Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct Recovery Ratchet Strap Set is designed for individuals and professionals involved in vehicle recovery, specifically for securing vehicles to trailers. Its key benefit is the protection of alloy wheels during transport, thanks to the included round slings. A potential caveat is that the user must ensure proper tensioning to avoid over-tightening. The kit includes four ratchet handles, four long ends with claw hooks, and four round slings, all made with 100% polyester webbing, offering a minimum breaking load of 3 tons.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the minimum breaking load (MBL) of these straps?

The minimum breaking load for each strap in this set is 3 tons (3000 KGS).

Can these straps be used for lifting?

No, these straps are designed exclusively for load securing and vehicle recovery, not for lifting operations.

How do I use the round slings with alloy wheels?

The round slings are designed to be looped around the spokes of your alloy wheel. The claw hooks then attach to your trailer's anchor points, ensuring no metal directly contacts the wheel's surface.

What is the safety factor of these straps?

The straps are manufactured with a safety factor of 2:1, meaning they are designed to be twice as strong as their rated load capacity under ideal conditions.

How many straps are included in this kit?

This kit includes 4 ratchet handles, 4 long ends with claw hooks, and 4 round slings.

What material is the webbing made from?

The webbing is made from 100% high-strength polyester.

Are certificates of conformity included?

Yes, each strap comes with an individual certificate of conformity.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is difficult to operate

Ensure the webbing is feeding smoothly and is not twisted or caught. Check for any debris in the ratchet mechanism and clean if necessary. Ensure the strap is not over-tightened to its limit.

Straps are not holding tension

Verify that the webbing is correctly threaded through the ratchet mechanism. Check for any damage to the webbing or ratchet. Ensure you are ratcheting in the correct direction to tighten.

Round sling appears to be slipping on the wheel

Re-position the round sling to ensure it is seated securely around the wheel spokes. Check that the sling is not excessively worn or damaged. Ensure the claw hook is attached to a solid anchor point and that the webbing is properly tensioned.

Webbing shows signs of fraying or cuts

Immediately discontinue use of the strap. Damaged webbing compromises safety and load capacity. Replace the affected strap or the entire kit if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects alloy wheels from scratches and damage with soft round slings.
  • Ample 6-meter length provides flexibility for various vehicle and trailer sizes.
  • High breaking load of 3 tons ensures secure and safe vehicle transport.
  • Wide ratchet handles offer improved grip and ease of use during tensioning.
  • Includes certificates of conformity for added assurance of quality and safety.

Cons

  • Requires careful tensioning to avoid over-tightening and potential damage to suspension components.
  • Not designed for lifting applications, strictly for load securing.
  • Round slings may require re-adjustment on certain wheel designs.
  • Webbing can be susceptible to abrasion if dragged over sharp edges during setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the vehicle securely on the trailer.
  2. Thread the round sling around the spokes of the alloy wheel, ensuring it rests evenly.
  3. Attach the claw hook of the long end to a designated, strong anchor point on the trailer or recovery vehicle chassis.
  4. Feed the webbing through the ratchet mechanism on the handle.
  5. Ratchet the handle until the webbing is taut and the vehicle is securely held. Avoid excessive force that could damage the suspension.
  6. Ensure all four straps are applied evenly and securely.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard trailers, car transporters, and recovery vehicles with suitable anchor points.
  • Suitable for use with vehicles featuring alloy wheels due to the included round slings.
  • Ensure anchor points on the trailer are rated for the load being transported.

Care:

  • Inspect straps for wear, cuts, or abrasion before each use.
  • Clean webbing with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store straps in a dry, clean location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure straps are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
