FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of each ratchet tie-down?

Each ratchet tie-down has a Maximum Rated Load (MRL) of 2000kg.

What types of wheels are the choker straps compatible with?

The set includes soft alloy wheel choker straps and steel choker straps, designed to fit most standard alloy and steel wheels.

How do I prevent the ratchet from releasing accidentally?

The ratchet features a double-locking mechanism. Ensure the handle is fully engaged in the locked position. Release tension only when intentional.

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

Yes, the ratchet tie-downs and securing straps can be used for various cargo, provided the load does not exceed the 2000kg MRL per strap and appropriate anchor points are used.

What is the length and width of the main tie-down straps?

The main ratchet tie-down straps are 3 meters in length and 50mm in width.

How should I store the tie-down set?

The set comes with a tough, zipped nylon storage bag. Store all components inside the bag in a dry location to protect them from the elements and maintain their condition.

What should I do if a strap is damaged?

If any strap or component shows signs of wear, cuts, fraying, or damage, it should not be used. Replace the damaged part to ensure safety and reliability.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is difficult to operate.

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the ratchet. Check for any debris or obstructions within the ratchet mechanism. Light lubrication may help if it is stiff.

Strap not holding tension.

Verify that the double-locking mechanism is fully engaged. Ensure the webbing is not slipping inside the ratchet. Inspect the webbing for damage that might prevent a secure grip.

J-hook feels insecure.

Ensure the J-hook is attached to a designated, strong anchor point. The hook should seat properly without wobbling. If the anchor point is compromised, do not use.

Webbing shows signs of fraying.

Immediately discontinue use of the strap. Frayed webbing indicates significant wear and can compromise the load capacity and safety. Replace the affected strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Securely attach the J-hook end of the ratchet tie-down to a fixed anchor point on your trailer or vehicle.
  2. Thread the webbing through the wheel choker strap or directly around the vehicle's frame or designated securement point.
  3. Feed the webbing into the ratchet mechanism.
  4. Operate the ratchet handle up and down to tighten the webbing. Ensure the webbing is taut but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the vehicle or the strap.
  5. Confirm the double-locking mechanism is engaged on the ratchet handle.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for securing cars, light trucks, and similar vehicles on trailers or vans. The wheel choker straps are suitable for most standard alloy and steel wheels. Always ensure your anchor points are strong enough to bear the load.

Care:

  • Inspect straps and ratchets for wear, cuts, or damage before each use.
  • Clean webbing and steel components with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the set in the provided nylon bag in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and degradation of the webbing.
  • Do not use straps that show signs of damage. Replace any worn or compromised components.
