A load that shifts on the highway becomes everybody's problem. These are ratchet tie-downs for holding freight down on a tray, a trailer or a roof rack — furniture, camping gear, timber, the kind of load that has to be pulled tight and then stay tight for four hundred kilometres. They are cargo restraints, and that is the whole of what they are.

Not recovery gear, and never to be used as it

This goes first because the mistake is common and it kills people. A cargo tie-down is built to be tensioned slowly against a load that is not moving. It is not a snatch strap, not a tow strap and not a winch extension. Never use one to recover a bogged vehicle, never tow with one, never run one off a winch drum, and never join two together with a shackle. Recovery is a dynamic load many times higher than anything a restraint is designed for, and the hardware becomes a projectile the moment it lets go.

The one load figure, and what it does not tell you

The supplier gives a single number: 500 pounds. That is all of it. No basis has been published — whether that is a working load limit or a minimum breaking strength, and whether it applies to one strap or to a set, is simply not stated. Those are not interchangeable figures, and a breaking strength is never a capacity to work to. No standard is named either, so nothing here is rated, certified or tested to anything we can point you at. Take 500 pounds as an unqualified supplier figure, work well below it, and ask us if the basis matters to your job.

Webbing and hardware

Polyester webbing, a ratchet at one end and hooks at the other, which is the standard arrangement for good reason. The ratchet gives you leverage to pull tension in and a pawl to hold it there, rather than relying on friction the way a cam buckle does. Polyester is the usual webbing for restraint because it stretches very little under load — precisely the opposite of what a recovery strap is designed to do. Length, width, hook style and how many straps come in a set have all gone unpublished, which is a genuine gap when you are matching straps to anchor spacing.

Key features

• Ratchet tensioning: pulls the strap tight by leverage and holds it, so it does not need re-tensioning at every stop.
• Polyester webbing: low stretch under load, which is what stops a restrained load creeping.
• Hook ends: attach to a tray rail, trailer eye or anchor point.
• Green and white: supplied in the colour named in the title; this listing carries no colour selector.

Before you load up

• Inspect every strap before each trip. Retire any showing cuts, fraying, chemical staining, heat glazing or a damaged ratchet — webbing damage does not repair.
• Anchor to rated tie-down points on the vehicle or trailer, never to bodywork, light brackets, trim or a tow ball.
• Do not join two straps together with a shackle.
• Never use these to snatch, tow or winch a vehicle.
• Load restraint on Australian roads is set by the regulator, not by us. Satisfy yourself that your load is restrained to the requirements that apply to you.

Send us your tray or trailer dimensions and we will chase the supplier for strap length and pack quantity before you order.
