FAQs
What is the difference between Working Load Limit (WLL) and Break Strength?
The Working Load Limit (WLL) of 300 Lbs is the maximum weight the strap is safely recommended to hold during use. The Break Strength of 900 Lbs is the point at which the strap is likely to fail under tension.
Can these straps be used for overhead lifting?
No, these straps are designed for securing cargo and should not be used for overhead lifting applications.
How should I store the straps when not in use?
Store the straps loosely coiled or rolled in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and chemicals, to maintain their material integrity.
Are the straps weather-resistant?
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can degrade the material over time. It's recommended to inspect them regularly and store them properly.
What should I do if a strap is damaged?
If a strap shows signs of fraying, tearing, or damage to the ratchet mechanism or hooks, it should be immediately removed from service and replaced.
Can I use multiple straps for a heavier load?
Yes, you can use multiple straps to distribute the weight of a heavier load, but ensure each strap's WLL is not exceeded and that all anchor points are secure.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism is difficult to move
Ensure the strap is not twisted within the mechanism. Check for any debris or obstructions. Gently wiggle the handle while operating the release lever.
Strap does not tighten effectively
Verify that the strap is correctly threaded through the ratchet spool. Ensure the release lever is fully engaged when tightening. Check that the anchor points are secure.
Coated hooks show signs of wear
Minor cosmetic wear is normal. If the coating is significantly damaged or compromising the hook's integrity, discontinue use and replace the strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the coated "S" hooks to secure anchor points on your vehicle, trailer, or the item being secured.
- Thread the strap through the ratchet mechanism.
- Operate the ratchet handle up and down to tighten the strap until the desired tension is achieved. Ensure the strap is not twisted.
