Common uses

Buyers use 2″ ratchet straps for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose 2″ ratchet straps

Pick the width and rating first: add up the WLL of every strap so the total is at least half the cargo weight, then choose an end fitting that matches your anchor points. Use edge protectors where webbing crosses sharp corners.

Working load limits in this section run from 1,100 lbs to 4,000 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Polyester (20 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• Natural Rubber (3 products) — Rubber stays flexible, grips well and resists weathering.
• Heavy-Duty 18 Oz (2 products)
• Superlight 14 Oz (1 product)
• Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Before you buy

• Add up the working load limits of all tie-downs against the cargo weight.
• Check that the end fitting matches the anchor points on your trailer.
• Make sure the length reaches over the load with tail left to tension.
