My experience mounting to kayak trailer:
3 photos
Very difficult to remove the stationary strap to use as a fixed device; bolted to the trailer (photos) The spring is very difficult to reinstall when you remove the bolt.
Also not enough room to put a wrench on bolt used to mount as a fixed strapping system.
I have not used these yet but will post a review at end of the season.
They seem well made and sturdy, but I did notice the spring is easily bent when trying to reinstall; not what I expected of a spring that would be properly heat treated.
We shall see.

We purchased two sets of two retractable tie down straps along with four recessed D ring tie down anchors for use in our lawn care company trailer. We also had to purchase a 3 1/2 inch hole saw used for cutting through the wood floor of the enclosed trailer. Once we positioned and installed the recessed D ring anchors we have found the Erickson straps securely tie down our 60 inch zero turn mower. We positioned the anchors so they can also be used to secure our 36 inch walk behind mower and on rare occasions our John Deere gator.

A good straps but heavier and more bulky than I expected; however, since the straps retract i don't have to store and keep track of separate pueces.

Beats all the hassles of pulling the strap through and having too much and start over on the conventional type

by: Michael 04/19/2025

Over the years I have purchased at least 14 Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps for myself and my daughter. We both have utility trailers. I normally get the 10 ft long by 1 inch wide straps rated at 400 lbs. I just got two 2 inch wide rated at 1100 lbs. Yes, they are heavier but, now that I have a vacation trailer also, I wanted a set rated for heavier loads. I have owned other brands of retractable ratchet straps but, have returned them as I did not like the mechanism as well as Erickson. These retractable straps are so much easier to use than standard ratchet straps.

It's nice to know when a product is reliable so that you can count on it when you need to use it. Thanks for sharing all this with us, Michael! You mentioned a vacation trailer. It going to be like a camper or more for carrying things when you go on a vacation somewhere?

Haven't used the ratchet straps, Checked them out by hand. My trailer has not been delivered yet. Also bought a trailer brake controller and adaptor. Sales person at e-trailer was very helpful and answered all my questions about if the adapter would fit a 2015 escalade. I didn't know if a new adaptor was available because of all the changes in the 2015 model. Price, delivery and assistance with my order was excellent. Thanks

Im very satisfied with all the purchases Ive made from trailer. The brake controller work perfectly between the truck and trailer. The straps have worked as expected and I have made several trips with my HD Trike In the trailer. It never moved. Just what I was looking for.. Deliveries came when promised. I just recently orders. A spare tire and wheel, took an extra 2 days to get here. We did have 2ft of snow that week, but it was ok, I wasnt going anywhere any way.

by: Dan 10/18/2016 One Year Later

Used these for holding down building materials on a flatbed trailer. The retraction spring has broken on two of the ratchets. The other two are still working.
The straps tend to be on the short side for most loads but sometimes I hook two together to make it work.
I would give the product a fair to good rating

Strap itself are good quality materials. Ratchets are too complex and retractable spring is poorly made and stop working after a short time. If you use them once or twice a year, they probably work fine. However, I am a pro contractor and use straps every day. These ratchet straps lasted 2 weeks then the ratchets stopped working and the retractable feature quit after one week.Not something I would buy again.

by: Dan 04/03/2015

A major farm supply retailer whom I previously bought spring-loaded cargo straps from every year, discontinued selling Erickson straps, the best for frequent loading and unloading vehicles, due to their spring loaded rapid release. The retailer said the reason was that some people preferred the cheaper ones - which are only initially cheaper but take far longer to connect and disconnect. I told the store manager the straps he sells will cost me 50 times more money in constant wasted time with his junk straps and were almost useless to me. So, I found etrailer online which had exactly what I wanted and had prompt service. Thank you, etrailer.

These clamps save you Time when setting up and taking off. My trailer has 4 D-rings, and I use these straps to secure my heavy Z-turn lawn mower. I like the freedom to connect the clamp to the D-ring, then onto the mower. When I'm done, I box up the clamps and the D-rings. Clean and fast operation using these clamps.

My second set of these great tie down straps. Super convenient, these straps have all surplus strapping stored in the tensioner housing. Winding up excess straps is now a thing of the past. If you're tieing down equipment multiple time each day, you're going to love these straps. Super fast shipping, too.

Just wanted you to know that this is the third year Ive owned these straps my second set and I love them even more now than I did at first. These straps are such a time saver in our lawncare business. Tying down our equipment used to be a real pain, but not any more. I will continue to keep our trailers equipped with these straps as long as theyre available.

by: Jay M 08/21/2017 One Year Later

The straps loosen during travel. I have hauled motorcycles for 20 years, never having ratchet straps loosen once they were tight, I almost lost a $18000 bike over the side of the trailer because the straps automatic tensioning released itself while I towed.
I then set these straps aside to only use for cargo and the same thing happened while I was moving some things.
Great idea, poor execution. There needs to be a locking mechanism to prevent the bouncing of the trailer from releasing the tentioner and allowing the straps to go slack.They are now 4 paperweights and I am back to using off the shelf non self retracting ratchet straps.

by: Jerry in Carolina 02/23/2017 One Year Later

Had these for about a year and they are still in great shape. Use them almost weekly picking up riding mowers for repair and service. Really like the recoiling strap type of straps, no worries about the excess strap flapping in the wind or having to wrap it around something to stop the loose end from blowing in the wind. Cost more than the regular, but in my opinion, worth the extra money. Looking for many years of service.

Still working great after another year of service. Might have to replace in another 5-10 years.

Troubleshooting Red Release Button Not Releasing Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Strap
When using the red release button on the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # EM34416 it takes more than a simple press of the button to release the tension. Make sure you get a firm grip on the ratchet when you press the button and then close the whole ratchet to release the tension. See the attached video starting at the 50 second mark which demonstrates this. If you have followed the video and it still isn't releasing, you may need to add a little lubricant like WD-40 if it is stuck.

Trailer Hitch Lock and Ratchet Straps for Securing a Boat Trailer and RZR 800
Hi Sandra, absolutely, we can help with both. For securing something in a 2 inch receiver, I’d go with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # e98882. It has a stainless steel pin and lock housing for good corrosion resistance, which I especially like around a boat, and the covered key slot helps keep water and grime out. One thing I do want to clarify, though, is that this lock secures a ball mount or other accessory inside the receiver. If you’re wanting to prevent someone from...

Recommended Longer Ratchet Straps to Replace a CargoBuckle G3 Ratchet Strap
Matt, I took a look and it does not look like there is a longer version of the CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Strap # IMF18804, unfortunately, but we do have the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Releases # EM34416 which looks like it could also work. These straps are retractable, has a 1,100 lb capacity, and is 10' long so these would be 4' longer than the CargoBuckle G3.

Sorry Jim but it does not. The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps item # IMF18800-77 you were looking at tops out at 6' and does not have a longer strap. The only solution I have for you is the Erickson item # EM34416, which are retractable straps that measure 2" x 10' and have a 1,100 lbs capacity. These are not bolt-on tie-downs though.

E-Track Recommendations For 7 By 14 Enclosed Trailer To Carry Classic Motorcycles
With cargo like your two classic Harleys you will want to make sure they are really well secured to prevent any damage. I recommend securing the E-Tracks to something more stable than just wood. If you are attaching the tracks to the floor I recommend you make sure they are secured either to the metal structure of the trailer or use metal plates like the E-Track Backing Plate, part # e96RR, to make it as secure as possible. If the interior floor and walls are 7 ft long I recommend 5...

How Far Apart Should E-Track be Mounted to Secure a Harley Ultra
There is no set distance apart that the E-Track, such as # E19148, has to be mounted. If it were me I would place them so that they are about an E-track's width apart wider than the widest part of the bike on each side. So for example if the bike 36 inches wide and the E-Track is 5-1/8 inches wide I would place the E-Track so there is 46-1/4 inches between them. I also recommend picking up several tie-downs, # E59143, to secure straps such as # EM34416 to the E-Track.

Recessed Ratchet Strap or D-Ring Anchors

Recommended Solution to Add Cross Bars and Bed Extender to Retrax XR on 2019 Ram 1500 for Kayak

Tire Tie Downs for E-Track in an Enclosed Trailer for a Sports Car
For your trailer the tracks have openings that go front to back. To secure vehicle tires you would need the openings to run left to right like # E19148.

If a vehicle has smaller or larger tires you would just place the tie downs in the appropriate spots on the tracks. Vehicles that are wider or narrower may still work on the same...

Ratchet Straps to Secure Zero Turn Mower to Trailer

I've used a shorter version of these straps in the past to secure some PWC's to the trailer, and they worked perfectly. You'll want to make sure that a 10 foot length will be long enough.

How Well Do Retractable Ratchet Straps Hold Up After Repeated Use in and around Salt Water
Like anything that sees a lot of activity in a salt water environment you would want to rinse the CargoBuckle straps # IMF18800 with fresh water afterwards to prolong the life of the straps. Also letting the straps dry prior to retracting them will make the ratcheting in/pulling the line out work better and last longer then trying to do so when wet. This is true for any ratchet strap. This little bit of maintenance will help to reach the maximum lifespan of a strap. Stainless steel is...

Why Do ATV Tie Downs Seem to Come Loose After Driving Down the Highway for a Few Miles
The Erickson Retractable, Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # EM34416 will not loosen once tightened. The problem you are most likely experiencing is that you tighten your ATV down and then after a few miles the ATV has moved around slightly or settled due to the bumps from the road and now the tie-downs seem loose. This has nothing to do with the tie-downs loosening though.

Hitch Mounted E-Trike Carrier Capbable Of Carrying 2 E-Trikes

Effect on Hitch Tongue Weight Rating from Use of Hitch Adapter with Motorcycle Carrier
You are on the right track in recognizing that use of a hitch extension or adapter changes the forces on the hitch. This in turn changes the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity. In the same way that using a cheater bar on the end of a tire iron can give you more leverage to loosen a stubborn lug nut, using a hitch extension like # C45791 or an adapter like # D-192 will let the chosen carrier exert more force on the hitch tube. This is why use of any such item reduces the hitch capacity...

Options for Carrying 540lb Motorcycle with 2001 Nissan Frontier
Although we do offer tray-style motorcycle carriers, the 400-500 lb tongue weight capacity of the hitch, which is the maximum downward force that can safely be applied, would be exceeded by the weight of your bike. This would cause the hitch or its attachment points on the truck to fail while you're transporting the bike, which would be very bad. A small trailer like # K2MMT5X7 would be a good alternative. Or, you could carry the bike in the bed of your truck using a ramp like part # EM07464,...
