Our 2 X 8' Black Car Tie Down Ratchet Strap with Twisted Snap Hooks is a mainstay in the transportation industry, renowned for its effectiveness in securing cars, motorcycles, and various other vehicles. Its shorter length and twisted snap hook hardware make it an ideal choice for these applications. Crafted from rugged yet soft polyester, these straps offer superior protection for your cargo while ensuring a tight and secure hold through the efficient ratcheting mechanism. They strike the perfect balance between lightweight 1" straps and heavy-duty 4" straps, providing unmatched versatility.

Premium Polyester Webbing for Strength and Durability
The polyester webbing of our tie-down straps boasts exceptional strength with minimal stretch, combined with UV- and water-resistance to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Unlike cam straps, our ratchet straps don't rely solely on operator strength, allowing you to apply the precise amount of tension needed for a secure fit. The yarn used in our webbing is thicker than most competitors', with a higher pick count per inch, ensuring better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting. Additionally, the ends are heat-sealed for added durability.

Enhanced Fixed End for Better Access and Usability
Our 2" tie-down straps feature a longer fixed end compared to standard straps, positioning the ratchet further from the anchor point for enhanced accessibility. A sewn loop adjacent to the ratchet provides a convenient way to store excess strap, simply wrap it up and tuck it into the loop for a tidy appearance.

Corrosion-Resistant Zinc-Coated Ratchet Mechanism
The zinc-coated ratchet component is equipped with a short, standard handle, making it suitable for use in tight spaces. This corrosion-resistant design ensures long-lasting performance and reliability, even in harsh environments.

Twisted Snap Hooks for Easy and Secure Connections
The twisted snap hooks on our straps are perfect for auto tie-downs, as they can effortlessly connect with axle straps featuring D-rings. The twisted orientation of the flat hook offers superior maneuverability and ensures the strap lies flat against your cargo. The spring-loaded keeper closes automatically, providing a secure and reliable connection.

This tie-down strap is tagged with its working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.

Ratchet Use Guidelines and Safety Tips
According to the WSTDA (section 4.6.8), when using web tie-downs with a winch or ratchet, a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 wraps of webbing should be wound on the winch or ratchet mandrel. Excessive wraps may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the tie-down and interfere with proper operation. Always follow these guidelines to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your tie-down system.

Understanding Design Factor
The design factor, as defined by the WSTDA, is the ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit. For our tie-down straps, this ratio is 3:1, providing a built-in level of redundancy to account for unknown factors and ensure the safety of you, your crew, and those around you.
