2" x 8' Ratchet Strap Tie DownThis 2 inch ratchet strap is a staple in the transportation industry and is most commonly used to tie down cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles due to the shorter length and twisted snap hook hardware. The polyester straps are rugged yet soft to protect your cargo, and the ratcheting mechanism makes it simple to achieve a tight, secure hold. They are incredibly versatile, filling the gap between lightweight 1" straps and heavy-duty 4" straps. The polyester webbing offers superior strength with very little give, along with UV- and water-resistance. And, unlike cam straps, ratchets don't rely solely on operator strength, so you can add the perfect amount of tension to the strap.Quality-Focused Ratchet Strap ConstructionOur 2" tie down straps have a longer fixed end than most standard straps, positioning the ratchet further from the anchor point for better access. They also have a sewn loop built-in next to the ratchet for extra webbing - simply wrap up the excess strap and tuck it into the loop!Industrial-Grade WebbingThe yarn used to make our webbing is slightly thicker than that offered by most competitors, with more picks per inch used to create each strap. It's also heat-sealed on the end. Together, these features provide better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting, so your ratchet straps will last longer.Corrosion-Resistant Ratchet CharacteristicsZinc-coated ratchet component has a short, standard handle for working in tight spaces.Benefits of Twisted Snap Hook End HardwareTwisted snap hooks are ideal for auto tie downs, as they can easily connect with axle straps with D-rings. The twisted orientation of the flat hook offers better maneuverability and allows the strap to sit flat against your cargo. The spring-loaded keeper closes automatically, ensuring a secure connection. 10,000 lb.

Excessive wraps of webbing on the mandrel may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the web tie down and may interfere with proper operation."Additionally, they define design factor as the "ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit." The design factor is 3:1 for these tie down straps to build in a level of redundancy, accounting for unknown factors to keep you, your crew, and those around you safe.Comprehensive Cargo Securement SuppliesComplete your tie down system with strap protection, D-rings, axle straps, and other auto hauling supplies.California Residents: WARNING
