What do you know about Tie Down Straps?

Tie down straps are known as cargo straps and are widely used in securing cargo during transportation and shipping. They can be divided into different types, such as ratchet straps, cam buckle straps, and winch straps.

Tie down straps is used for secure the cargo during transportation in order to keep the load safe, the tie down strap can be provided in different sizes, we have 1 inch tie down straps, 2 inch tie down straps, 3 inch tie down straps and 4 inch tie down straps for your options. We use the polyester blend of the material of tie down strap, due to this material can provide great strength with durability and very little stretching.

Stretching is a very important feature in cargo securement applications because securing the cargo and moving on the road does not allow webbing material to have too much stretching, which will cause danger while moving. The polyester webbing can provide enough strength to the cargo and firmly secure the cargo in place during transportation.

Polyester webbing is also great for other features, such as can be used in extreme hot and cold weather, against UV light, and last longer than other materials.

Different Types of Tie Down Straps

Ratchet straps is the most common tie down straps that are used for cargo securement and can be used in most application that need to secure the cargo in place. The ratchet strap is heavy duty enough, so you don’t need to worry about your loads will come loose.

The ratchet hardware is also easy to tighten and loosen the tie down webbing. Once you arrive at the destination and unload the cargo, the strap can be ready immediately for the next shipment.

Cam buckle straps are widely used by green hand shippers and professional movers, since this strap is easier to operate than ratchet straps and tightens the webbing only by the strength of your hand, so you will never worry about over-tightening.

The cam buckle tie down straps are used for securing fragile or high-value cargo, especially they can be not replaced. If you are just transporting lightweight cargo, the cam buckle straps are enough for you, since the strap is more cost-effective than the ratchet straps.

Flatbed winch straps are designed for secure the cargo at the back of the flatbed trailer and also use polyester webbing as the raw material, they are strong and durable enough to secure the heavy duty cargo.

Different from the ratchet straps and cam buckle straps, the winch straps do not have any ratchet hardware or cam buckle hardware, they work with the winch which is already installed along the side of the flatbed. Another reason makes the winch strap become the popular strap among the flatbed driver, that is if your old strap is broken and need to replace, the cost of the strap is much cheaper than the ratchet strap.
