Optimal Direction of Pull When Using E Track
Question:
When useing E trac does it matter which direction tie down straps pull when mounted on floor. Should pull be the direction that trac runs or can pull be up to 90 degrees.
asked by: Nick H
Expert Reply:
In order to achieve the full capacity of the ratchet straps and the track, the direction of the pull should be parallel to the direction that the e track is running.
How much the capacity would be diminished by pulling 90 degrees to the side will depend on the weight of the load. If the load is close to the capacity of the straps, pulling out 90 degrees could damage the clip that locks the strap into the track or possibly damage the track itself.
