A ratchet strap, also known as a tie-down strap or cargo strap, is a tool used for securing and fastening loads during transportation or storage. It consists of a webbing strap, a ratchet mechanism, and hooks or fittings at each end. Ratchet straps are typically made of durable and high-strength materials like nylon or polyester webbing. These materials provide the necessary strength and resistance to withstand heavy loads and various weather conditions.Ratchet straps are widely used in industries such as transportation, logistics, moving, and construction. They are commonly employed to secure cargo on trucks, trailers, flatbeds, roof racks, or inside shipping containers. They can also be used for securing items during storage or for various tie-down applications.
The ratchet mechanism is the key component of a ratchet strap. It consists of a handle, a gear, and a pawl system. When the webbing strap is threaded through the ratchet, the handle is cranked to tighten the strap. The gear and pawl system prevent the strap from loosening, maintaining a secure and tight hold on the load.
