Exceptional Features of the Force 3" Ratchet Strap
Our 3" ratchet straps are made with yarn that is slightly thicker than most competitors' offerings, with more picks per inch used to create each strap. This, combined with heat-sealed ends, provides better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting, ensuring that your ratchet straps will last longer. The flat hook end fittings have a black powder coating that not only looks sharp but also adds protection from the elements. The high-quality ratchet assembly is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and features a long, wide handle that is easy to grip for fast tensioning.

Industry Compliance and Safety Standards
All of our ratchet straps, including the Force 3 X 30' Yellow Ratchet Strap With Flat Hooks, are tagged and stenciled with break strength and working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards. We recommend reviewing WSTDA safety bulletins for proper load handling and securement guidelines.

The Advantages of Flat Hook End Hardware
Flat hooks are a reliable choice for most loads due to their wide contact area, which better distributes tie-down force. They also come with a built-in defender to prevent webbing wear and tear, prolonging the life of your strap. However, if you don't have a railing to clamp onto or your anchor point space is limited, flat hooks might not be the best choice for your application.

Custom Tie-Down Solutions
At Force, we understand that every cargo securement need is unique. That's why we offer custom tie-down straps, allowing you to choose a combination of length, color, or hardware that fits your specific requirements. We can even stencil your company name or logo on the straps for added branding.

Ratchet Use and Safety Guidelines
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 of the web tie-down and interfere with proper operation. Additionally, the design factor, defined as the ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit, should be 3:1 for these tie-down straps. This ensures a level of redundancy to account for unknown factors, keeping you, your crew, and those around you safe.
