Yes, you can use straps to tie down heavy equipment. There are a few different types of straps that can be used, including ratchet straps and cam straps. Be sure to choose the right size strap for your equipment and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your equipment or injuring yourself.
There's no definitive answer to this question since it depends on a variety of factors, such as the size and weight of your load, the type of vehicle you're using, and the conditions of the roads you'll be traveling on. However, as a general rule of thumb, most people find that two ratchet straps are sufficient for securing a load on a standard car or SUV. If you're using a larger vehicle, such as a truck or trailer, you may need more ratchet straps to ensure your load is securely fastened.
A ratchet strap can pull up to 3,000 pounds.

DESIGNED FOR USE ON CARGO THAT ASSISTS WITH TENSION: Cambuckle straps should be used to secure items that assist in applying tension to the strap, such as ATVs, motocross bikes and other mid to lightweight vehicles with shocks.
STRONG AND DURABLE: Extremely strong, non-marring coated steel S-hooks stay in place throughout your journey and prevent damage to your vehicle.
ADD SECURITY THAT ROPE DOES NOT PROVIDE: No matter your knot-tying skills, using rope to tie down cargo for transport is not ideal. SmartStraps Cambuckle tie-downs give you peace of mind that your load is secure.
SMARTWEB TECHNOLOGY: Our technology gives you a strap that is stronger and more abrasion resistant than standard webbing, so you know your cargo is safe and secure.
PROTECT LIGHTER LOADS: Ratchet tie-downs can put too much pressure on lighter, fragile loads. These cambuckle straps have a break strength of 900lbs and safe work load of 300lbs, but will not damage your load.

These worked excellent to hold my kayak to the roof of my 2003 Chevy Blazer with four doors. Because I was using ratcheting tow straps, which LOCK a kayak to the roof, I was a little dubious. However, I heard that using ratchet straps too tightly could lead to damage to the kayak. The kayak is not as tightly secured with these cam straps, but it is more than enough secured. I secured my Ascend FS10 recreational kayak, which is 10 feet long, to the top of my car and then drove 4 hours with it while averaging 60 to 70 mph on the highway.Along with these J-bars, I utilized these. Compared to the straps that come with these J-bars, the smartstraps cam straps are a far better option. The webbing on the straps is thicker and wider. There is a bigger camlock. If you purchase this item along with the SmartStrap cam straps, you will be able to carry two kayaks simultaneously on your roof because I utilized one strap for each j-bar:TMS HD Kayak Carrier 2 Pairs J-Bar Rack Car SUV Crossbar Canoe Boat Surf Ski Roof Top MountAlthough I'm sure there are many more beneficial use for these straps, if you're like me and looking for a great set of cam straps for your kayak, they are an affordable option!Some advice/comments:1. Each strap includes an inextricable hook on one side, which I was unaware of when I purchased them. For you, that might be a bonus or a drawback. I couldn't tell a difference. It can be removed, however doing so will require permanently cutting it off.2. Ensure that the strap is fed through the camlock in the proper direction. The camlock has an arrow on it.3. After putting the kayak on and fastening the straps, pull the loose part of the strap in. then have your girlfriend tighten it. then have your girlfriend's sister tighten it.4. I simply close my doors on the slack line and tie them to the Jesus handles in the backseat to secure it. By doing so, the straps are prevented from flying around the road.

I've used these outside continuously to hold a tree upright after a severe windstorm that knocked it over by approximately 10 degrees. The tree was pretty enormous for the purpose, measuring around 8" in diameter. The mechanics still function, they are still singing clearly, and they are only just beginning to exhibit any indications of rust. I have almost no complaints about them because I have only used 2 of them for that reason and have been using the other 2 for everyday use. The only issue I have—which I only recently realized—is that the end of the strap attached to the ratchet is just a hair too short to fit around the tie down rails in a U Haul truck. This has never been an issue with other straps I've used for years, but it IS an issue with other straps I've just recently bought. This would be the ideal light duty strap for all usage and would become my new go-to if they produced them approximately 3" longer. I will continue to refer to the straps I've had for 15 years as my "favorites" despite the fact that I can't give them five stars due to that one drawback. Sadly, I haven't yet reached perfection again, but these are extremely close. I'd like to replace those worn-out old straps.Additionally, I would appreciate the seller not to bundle the bungee straps that I do not require and reduce the price by one dollar, or to add the additional $0.50 of material necessary to make the straps ideal while maintaining the original selling price.That said, when I realized these wouldn't fit U Haul rails very well during my most recent move, I chose to buy a ton extra straps from a different manufacturer to save a few dollars, and wow was that a mistake. The "Keeper 05506 15' x 1" Ratcheting Tie-Down with Padded Handles" is these straps' most recent direct rival on Amazon at this price point, and these straps are significantly better. I would have returned the straps and purchased more of the blue ones if I hadn't needed them to move almost immediately after receiving them.

Wow!! You are in for a treat if you have never used a zip tie tensioner. A zip tie may break if this is done to it too tightly. The majority of users that are reviewing this tool are misusing it. They are not to blame because there are no instructions. Which end goes where, I asked when I first acquired it? The zip tie is put together as usual, then you draw it tight by hand. Place the tool over the tail of the zip tie with the small orange lever facing the connection or the area that is closest to the object being connected. Squeeze the large lever until it is the desired tightness. Push the tool inside (toward the task) after each squeeze to pick up the slack. Once more, squeeze tightly. Overdoing it could cause the tie to be broken. Don't worry if you do it; I did it too. It is a step in the educational process. Do it a bit less now that you are aware of the break point. Squeeze the orange lever once you have finished tightening, and the tie will be cut flush with the tie.Hope this was useful. Buy more ties than you need because you'll break some of them.A few remarks on different types of ties. 50, 125, 175 and 250 lb. ties are available. Since they are thicker and typically longer than the small ones you typically see, you can kind of tell which are heavy duty. This tool is designed to be used with 125-pound and heavier ties. Since hand tight is typically all you want, I haven't tried it on the little ones. I think if you were delicate with it, this would work.

These straps were my buy for a cross-country move. I'm loading up tractor trailers with all of our furniture, heavy tools, and other belongings. I found just what I was looking for with these straps. I can easily fasten everything because the soft straps can fit through the attachment hooks on the side of the trailer. I am no longer concerned about equipment shifting and breaking other things.To cut a long story short, the soft straps were not present when the package was opened. After contacting customer service, I got a reply the following day saying they will deliver them to our address. The straps took longer to arrive due to a communication error, but Amy was able to get them to me when I needed them. I've ordered more straps, and I have no hesitation in recommending them!

These have served me well over the course of the many times I've used them to transport plywood and lumber on my trailer. They are easy to adjust, include a ratchet made entirely of metal, and have wide, sturdy straps. The hook alone is worth four stars (I would have given it four and a half). Although it is made of metal with a rubber coating and seems quite sturdy, I wish it had a bit more curve. When the strap is tight, my huge tie-down attachment points work well, but it can be challenging to maintain the strap in place while you cross the trailer to the other side to attach the ratchet end. Maybe if I only bend the hook a little bit more, I'll get better at this. These straps are easy to use at any length and I do enjoy them. I have used these with adjustments from 5' to 14'. If I ever need extra straps, I'll get these again.

I had a special need. A gas strut on a pull-down ladder I had that was 10 feet off the ground had failed. I was concerned that compressing the strut while pushing the strut on a ladder wasn't the best idea given the inconvenient location to work on the replacement (ie: a trip to the ER or worse).Although I had many ratchet straps, the shortest I have was 15 feet with hooks. Having said that, this was the shortest one I could locate without hooks. I attached the ladder's top end to the new strut, wrapped this around it, and ratcheted it down. I simply needed to trim a small section of the strap to ensure that I didn't fill the ratchet spool to capacity. Nevertheless, this equipment was able to quickly and safely compress two 80-pound struts, satisfying this special necessity.

Reusable Gear Tie For quickly enclosing cords of electronics, computers, or appliances, Nite Ize's rubber twist ties are ideal (eg, headphones). Perfect, and I mean that! The rubber covering is amazing, the flexibility is perfect (hard but flexible), and there are some pretty colors as well.I tie up the wires for my iPod headphones, rice cooker, steam iron, computer cables, and around 100 other obnoxious electric cords that are scattered throughout the house with the help of these items. The cords are now nice small bundles that can be used, untied, and then retied with ease, which is fantastic. Appliances that may be placed on a desk or counter no longer have protruding cables. Cables for headphones are no longer a tangled nuisance. I'll bet you can count 50 cords that could be tied up if you take a look around.These ties are made to be knotted and loosened about a million times, which is why I suggest they should only be used temporarily. Using standard cable ties to permanently tie your lines together is generally preferable and most definitely more affordable (sometimes called zip ties).Consider the length. The 3 inch variant is ideal for VERY tiny cables, such as iPod headphone cords. Be cautious when using the 3 inch since you'll be shocked at how large (i.e., in circumference) a coiled cord may be. For wrapping the cords of coffee makers, lamps, maybe thinner vacuums, and other devices, this 6 inch version works perfectly. I've used an 18-inch version of it in the garage for heavy extension wires, circular saw cords, and other things.The cost, I suppose, is the downsize. They are not a bargain. However, the advantage outweighs the cost for me.Just so resentful that I didn't "create" these!

These are sturdy things. I attached my stand to a tree using two. Webbing is thick but not stiff, and all mechanisms operate without a hitch. Purchasing more!
A ratchet strap can hold a lot of weight, depending on its size. The average ratchet strap can hold up to about 1,000 pounds. However, there are some ratchet straps that are designed to hold more weight. These ratchet straps can hold up to about 3,000 pounds.
There is no definitive answer to how strong ratchet straps need to be, as the amount of force required will vary depending on the weight and size of the load being secured. However, it is important to ensure that the straps are strong enough to safely hold the load in place, and it is always better to err on the side of caution by choosing straps that are rated for a higher weight capacity than is necessary.
There are many different types of ratchet straps, each with its own unique benefits. The most common types are webbing ratchet straps, ratchet tie-downs, and cargo bars. Webbing ratchet straps are the most versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes. They are made from strong polyester webbing and have a ratchet mechanism that tightens the strap. Ratchet tie-downs are specifically designed for securing cargo. They have a ratchet mechanism that tightens the strap and a hook that attaches to the cargo. Cargo
The two main types of tie downs are ratchet straps and cam buckle straps. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to choose the right one for the job. Ratchet straps are typically stronger and easier to use, but they can be more expensive. Cam buckle straps are lighter and cheaper, but they're not as strong and can be more difficult to use.
Ratcheting tie downs are a type of strap used to secure cargo during transport. They are tightened using a ratchet, which allows for precise tensioning and prevent the strap from loosening during transit. Ratcheting tie downs are available in a variety of lengths and widths to accommodate different loads.
A lashing strap is a length of webbing with a ratchet at one end and a hook at the other. It is used to secure loads on vehicles, trailers and other load-bearing equipment.
