet straps and axle straps) can potentially be used for other securement tasks. However, always ensure the application and strap configuration are appropriate for the cargo and adhere to safe working load limits.

How do I clean the axle straps?

Clean the straps using a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the webbing.

What makes the PROSeries webbing different from standard webbing?

The PROSeries webbing is extra-thick, 2" wide, and features hard plastic edges for enhanced cut resistance. It also incorporates a Cordura wear pad for added durability and vehicle protection.

Are the ratchet buckles weather-resistant?

Yes, the ratchet buckles and end fittings in this kit are fully plated to resist the elements and corrosion.

What is the length of the ratchet straps included?

The kit includes four 8-foot snap hook ratchet straps.

What standards do these tie-down straps meet?

These straps meet DOT (Department of Transportation) and CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) specifications.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet strap is difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the webbing is not twisted or bunched up within the ratchet mechanism. Clean any debris from the ratchet gears. If the issue persists, inspect for damage to the ratchet.

Axle strap feels too short for the application

Utilize the 8' snap hook ratchet straps to gain additional reach. For very long distances or large vehicles, consider using extension straps if available and rated appropriately.

Webbing shows signs of fraying or wear

Immediately discontinue use of the strap. Replace any strap that exhibits cuts, significant abrasion, or fraying. Refer to safe working load limits and inspect regularly.

Snap hook does not securely attach to anchor point

Ensure the anchor point is of appropriate size and strength for the snap hook. Verify the hook is fully engaged and not catching on any obstructions. Use a rated D-ring or E-track fitting if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents scratching of delicate rims and damage to vehicle underbodies.
  • Durable construction with cut-resistant edges and wear pads for longevity.
  • Includes a variety of strap lengths and types for versatile use.
  • High safe working load capacity (3,300 lbs per strap).
  • Meets DOT and CVSA safety standards.
  • Plated hardware resists corrosion and environmental wear.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for axle tie-down applications; may not be ideal for all cargo types.
  • The 8' ratchet straps might offer limited reach for very large vehicles or trailers.
  • Requires proper understanding of tie-down techniques for optimal safety and effectiveness.
  • PROSeries webbing, while durable, requires careful handling to avoid excessive abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select appropriate axle strap length (22" or 36") based on the vehicle's axle and clearance.
  2. Wrap the axle strap around the vehicle's axle, ensuring the straps are positioned to avoid brake lines or other sensitive components.
  3. Attach the heavy-duty D-ring of the axle strap to the desired end fitting of the ratchet strap.
  4. Connect the snap hook of the ratchet strap to a secure anchor point on the trailer or transport vehicle.
  5. Use the ratchet mechanism to tighten the strap until secure, maintaining consistent tension across all tie-down points.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for securing vehicles via their axles. It is compatible with most standard axles on cars, trucks, and light commercial vehicles. Ensure your trailer or transport vehicle has suitable, load-rated anchor points for the snap hooks.

Care:

  • Inspect straps regularly for wear, cuts, or abrasion before each use.
  • Clean straps with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Store straps in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Ensure hardware is clean and free of debris to maintain proper function.
