The load capacity of ratchet tie-downs can range from a few hundred pounds (e.g., 300 lbs) to several thousand pounds (e.g., 10,000 lbs or more) depending on the type and size of the tie-down. It is crucial to select the appropriate tie-down with a load rating that exceeds the weight of the cargo being secured.

    Light-duty ratchet tie-down: This type of tie-down is suitable for smaller loads and typically has a load capacity of around 300 to 500 pounds (approximately 136 to 227 kilograms). They are commonly used for securing lightweight items during moving or for securing equipment on small trailers.

    Medium-duty ratchet tie-down: Medium-duty tie-downs have a higher load capacity, usually ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 pounds (approximately 454 to 1,361 kilograms). They are suitable for securing medium-sized loads, such as furniture, machinery, or heavier equipment.

    Heavy-duty ratchet tie-down: Heavy-duty tie-downs are designed for securing larger and heavier loads. Their load capacity can range from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds (approximately 2,268 to 4,536 kilograms) or even more. These tie-downs are commonly used for securing heavy machinery, construction materials, or vehicles during transportation.

    Professional-grade ratchet tie-down: Some specialized tie-downs, often used in commercial or industrial settings, can have even higher load capacities, reaching up to 20,000 pounds (approximately 9,072 kilograms) or more. These heavy-duty tie-downs are engineered for specific applications requiring extreme strength and reliability.

Load capacity of a ratchet tie-down set is an essential consideration when selecting the appropriate tie-down for your needs. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines to ensure you choose a tie-down that can safely handle the weight of your cargo. Additionally, consider the length and material of the tie-down, as well as the type of hooks or end fittings, to ensure secure and reliable cargo securement.
