  • Recommendations of Ratchet Tie-Downs with Coated Handle for Use on a Kayak
  • I recommend a tie-down strap that has a nice handle to tighten the kayak down. Also, a nice feature to have is the retractable, ratcheting tie-downs with the push button release.

  • Is There a Longer Strap for the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps
  • The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps like part # IMF18800 come with a 6' long strap. This is the longest strap available for these tie-downs as if you are using them for what they are designed for, which is to mount on the frame and attach to the tie-down point on the boat, the distance should never exceed 6'. That said, we do have a very similar option available in a longer length, the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps part # EM34417 which come in 9' and are more designed...

  • What Bow and Transom Straps do You Recommend for My 7,000 Pound Boat?
  • The purpose of boat tie-downs is to secure the lightest object to the heaviest object. For example, if your boat weighs 7,000 pounds and your trailer weighs 2,000 pounds, you want to choose a strap that has a break strength that exceeds the weight of the trailer. With that being said, the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps - 38" Long # IMF14221 has a break strength of 2,500 pounds.

  • Recommended Wheel & Tire Tie Down Straps For Tesla Model Y with 255/40R20 Tires
  • For your Tesla Model Y with the 255/40R20 tires I recommend using the etrailer E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap with Roller Idler and Ratchet # e96HR. This will require etrailer Horizontal E-Track # e45VR for each of the tires you wish to strap down. The roller allows you to more easily strap down the tires due to the narrow fenders. While you could use the Bulldog Winch Ratcheting Wheel Tie-Down Strap # BDW20362 around the tire it would be difficult to strap the tire down with the narrow...

  • How Can I Secure A Rolling Tool Chest In My Enclosed Trailer

  • The Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Strap with Web Clamp and Snap Hooks, part # EM58501 that you referenced, is suitable for your application to secure a vehicle to your flat car hauler trailer by its tow hooks, but we also offer shorter straps like their 7-foot Car Tie Down # 58503 which also has hooks on both ends.

  • Recommended Transom Tie-Downs For 4,500 Lb Boat
  • I spoke with my contact at BoatBuckle about the weight capacity of their tie-down straps. They told me that the break strength is what they use when determining the best tie-downs for a boat to use. For your 4,500 lb boat I recommend the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Downs, part # IMF08893. These each have a break strength of 2,500 lbs so that gives you a total of 5,000 lbs. These are ratcheting straps that measure 2 inches wide by 43 inches long. These come with...

  • How To Choose the Correct Transom Tie-Down Length
  • The BoatBuckle Kwik-Lok Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF13110 are 24" long from the center of each connection so if that is how much space you have between the two tie-down points then they will work. However, a better option is the BoatBuckle G2 Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps part # IMF08893 which are 43" and also retractable so you don't have to worry about excess slack or not having enough strap. I have attached a list of all our transom tie-downs for you as well.

  • The Bulldog Winch Combo Axle/Ratcheting Vehicle Tie-Down Straps - Qty 4 # BDW20230 are a great way to secure your 2020 Chevy Blazer to your car hauler.
