When finding the perfect tie down strap it is extremely important to match the correct weight of your cargo with the correctly rated tie down straps. You want to always make sure that your cargo is secured with straps that will not break during shipping. Loads that are lost during transpiration can cost transportation companies millions every year in claims, lost customers, and settlements.

You will want to refer to the Working Load Limit (WLL) of each Winch Strap to determine if it will be strong enough to secure your load. A working load limit takes 1/3 of the breaking strength or ultimate point of failure for the tie down strap to be rated at. An example of this would be a 10,000-pound breaking strength would result in a 3,333 lb. working load limit.

The main reason behind the working load limit being only 1/3 of the breaking strength is due to wiggle room to allow for hard braking, sudden lane changes, or other shifts in weight that could damage your cargo. The most important rule to follow is never exceeding the straps Working Load Limit when you are transporting any kind of cargo whether it is extremely light or extremely heavy.

These ratings were put in place by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in order to keep you and other motorists safe.
