2 Pieces Ratchet Strap With Hooks, Length 6 M, Width 3.8 Mm, Ratchet Tie Down Strap, Tensioning Straps, Supporting A

A load that shifts on the highway is a load that was never properly tied down. Ratchet straps beat cam buckles for one reason: the mechanism keeps drawing tension in after the slack is gone, and it holds what it takes up. This is a pair, polyester webbing, with steel S-hooks on both ends.

What the 2000 kg figure does and does not tell you

The supplier states a load capacity of 2000 kg and gives no basis whatsoever for it. Nothing says whether that is a breaking strength or a lashing capacity, whether it applies to one strap or to the pair, and no standard is named anywhere in the listing. Those are very different numbers in practice, and the gap between them is exactly where people get hurt. Treat 2000 kg as an unqualified supplier figure rather than a working load limit, and rig well inside it. If you need a documented capacity, buy webbing that carries a printed capacity label on the strap itself.

Polyester webbing and open steel hooks

Polyester is the right fibre for tie-downs because it stretches very little under tension, and webbing that gives is webbing that goes slack over corrugations. These are polyester with reinforced stitching at the sewn closures. The hooks are steel with wide openings, which is what lets them reach over a tray rail, a roof rack crossbar or a D-ring without a fight. Wide hooks also unhook easily the moment a strap loses tension, so keep them loaded and check every one of them at your first stop.

Length and width, as supplied

Two numbers need flagging. The title gives the length as 6 m; the supplier's own description gives 5.5 m. Both appear below as written, because there is no way to tell from the listing which one ships. The second is width: title and description both say 3.8 mm, which would be a shoelace rather than a load strap. That figure is reproduced as supplied rather than quietly corrected. Measure what arrives before you plan a load around either number.

Before you strap a load down

• These are tie-down straps, not recovery straps. The listing mentions recovery use; do not follow it. A ratchet strap has no controlled stretch, and a steel hook under a snatch load becomes a projectile.
• Vehicle recovery needs purpose-made recovery gear rigged to rated recovery points, and rated points only — never a tow ball, a tow bar tongue or a bumper.
• Inspect before every use. Cuts, fraying, burns, chemical staining, a bent hook or a ratchet that will not hold all mean the strap is retired. Webbing does not recover.
• Never join two straps with a shackle, and never knot webbing.
• Keep yourself and any bystanders clear of a strap under tension, and release the ratchet with your hands out of the path of the handle.
• Do not treat the 2000 kg figure as a working load limit. Its basis is not stated.
• Restraining a load on a public road is the driver's responsibility. Check the load restraint requirements that apply where you are driving.

Tie the load down, walk around it, and check it again after the first stretch of rough road.
