  • Do SmartStraps Adjustable Toggle Ball Bungee Cords Have a WLL
  • According to my contact at SmartStraps, the Adjustable Toggle Ball Bungee Cords # 3484003 do not have a specified WLL (working load limit) rating. They are designed for very lightweight applications only (less than 20 lbs). For instance, to wrap up cords and hoses or secure tarps canopies or tents, as shown in the attached photos.

  • Actual Size of Carabiners on Erickson Bungee Cord with Aluminum Carabiners EM07037
  • I went to our warehouse and measured one of the Erickson Bungee Cord with Aluminum Carabiners # EM07037. The carabiners themselves each measure 2-3/4-inches long x 1-1/4-inches wide measured to their outside edges. The overall end-to-end length, unstretched, on the sample I measured was 19-3/4-inches. Since the actual length of this item might vary slightly from piece to piece the manufacturer specifies it as having a nominal length of 18-inches.

  • How to Carry a Ladder on the Back of an RV
  • The Camco Chair Rack for RV Ladders part # CAM51490 has a 60 lb weight capacity therefore so long as your Little Giant Ladder does not exceed this figure you will be good to go. I can't say we have any racks for a ladder that are designed to attach to another ladder so this might just be your best option. In order to secure the ladder I would just use some bungee cords like part # EM07037.

  • What Extra Straps Can I Use with My 2014 Nissan Versa Note?
  • I have a solution for you. The weight of the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 7 cu ft - 55" x 19-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB200 is about 6 pounds. As far as the straps, I saw from your previous orders that you ordered Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars # RRVA118B-2 from us. Usually, the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag is made to attach to the car's factory rail system. If your vehicle has a bare roof, we do not have a way to attach the side straps to your 2014 Nissan Versa Note's doors....

  • Diameter of Tie-Down Holes of Lets Go Aero H01465 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • The holes around the edge of the # H01465 Let's Go Aero BigBoss cargo carrier are 3/8 of an inch in diameter, so the S-hooks of some ratchet straps would fit. The sides of the carrier are pretty sturdy, but I could see how the carrier box could be deformed if the ratchets were ran down too aggressively. I'd say that the holes are more meant for bungee cords or a cargo net such as what's included with the # H01496 Cover/Cargo net. I'll link you to a product demonstration video featuring...

  • Can Inflatable Boat and Outboard Motor be Safely Carried on Aluminum Cargo Carrier on 2010 Mazda 3
  • Based on what you have described the aluminum carrier should have no problem handling the 200 pound estimated weight of the carrier and boat/motor combined. You will just need to make sure not to exceed the capacity of the trailer hitch on your 2010 Mazda 3. Since you are right at the hitch capacity it would be a good idea to stow the motor in the vehicle it at all possible. You can reduce the stress on the hitch receiver by also using a stabilization strap such as # 18050, or another...

  • How Much Weight Can Be Carried on Hitch Cargo Carrier on 2007 Pontiac Solstice
  • From your purchase records I see that you have purchased the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch 24833 is designed to fit your 2007 Pontiac Solstice and is no longer available. The trailer hitch has a Class I tongue weight rating of 200 pounds. Since Pontiac determined that your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer, there is no stated maximum tongue weight capacity for your Solstice in the owner's manual and any weight carried on the hitch will be carried at your own risk....
