Ratchet Straps come in a variety of sizes such as 1”, 2”, 3”, and 4”. The most common strap sizes are 2” and 4” with 1” not far behind. RatchetStraps.com has straps for almost every application and can custom make them to fit your needs.
The most popular size straps are 1” and 2” for the typical user and 2” and 4” for the flatbed trucker. The main thing you want to look at when choosing a strap is the weight limit that you need the strap to hold. 1” straps can be rated at 500 pounds, 833 pounds, and 1,100 pounds for working load limit depending on the type of assembly you choose, and are commonly used for
motorcycle tie downs,
treestands straps,
packaging and sipping purposes, and many other everyday applications. 2” straps are rated at 915 pounds, 1,466 pounds, and 3,335 pounds working load limit depending on the assembly and are more commonly used for flatbed trucking, many home applications, and for common ratcheting tie downs. With a ratchet that is a foot long and weighing about 8 pounds, the 3” and 4” ratchet straps are for heavy duty flatbed trucking and heavy hauling almost exclusively. These straps are rated at 5,000 pounds, 5,400 pounds, and 5,670 pounds working load limit depending on the assembly and are the strongest ratchet straps available.
Furthermore, tie downs can be categorized by what attachment point you may need. Common attachments for ratchet straps are the vinyl s-hook, wire hook (double j-hook), flat hooks, and snap hooks. However, they are not limited to these hooks. We can make straps with a lot of attachments and multiple attachments if need be. Car tie downs commonly use snap hooks along with axle straps for security and strength, while many home uses would merit the use of the s-hooks or even just loops sewn into the ends.
