Elements of Ratchet Straps
January 23rd, 2012 by admin
Ratchet straps are simple tie down instruments that are comprised of a heavy duty polyester webbing and a buckle or fastening agent. They are used to safely secure cargo while it is in transit. These ratchet straps are used for a wide variety of transportation requirements from the domestic moving of furniture and belongings via personal vehicle, such as trucks, cars, motorcycles and ATVs, to professional moving situations such as moving companies, auto hauling companies and companies that specialize in expedited shipping services. While custom made ratchet straps are an option the most commonly manufactured forms come in 1” to 4” widths with weight ranges from 1,500 pounds to 20,000 pounds.
