Even if you use ratchet straps often, you can expect the average ratchet strap to last you a good two to three years. However, this relies on you looking after them, and the number one things that can help increase the lifespan of your ratchet straps is storing them properly.

The Chain Block is a mechanism used to raise or lower heavy loads with relative ease.

The internal gears of the Chain Block wind the chains around, lifting the object that is attached to the end or hook.

Ratchet straps are a brilliant way of being able to safely transport goods from one place to another, but there are a number of things to consider when purchasing yours to ensure that they are good quality. 

Ratchet straps are a really great way to secure loads to vehicles before moving items from A to B. They ensure the safety of the driver and the passengers, as well as any other road users who they meet along the way, so it is really important that they are used safely and properly. For this reason there are several laws in place surrounding their usage. Before you start your journey, it’s a good idea to be familiar with them.

At the Ratchet Shop, we offer a wide selection of lightweight ratchet straps which are the ideal solution for those days when you may have a lighter load, but still need the ultimate security of a quality ratchet strap. Whether you’re looking for an option for commercial use, or use your ratchet straps for domestic use, we can help.

Heavy duty ratchet straps are hardy and long-lasting but the life of your strap and handle is all dependent on how you take care of them. Straps that are incorrectly used, exposed to the elements and used against sharp or rough objects are not going to have the same life as straps that are used for lighter applications or not used very often. That being said, you can prolong the life of your straps.

Ratchet straps are tie-down straps that have various uses, generally involving the holding down of equipment or cargo when it is being transported. They can be used for jobs like securing loads to vehicles or keeping construction materials in place.
