Expert Answers about Chevrolet Ratchet Straps
- Ratchet Strap with Keepers Recommendation
- Keepers are basically metal prongs that are in the opening of the hook on the ends of the straps that act as a mechanism that helps secure the strap to the surface that they attach to. A lot of times when you are trying to use ratchet straps it is difficult to keep the hook of the strap from popping out of place when ratcheting. The keepers help prevent that by putting a little tension in the hook so it stays in place. See the picture to the right for more clarification.

- I have a solution for you, and you can use ratchet straps to support your boat once you have it in the air. However, we do not recommend raising or lowering the boat with ratchet straps. The ratchet straps are rated for use as tie-downs, not as lifts. Additionally, there is no safe way to control the speed at which the boat is lowered with the ratchet straps.

- You could indeed use ratchet straps to secure the cargo to the # Y07070 tray, but you'll want to show a little restraint when ratcheting down the straps. Tight is good, but I've seen folks actually bend their racks by tightening the straps too much. Once you get them good and snug, go no further. During your travels, be sure to stop occasionally to check that everything is still secure.

- The mechanism would have to be triggered for the straps in Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # 34414 to move. But with that said there is a better option for rough roads. The ShockStrap ratchet straps # 297-9RSDB are built with an in line shock that combats rough roads and keeps the strap tight and the load secure. I was skeptical at first but take a look at the video I have linked that demonstrates how it works.
view full answer... - Can Ratchet Straps Be Used with Erickson Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors
- The issue with using a stake pocket mount tie down, such as # EM09085, with a ratchet strap is that you can over tighten a strap and cause the tie down to pull out with some force and it could damage the truck or hit someone. If you made it snug but did not try to ratchet it down as hard as you could then it would be fine. The only video we have on this product is the short review video linked for reference.
