FAQs

What is the minimum breaking load (MBL) of each strap?

Each strap in this set has a minimum breaking load of 5000KG.

Are these straps suitable for all types of wheels?

The soft round sling straps are specifically designed to protect alloy wheels. For steel wheels, care should still be taken to avoid damage, though the protective feature is most critical for alloys.

How do I ensure I use the correct number of straps?

For secure vehicle transport on a trailer, it is recommended to use at least one strap on each wheel, totaling four straps for a standard vehicle. Ensure straps are tensioned appropriately and securely attached.

Can I use these straps for lifting or general towing?

No, these straps are specifically designed for load securing and vehicle recovery only. They are not suitable for lifting or general towing operations.

What is the factor of safety for these straps?

The factor of safety for these straps is 2:1, meaning the breaking strength is twice the intended working load limit.

How should I store the straps when not in use?

Store the straps in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, moisture, chemicals, and sharp objects. Ensure they are loosely coiled or hung to prevent kinking or undue stress on the webbing.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the webbing is not caught or twisted within the mechanism. Clean any debris from the ratchet gears and lubricate lightly with a silicone-based spray if necessary. Check for any signs of damage to the mechanism.

Strap appears worn or has small cuts.

Immediately cease use of the strap. Any signs of damage to the webbing, such as cuts, fraying, or significant abrasion, compromise its load-bearing capacity and safety. Replace the damaged strap or the entire set.

Snap hooks do not securely fasten.

Ensure the anchor point is suitable and free from obstructions. Check that the snap hook is fully engaged and the spring-loaded gate is closing correctly. If the hook is bent or damaged, it should not be used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents damage to alloy wheels with soft sling straps.
  • Easy to tighten and release due to wide ratchet handles.
  • High breaking strength (5000KG) ensures secure transport.
  • Includes all necessary components for immediate use.
  • Durable polyester material for longevity.

Cons

  • The full kit has a considerable weight (10.4kg), which may be a factor for some users.
  • Primarily designed for securing wheels; may require additional straps for chassis if not using wheel tie-down points.
  • Requires a basic understanding of ratchet strap operation for safe use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify secure anchor points on your trailer chassis and the vehicle's frame or designated recovery points.
  2. Wrap the soft round sling straps around the upper part of each alloy wheel, ensuring they fit snugly without excessive pressure.
  3. Attach the twisted snap hooks of the long ends of the ratchet straps to the trailer's anchor points.
  4. Connect the free end of the ratchet strap to the round sling strap on the wheel.
  5. Use the wide ratchet handle to incrementally tighten the strap until firm. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the wheel or strap.
  6. Repeat for all four wheels to ensure the vehicle is stable and secure.

Compatibility:

This set is compatible with most standard car trailers and vehicles, especially those with alloy wheels that require protection. The 50mm webbing and 5000KG MBL are suitable for a wide range of passenger vehicles.

Care:

  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect all straps, hooks, and ratchet mechanisms for signs of wear, cuts, abrasions, or damage.
  • Cleaning: Clean straps with cool, fresh water. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Drying: Allow straps to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources before storing.
  • Storage: Store straps in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects and chemicals. Ensure they are not kinked or twisted when stored.
