CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps - Bolt On - 2" x 6' - 1,167 lbs - Qty 2

I mounted these straps on my 5x10 trailer. I love these straps. Work very well. They pivot making them very versatile, to hook to, and mount at different locations on the machines I transport. I installed with a very large fender washer between trailer and strap, with grease on both sides. Tight, but still moves. Not to loose to cause extra noise or problems. Only negative comment I have, is regarding the mounting bolts, washers and nuts. One package was open when I unboxed it, and all mounting hardware was missing. I purchased additional bolts, nuts, and washers, (stainless steel), and mounted the straps. I am awaiting a response from etrailer regarding this matter.

These straps are a big time saver, and more importantly, secure the load on my trailer better for peace of mind.1262415

I had a couple of these on a trailer we sold. As soon as I ordered new trailer, I ordered another set of these straps. So easy and quick to tie my side by side down with these mounted to my trailer. I will not have a trailer without these!!! All my hunting buddies have them on their trailers now as well!!1461542

Excellent quality and great hardware included. I really like the retractable aspect and the nice firm and tight ratchet mechanism!! Far far better than a similar one I bought that was rated for 1000lbs!!!!! I’m very very happy with this product!!!913693

After a year of use and abuse my straps are still going strong, be sure to not over tighten or it can bend the internals and cause some issues. Just gotta be careful with it and it still does it’s job, lost the plastic housing on both of them somehow, but hey still working great. Highly recommend, had a buddy buy 6 for his new trailer, he loves em.

These devices are everything I hoped when I did my research. I have used them several times and they made an impression on the merchants to whom I was bringing devices for service/repair and the people helping me with loading.

The straps retract as advertised. I was a little concerned at first that the springs would eventually weaken and fail to retract but that has not happened. I don't use these that often, but they consistently work well when I do.

I had some difficulty locating them on my trailer. I positioned them with my UTV loaded, and should have spent a little more time with the location. They all work but the ratcheting handle is difficult to use because of some parts of the trailer frame. My fault. On the tail gate, I have to clamp them down with the gate lowered. I could grind out a bit here and there to address this but I don't feel it is worth the extra trouble and I don't want to introduce any structural weakness or sharp edges.

There are offset brackets I could have purchased but I opted against them. These straps have a rating for weight. So do the offset brackets, which is lower than the ratchet straps, and I figured I could only count on the lower of the two ratings. This was confirmed by someone at the company. I am probably being way too sensitive, and the offset brackets would have provided (my opinion) a better angle for the strap as it comes off the ratchet device. This is NOT a problem, just something I considered while doing my research.

I really love that I have these on my trailer at the ready whenever/wherever needed. I have also considered getting two or four more for the sides of the trailer. I often haul lumber on my trailer and the straps front and back of the trailer are not as easy to use for that. I hook them together crosswise and it works. With a 10 foot trailer and six foot straps, I'm at the limit of the straps as they are installed.

I was concerned about where to drill into my trailer frame to install the straps. I was afraid that this would weaken the frame at the attachment point because of the drilled hole. Tech support said this was not an issue. I'm not an engineer, but I try to consider everything. It has not been an issue for me.

My trailer has a 2x6 treated wood floor. This was a bit of an installation issue. I had to chisel out some of the wood at the attachment points for the bolt holding the straps onto the trailer. There was no mention of this in the write-up. No videos or suggestions. Again, I got it done and have not had to give it further thought.

Overall, I'm quite happy with the product. On the first contact, no one responded to my email for info. After that, I got quick response and an apology for the first experience. I had questions and they were answered quickly and satisfactorily.

I live in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Winters were a concern at first because these are exposed to everything. Weather has not been an issue.

I can recommend the straps without reservation and also the tech support for answering questions. I have had no issues at all. I would buy these again, and I may for the sides of my trailer. I don't have photos of the installation, but every one is going to be unique anyway so I don't think they would add much to this review.1308243

One year ago I bought (4) of these. I mounted them on my 6x12 trailer to haul my Polaris Ranger. I have been very satisfied with the purchase. I use them no matter what I’m hauling, they work good for lumber. Very satisfied.1190141

Ratchets straps are holding up well. No problems.

Tired of hassling with loose tie down straps for my SxS, I bought 4 of these to mount on my utility trailer. Best decision ever! Been using for a year now and loading and unloading my SxS couldn’t be easier.1490421

These are awesome. 1 complaint would need to be a bit longer. I use them for mu mower--tractor-side by side no issues at all--quick and easy. When I use it to hold a load in y truck I need to use 2 of them at times. I own 8 of them, 2 are stationary on a trailer in the elements and no issues with those as well. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!1470337

One option to help preserve the life of your CargoBuckle straps when using them against the rough edge of your ladder is to put the BoatBuckle Protective Pads # IMF13180
BoatBuckle Protective Boat Pads for 2" Wide Tie-Down Straps - Qty 2
$12.50 between the strap and the ladder. While these pads are designed to help prevent a strap from rubbing against a boat, they will also help reduce the pressure put on your CargoBuckle strap. Another option is to secure the ladder without running the strap along the rough edge of the ladder. If there is a tie down anchor near the CargoBuckle mounting location, the strap could run up the the ladder, over the rung, and back down to the anchor.

These Retractable G-3 Tie-Down Straps are GREAT!! Very east to install and Operate. No more fumbling with loose straps! These Straps stay in place and they look Very nice on my Boat.

Just a bit of advice, I put sealant on the treads and on the bolt head to make it harder for someone else to remove.108800

We received exactly what we ordered and the delivery came 2 days early. That worked great as the Cargo Buckle products are used on our trailer to hold our ATV's and we leave on a trip in two days. Great product and delivery timing.1431270

Replaced worn cargo buckles with this retractable ratchet tie down system. Works great! They are so strong they can bend the frame on our wheelchair lift. So once they are tight, pay attention to item you are securing, as cargo buckles are extremely strong!Perfect fit and arrive ahead of schedule. Thanks!!296514

I continued to be very satisfied with the cargo buckle. My husband has since passed and I no longer have the lift, but again, the new buckles were all the old lift needed to make it great!

Great product, use on 16' aluminum trailer to tye down polaris ranger, takes about 1 minute to do with these straps vs any other straps on the market, I use 4, two on front and two at back, Ranger 6 seater never moves. Ive have the same ones now,just relacing them and putting used ones on another utility trailer. I Highly recommend e trailer products. Delivered fast and on time again.1337883

Holding up very well and no issues with the lock or restricting mechanism.1481151

These are perfect to strap down a golf cart on a trailer. The short handle keeps people from going overboard on the tension and breaking things. This has been a real problem with some of our other tie down systems for equipment. My main concern was how these would hold up out in the weather on an open trailer. Well it's been over 4 years since I installed the first set and they still look and work great. I just got enough to do two more trailers making a total of five using these straps. I can't ask for more from a tie down. I just wish there was a stronger version for some of our heavier equipment.1297796

Great product, perfect for my Polaris R anger!1464840

I’m so glad now I have a retractable ratchet tie down straps. It’s so easy to lock down and go. I always wanted to get something as great as this retractable tie down. I been using tie rope all my life and it keeps breaking on me. It’s takes too long to tie down . I’m very happy now to have what is now safe for me. Thank you for having a great product ALOHA,from,Frederico1497759

I currently use them for securing my Kubota side by side, I always have 2 extra for emergency's...I do wish someone would invent a plastic cover for the buckle when the trailer is sitting out in the elements...1341414
