Ratchet Strap Hooks

A ratchet strap hook is the end part of a fastening device — a tie-down strap. The strap is made of a polymer webbing, a ratchet mechanism is used for tensioning, and the hooks are secured to a strong section of the structure being fastened. Because of the flat shape of the strap, the hook is made as a flattened element with no sharp parts — otherwise the webbing would wear through.

Design

To reduce costs and increase production speed, the hook is made from durable steel rod by bending. Hooks are produced in various sizes, designed for different loads and strap sizes. The material used is structural steel with high mechanical properties.

An anodized coating is applied to increase corrosion resistance. Zinc coating is used less often, since the element is not designed for long-term service.

The products are certified in accordance with state regulatory documents.

An end link may be used instead of a hook. These products are used with flat woven multi-layer webbing.

How to choose?

A hook is selected based on strength, reliability, and the size of the opening for securing the strap. Depending on the application, hooks made of structural or high-strength steel are used — they differ in strength and reliability.

During use, the load on the hook must not be exceeded. The width of the fabric or polymer webbing must be taken into account, and a strength margin of at least 100% relative to the hook should be maintained for the strap.
