When it comes to trailer winch straps, they are one of the most essential pieces of tie-down equipment for ensuring the safety and stability of your cargo. Used in combination with winches and other related hardware, Force's 4" X 27' Purple Cargo Winch Strap With Flat Hook offers unmatched versatility and durability. The rugged polyester webbing offers very little stretch and is abrasion-, UV-, and water-resistant, making it ideal for a variety of harsh environments and conditions.

The yarn used to make our webbing is slightly thicker than that offered by most competitors, with more picks per inch used to create each strap. This, combined with the heat-sealed ends, provides better resistance to abrasion, tearing, and cutting, ensuring that your winch straps will last longer and perform better under pressure. The 27-foot length of this strap fits standard 4" winches, making it easy to use with a wide range of equipment.

Compliance with industry standards is crucial when it comes to tie-down equipment. All of our trailer winch straps, including the 4" X 27' Purple Cargo Winch Strap With Flat Hook, are tagged and stenciled with the working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards. This ensures that our products are safe and reliable for use in a variety of applications.

When it comes to end hardware, flat hooks are a reliable choice for most loads. The wide contact area of flat hooks helps to better distribute tie-down force, making them ideal for securing a variety of cargo. They also include a built-in defender to prevent webbing wear and tear and prolong the life of your strap. The black powder coat finish adds a touch of elegance and provides added protection from the elements.

If you're looking for a combination of length, color, or hardware that you don't see on our website, or if you want straps stenciled with your company name or logo, Force offers custom tie-down straps to meet your specific needs. Our team of experts can work with you to create a custom solution that fits your unique requirements.

When using winch straps, it's important to follow the guidelines set by the WSTDA. According to 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 of webbing on the mandrel may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the web tie-down and may interfere with proper operation.

Another important term to understand is design factor, which is defined by the WSTDA as the ratio of the breaking strength to the working load limit. For these tie-down straps, the design factor should be 3:1. This builds in a level of redundancy to account for unknown factors, ensuring the safety of you, your crew, and those around you.

In conclusion, Force's 4" X 27' Purple Cargo Winch Strap With Flat Hook is a durable, reliable, and versatile solution for securing cargo on flatbeds and other trailers. With its rugged polyester webbing, thicker yarn, and heat-sealed ends, this winch strap is designed to last and perform under pressure. Compliance with industry standards and a focus on safety make this product an excellent choice for anyone in need of high-quality tie-down equipment.
