Ratchet Straps FAQs
What are ratchet straps used for?
Ratchet straps secure cargo to a trailer, vehicle bed or pallet during transit, using a ratchet mechanism to tension the strap and stop the load shifting.
How much are ratchet straps?
Price depends on length, width and load rating - a light-duty strap for smaller loads costs considerably less than a long, heavy-duty strap rated for several tonnes. Browse the range below for current pricing on each option.
What load rating ratchet strap do I need?
Choose a strap rated well above the weight of your load, not just equal to it, and always use enough straps across a load to share the restraint. If you're unsure, it's safer to size up.
What end fittings are available on ratchet straps?
Common options include claw hooks, S-hooks and D-rings, each suited to different anchor points. Check which fitting matches the anchor points on your trailer or vehicle before ordering.
How do I use a ratchet strap correctly?
Feed the loose end of the strap through the ratchet spool, pull it tight by hand, then use the ratchet handle to tension it fully. To release, pull the release catch or lever before opening the ratchet, rather than forcing it open under tension.
When should a ratchet strap be replaced?
Replace a strap if the webbing is frayed, cut, chemically damaged or stitching has come loose, or if the ratchet mechanism or hook is bent, cracked or doesn't lock securely.
Do you supply wear sleeves and chokers to use with ratchet straps?
Yes, wear sleeves protect the webbing from abrasion at sharp load edges, and chokers give you a wraparound point where a hook can't be used directly.
