Winch Straps
Check out our extensively detailed Winch Straps that are built to our unparalleled standards of high quality, durability, and strength. Kinedyne offers a full line of standard, ...
K-FORCE, and Rhino MAX 2", 3", and 4" Winch Straps to optimize your ideal winch tie down assembly to the highest of performances. More than capable of handling the heavy-duty tie down jobs of all shapes and sizes, our Winch Straps are built to provide a strong, solid, viselike grip over the whole load once tension is applied using whichever winch is installed on your flatbed vehicle.
Available in a variety of different lengths to accommodate all types of loads, our Winch Straps are equipped with strong and durable end fittings that quickly and easily hook onto your vehicle’s anchor points, creating a solid and reliable grip. We have Flat Hooks, Wire Hooks, Chain Anchors, Delta Rings as well as Sewn Loops that work together with both the webbing and the tensioning device to hold down and stabilize your cargo.
Built to take on both light-duty and heavy-duty work, our Winch Straps are engineered to perform beyond your expectations. These straps are designed to provide flexible coverage over your load while providing maximum tensile strength with minimum stretch, so they retain their elasticity longer. They can be used to stabilize pallets, appliances, materials, vehicles, equipment, and nearly any kind of cargo that requires Kinedyne-strength and Kinedyne-durability to help you get those loads from point A to point B in a timely manner with very little effort.
The high-tensile strength of our Winch Straps is what keeps the load firmly in place. Flexible yet resistant to stretch, our straps are made from a durable polyester thread that is designed to withstand most tie down challenges. The Winch Straps are available with three different types of webbing, each designed to get the job done: our signature Kinedyne Gold with Black Edge, our K-FORCE, and our Rhino MAX.
Kinedyne Ratchet Straps 101: A Guide to Ratchet Straps
Ratchet Straps 101 is part of the Kinedyne Education Series of introductory videos created by Kinedyne LLC. This series of videos is designed to teach the basics of cargo securement products: what they are, what they are used for, and how to choose the right tools for the job and more.
Ratchet Strap Webbing
Our industrial strength Ratchet Straps are as strong as the trucking industry needs them to be. Then, we make them even stronger. The true strength of our Ratchet Straps comes from our heavy-duty and extra durable webbing. If you need security for your tie down job, then these straps have both you and your load covered. They are engineered with a thick and flexible polyester webbing that has a tight weave – the tighter the weave, the better the durability.
Compared to Ratchet Straps made from other materials, the Straps are less susceptible to damage from being left out in the sun for too long due to the polyester webbing’s natural resistance to harmful ultraviolet rays. Not only that, but mold, mildew, and rot are much less likely to wear down the Straps. Though still vulnerable to the elements, the webbing has a greater wear resistance. Unlike stretchy nylon or inflexible polypropylene, the high-quality polyester naturally offers minimum stretch, keeping our Ratchet Straps as sturdy and firm as the day they are made, making them the ideal tie down to use.
When you buy a 2” x 30’ Ratchet Strap, it’s going to stay 2 inches and 30 feet for a considerable amount of time despite the number of times you use it to tighten down your load. Did we mention the abrasion resistance yet? We know how much Straps can rub against your vehicle or your cargo as you’re traveling, especially on those bumpy roads, so our high-quality heavy-duty K-FORCE and Rhino MAX webbing resist any friction-causing damage that can be done to your Ratchet Straps or to your invaluable load.
Ratchet Strap Tensioning Device
Our webbing may be the heart of our Ratchet Straps, but it’s a real team effort at work here. The polyester webbing is only as strong as the tensioning device that tightens and holds it all together, and what’s a Ratchet Strap without its Ratchet?
All of our Kinedyne Ratchet Straps are equipped with a standard, long, and/or wide handle Ratchet that has been designed with user-adaptability in mind. These gold dichromate heat-treated carbon steel Ratchets are molded to fit the comfort of your hand for your ease and convenience. Some of them are even wide enough to accommodate your gloved hand. Coated in a zinc plated finish, our high-quality Ratchets are corrosion resistant, so they’re going to fasten your load down tighter and longer.
You can easily feed our flexible, strong 2”, 3”, or 4” polyester webbing through the Ratchet’s mandrel then fasten the two end fittings to the anchor points for an indirect tie down over your cargo. No matter which end fittings you use – Flat Hook, Wire Hook, Chain Anchor – you’ll find that they’ll be able to quickly slide into and grasp the tie down point. Whether it’s 27’ or 30’, our Straps give you the all the control you need to handle your heavy-duty load.
Once the Straps are directly where you need them to be, you can then pump our heat-treated carbon steel Ratchet to effortlessly tighten the Straps down over the cargo with an extremely viselike grip. After the Straps have been properly tensioned to your liking, you can then lock the Ratchet in place, keeping your load contained and secured throughout your transit. No more stopping every few miles to check to make sure that your Straps haven’t come undone because our Ratchet Straps keep your load tight for longer.
Ratchet Strap End Fittings
As mentioned before, it’s a flawless synergy that makes our Ratchet Straps stand out among the rest, and that includes our reliable high-quality end fittings. All our end fittings are made of a heat-treated carbon steel that reinforces their durability while also enhancing their strength. They are designed to easily slip into and stay connected to their designated anchor points for tight and reliable tensioning.
Flat Hooks are one of the most commonly used end fittings due to their design. Our Flat Hooks are genuinely flat and can be fastened to nearly any flatbed side rail, right where you want them. They can be used on nearly any heavy-duty personal and commercial projects. Our heavy-duty 4” Ratchet Straps are equipped with a Flat Hook with an Abrasion Clip to help protect the webbing from wearing down along the hook
If you’re looking for a slenderer end fitting to squeeze into those narrower anchor points, then our slim, durable Wire Hooks end fittings are the best option. Coated in a zinc plated finish to help prevent corrosion, these hooks are narrow enough to squeeze into those certain attachment points that are harder to reach with other types of end fittings. Versatile and strong, Wire Hooks are ideal for nearly any tie down job.
Need something tougher? Well, all of our end fittings are made for the toughest jobs, but if you want the extra added oomph, then our Grade 43 Chain Anchors will provide you with that extra security you’re looking for. Our Chain Anchors come equipped with either a 5/16-inch or a 3/8-inch grab hook to fasten to your vehicle’s attachment point for a secure tie down. The chains can take on more abuse from sharp corners and rough cargo than straps can
Ratchet Strap Sizes
We have Ratchet Straps available in an assortment of different sizes, all suitable for different tie down applications. Manufactured in either 27 feet or 30 feet, we have Ratchet Straps in 2”, 3”, and 4” sizes, each more capable than the last. It’s a good idea to arm a fleet with a variety of these Ratchet Straps so that there’ a tie down method ready for nearly any kind of cargo securement job.
Our 2-inch Ratchet Straps are commonly used for the everyday tie down job. These are best used for cargo that gets regularly shipped that require a quick tie down. We also have our K-FORCE and Rhino MAX brands available in this size for the loads that need extra strength and/or extra durability. The 3-inch Ratchet Straps are for when you need a little extra tensile strength to take on the job. For the heavy-duty jobs, you’ll want our 4-inch sized Ratchet Straps. If the job requires even more heavy-duty strength, we have a 4” K-FORCE Ratchet Strap with Flat Hooks ready and waiting.
Ratchet Strap Working Load Limits, Certifications, & Associations
Remember that Ratchet Straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit as our Straps are labeled with different working load limits. For example, our 2" x 27’ Flat Hook Ratchet Strap can handle 3,335 Lbs. / 1,513 Kgs. while our 3" x 27’ Flat Hook Ratchet Strap can handle 5,400 Lbs. / 2,450 Kgs. The Web Sling & Tie Down Association and DOT require the working load limit to not exceed 1/3 of the rated capacity. The weight of the cargo must not exceed the combined working load limit of the Straps being used.
The working load limit is provided for each of our Ratchet Straps. This is intended to help you make decisions when selecting your ideal cargo control system. Be aware that equipment overload can result in cargo control system failure. When considering your working load limit, remember:
All ratings are for products in new condition. Always inspect all products prior to each use to ensure that your system is working at capacity. Age, wear, or damage to any tie down product can greatly reduce its strength.
Load direction other than straight can result in a significant reduction in the working load limit. All rating are based on a straight tensile pull unless otherwise specified.
Your cargo control system is only as strong as its weakest link. Cargo control products must be attached to securing points of equal or greater strength to maintain their established working load limit. The ratings for our products are based on using Kinedyne track, beams, webbing, and hardware as a system.
At Kinedyne, we prioritize safety, so we’ve extensively tested the working load limit of every one of our Ratchet Straps. Each strap has been labeled and stenciled with the Kinedyne name and the working load limit to meet and exceed several industry requirements and standards, including:
North American Cargo Securement (NACS) standards
Web Sling & Tie Down Association (WSTDA) standards
Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
California Highway Patrol (CHP) standards
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) guidelines
K-Force Ratchet Straps
As a show of our commitment to bringing you the ideal solutions to your cargo control, we took the strong and we made it even stronger. Our K-FORCE Ratchet Straps are engineered to manage heavier loads and employ more polyester material in the body of the Strap in order to give it the strength and durability to challenge the increasing demands of the cargo control industry. And when we say strong, we mean strong. The 2" K-FORCE Ratchet Straps have an increased working load limit of 4,000 Lbs. / 1,814 Kgs., a 20 percent increase compared to the current industry standard of 3,335 Lbs. / 1,513 Kgs., while the 4" K-FORCE Ratchet Straps have an increased working load limit of 6,670 Lbs. / 3,025 Kgs.
You can only find this kind of strength from Kinedyne. These K-FORCE Ratchet Straps are designed to help you manage your loads easily, despite how heavy-duty the cargo may be. Engineered with state-of-the-art weaving technology, our Ratchet Straps are built for industrial strength with a focus on durability. With a tightly weaved polyester thread, the K-FORCE Straps are designed to take on more challenging tie down jobs that could otherwise cause some damage to any standard Strap. Suitable for the demands of the cargo control industry, any serious operator will want to have our K-FORCE on their side.
Rhino MAX Ratchet Straps
Due to Kinedyne’s mission to bring you the highest quality standard in the cargo securement industry, we exceeded our award-winning abrasion-resistant Rhino Web line with the stronger and more resilient Rhino MAX brand. With a working load limit of 4,000 Lbs. / 1,814 Kgs., the Rhino MAX Ratchet Straps are 20 percent stronger than the current industry standard of 3,335 Lbs. / 1,513. Thanks to our unparalleled engineering and manufacturing, there is no equal in this combination of strength and durability compared to our Rhino MAX.
The rhino doesn’t bend to any challenge, and neither does our Rhino MAX Ratchet Straps. Built for rigid toughness, cargo such as bricks, timber, concrete, etc. will find it very difficult to mar the surface of this webbing due to our award-winning anti-abrasion chemical coating that we use for all of our Rhino MAX Ratchet Straps. This is the kind of Strap you want to have on hand whenever you’re faced with a severe-duty tie down job. Equipped with either Flat Hooks, Chain Anchors, or Wire Hooks, these Ratchet Straps are strong enough to take on the heavy-duty jobs while resilient enough to easily handle the tougher cargo.
Winch Strap Webbing
We provide three types of webbing for our Winch Straps: our signature Kinedyne gold with black edge web, our extra-tough K-FORCE orange with black edge web, and our durably ruggedized Rhino MAX grey with black edge web. Each kind serves a unique purpose, offering you an option for nearly any kind of tie down job you’ll face in the industry.
Celebrate the golden anniversary of Kinedyne with our signature Kinedyne gold with black edge webbing. These straps are for the everyday trucker for their everyday job. They’re for the loads that you see every time you get to work. They’re the straps that you can rely on every day of the year with no hesitation. They get the job done, and they get the job done right every time, everywhere.
Tougher jobs need the tough strength of our K-FORCE webbing. If it’s heavy-duty cargo you’re dealing with, it’s the heavy-duty K-FORCE web that you need. These straps are the kind you pull out when it’s time to secure the heavier loads. They’re built with the strength most other Winch Straps wish they could have.
But no matter how tough a strap is, rough cargo can still take its toll. That’s when you need the ruggedized Rhino MAX webbing. This web is coated in our award-winning anti-abrasive chemical coating that protects it against sharp and potentially damaging loads. These straps are reserved for the extra heavy-duty tie down jobs that need a web that’s not just tough, but rhino-tough.
Of course, our webbing wouldn’t be able to achieve such tensioned strength without the industrial, unparalleled durability of our end fittings.
Winch Strap End Fittings
Our collection of Winch Straps comes with an array of high-quality heat-treated carbon steel end fittings capable of handling any cargo securement job you need done. Whether its light-duty or heavy-duty, non-commercial or professional, simple or complex, these hooks and chains are engineered to perform optimally during nearly any kind of tie down job that requires both strength and durability.
How about the classic Flat Hook Winch Strap combination that can easily slide into your vehicle’s side rails and stake pockets for a reliable tie down? Our Flat Hooks are carefully engineered to be genuinely flat and stay hooked onto your vehicle even when faced with the harsh demands of the road. For extra protection, our 4" Winch Straps are equipped with a Flat Hook that has an Abrasion Clip. This round piece of metal is installed on the inside of the hook’s opening to prevent the Winch Straps from wearing down at this point of contact. This is essential when it comes to handling those heavy-duty jobs where a lot of friction is inevitable.
If you are struggling to hook onto your vehicle’s harder-to-reach anchor points, then you’ll be relieved to know that our Wire Hooks are narrow enough to easily fit into your vehicle’s side rails, D-rings, and stake pockets. This kind of versatility makes our Wire Hooks ideal for a number of different applications. Don’t let their slenderness fool you, though, since these end fittings are manufactured to be strong and durable with the ability to handle even the tougher heavy-duty tie down jobs.
Worried about extreme abrasive conditions near the vehicle’s anchor points that might damage your webbing and end fittings? That’s where our Grade 43 Chain Anchor end fittings come in. These are manufactured to endure constant rubbing over sharp corners, steel, and rougher cargo better than webbing, so they’re the ideal abrasion-resistant end fittings for the rough loads. Kinedyne’s Chains Anchors for our Winch Straps come in 13-inch and 18-inch sizes.
When it comes to Winch Straps, as the Cargo Control People, we’ve covered any possible combination of webbing and hardware to help you control your cargo. Sometimes, you like the strength of our webbing so much that you want it as an end fitting, so we have a 4" Winch Strap with a Sewn Loop made from our webbing available for Standard and K-FORCE Winch Straps. Sometimes, you need an end fitting that mates with the hooks on your vehicle, so we have a strong Delta Ring Winch Strap that comes in a variety of different sizes. Sometimes, the job doesn’t call for any end fittings at all, so we have a 4" x 30’ Winch Strap with no hardware for winch-to-winch applications. No matter the situation, we’ve got the end fitting for you.
Winch Strap Sizes
Our Winch Straps come in a variety of sizes and lengths, and having a number of differently sized straps on hand can come in real handy in such a changing industry. With regular, standard tie down jobs, you’ll find the 2" wide Winch Strap to be especially helpful. The tougher the job, the wider the strap, such as our 3" or 4" wide straps. In terms of length, we have enough webbing to have your entire load covered. From 27’ for the regular loads to 50’ for the extra-large loads, we are sure to carry the right kind of size you’ll need for nearly any of your cargo securement jobs.
Winch Strap Working Load Limits, Certifications, & Associations
For more than 50 years, we at Kinedyne have prioritized safety, so we’ve extensively tested the working load limit of every one of our Winch Straps. Each strap has been labeled and stenciled with its working load limit and the Kinedyne name and logo every 30 inches in order to meet and exceed several industry requirements and standards, including:
- North American Cargo Securement (NACS) standards
- Web Sling & Tie Down Association (WSTDA) standards
- Canadian 905 standards
- Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations
- California Highway Patrol (CHP) standards
- Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) guidelines
Winch Straps are to be chosen based on their safe working load limit. The working load limits are based on 1/3 the break strength of the component or assembly in a straight ensile pull unless otherwise specified. The weight of the load must not exceed the combined working load limit of all the Winch Straps that are used.
Note that only trailed, knowledgeable personnel should use tie down strap. It is the operator’s responsibility to use appropriate type and number of straps for the load being secured. Winch Straps are rated for use in temperature range from +194 degrees F (+90°C) to -40 degrees F (-40°C). Straps should be stored out of direct sun and away from damaging chemicals when not in use.
K-FORCE Winch Straps
Kinedyne sets a new and higher bar for Winch Straps with our K-FORCE Winch Straps. Designed to take on the tougher tie down jobs that require more strength than our gold with black edge webbing, these straps have a working load limit that is 23 percent greater than the current industry standard. They employ more polyester material in the body of the strap, allowing you to tie down heavier loads with fewer straps. The K-FORCE straps are the ones you bring out when the heavy-duty cargo reaches your doors. Our K-FORCE Winch Straps are only available in 4-inch widths in order to help make securing the larger jobs easier with our kind of industrial strength.
A strap with this kind of strength needs strong end fittings to complement it, so we’ve equipped our K-FORCE Winch Straps with strong, extremely capable hooks, chains, rings, and loops. Flat Hooks easily and quickly slide right into a vehicle’s stake pocket or side rail while Narrow Wire Hooks get right into the anchor points that are harder to reach. Delta Rings and Sewn Loops create a sturdy, solid grip on the vehicle when they’re hooked right onto any hook shaped anchor point. Chain Anchors help prevent the webbing from rubbing directly against loads with sharp edges thanks to their effective durability. Whatever the job calls for, we’ve got the right end fitting for it.
Rhino MAX Winch Straps
What do you do when you need to secure those highly abrasive loads that could scrape their way right through standard straps? That’s when you call in the rhino. More specifically, that’s when you use our famed Rhino MAX Winch Straps to get the load secured. These straps are built for toughness to overcome such a severe-duty environment. Strict and ruggedized, our Rhino MAX webbing has no equal for its strength and durability. Coated in our award-winning abrasion-resistant chemical coating, this web can be used to secure heavier, rougher loads with fewer straps.
Rhino MAX web is a favorite among fleets and owner-operators for its high performing capability. Since rough cargo comes in all shapes and sizes, we have Rhino MAX Winch Straps available in 2", 3", and 4" sizes with a wide variety of different end fittings, from strong Flat Hooks to narrow Wire Hooks, from durable Chain Anchors to secure Delta Rings, our Rhino MAX Winch Straps are equipped with the means to take on nearly any kind of rough tie down job that requires our rhino strength.
