- Ratchet Strap Recommendation that Can be Bolted Directly to the Trailer Frame
- I have an option that will work for you, but, the Erickson Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # EM04418 were not designed to be bolted to the frame of a trailer.

- Using a ratchet strap is fairly easy once you learn the basics. Play with the levers and releases before you start trying to strap something in. Learn how the devices work, and how to use it should become clear.
If you think of the ratchet as a jaw, you would open it up to 180 degrees. Slide the strap through the slotted spool. Pull most of the slack out, but leave some because the ratchet will need some strap to start an even wrap on the spool. Make sure you keep the straps straight...

- If the Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks # EM98CV are all coming loose, there is definitely something odd going on.
First thing you will need to check is the release levers. You will need to make sure they are not staying in the release position once everything is tightened down. If they are, it would definitely explain why they are coming loose. This should also be pretty apparent as when you are lifting the ratchet handle, it should not be clicking...

- I will be happy to help. The reason that there is that triangle ring portion on the Bulldog ratcheting tie down straps # BDW20230 is so it can attach to a vehicle axle. But you can use just the hook portion to attach to something and not use the triangle ring part if needed and not suffer reduced capacity. I have linked a video featuring these straps for you.

view full answer... - Do Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, Part # EM34417, Automatically Retract
- The Erickson Retractable Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps, part # EM34417, use high strength polyester straps that measure 1 inch wide by 9 feet long.
The extra strap length will retract onto the storage hub when the red button (located under the ratcheting handle) is pressed. The auto-retract function is spring operated.
Depending on the load you are securing you may want to consider the Erickson Chrome-Protector Sleeves, part # EM06305-2. These easily slip over the straps and can be positioned...
view full answer... - Can Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps be Installed Directly to Trailer Frame
- There is a hole in the bracket for the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases # EM34416 that can be used to mount it directly to a trailer, but it does look like that might be a little difficult to do and one of our reviews we received backs that up.
If you'd rather go with something that's a little easier to install directly to the frame then I recommend the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800. These are 6' long though so they are a little...
view full answer... - Can Self-Retracting Feature of Fulton F2 Retractable, Ratchet Transom Tie-Downs be Paused
- There is a way to pause the self-retracting feature of the Fulton F2 Retractable, Ratchet Transom Tie-Downs # F72FV. If you have the dual-release level in the up position the ratchet strap acts as any other strap would and it remains in place. If you press that dual-release lever down then the self-ratcheting feature takes over and removes all of the slack out of the strap.
I've attached a review video that shows this action near the start for you to check out!

- The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY94FR comes with the red strap for added security. It is basically an extra means of security when trying to keep the bikes tight to the carrier and reduce any movement. It technically does not need to be used, but I do recommend using it especially when you have 2 bikes loaded. I attached a short demonstration video which shows the strap being used, but you can see our demonstration person mentions...

- The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Strap # IMF18804 that you referenced does not have the ability to swivel when it is out of the housing.

I believe the video you referenced is actually one that covers several strap options as an overview.
I attached an install video for these straps for you to check out that shows how the strap installs on a dirt bike and carrier.

- Yes, the Buyers Products Trailer Hand Winch - 800 lbs # 337HW800S has a ratchet and free spool function. The linked video will display how it operates.
I do however recommend looking at the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - TUFFPLATE Finish - Single Speed - 1,100 lbs # DL15103. They are better built and will last long. It does not come with a strap though and you will need to get one if you wish to go with this product.
