Durable tie-downs bolt onto your truck bed, trailer, or ladder rack so that you can easily secure cargo. Quick-release buttons simplify unloading, and the retractable design keeps straps neatly stored when they're not in use. 1,200 lbs Max load.

Note: Tie-down straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using straps with a WLL of 500 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 1,000 lbs, then you need at least 2 straps to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use straps in pairs.
These Erickson ratchet straps take the hassle out of tying down gear - especially the cargo you transport frequently, such as your boat or motorcycle. Each ratchet housing permanently mounts to your truck bed, trailer, or ladder rack with a single bolt, which is included.
To use one of the tie-downs, simply push down the red release button and pull out the strap. Then secure the vinyl-coated steel S-hook to your cargo and ratchet the strap until it's tight. You have to hook up just one end of the strap each time. And because the straps are permanently mounted, you'll never have to search for a missing tie-down. This saves you time and frustration and gets you out on the road in a flash.

If anybody owns a cargo van they know how difficult it is to quickly secure anything to the rack on top of it. This is the solution for me, so far so good. Light duty but adequate to secure ladders and material quickly
I am not happy with them at all, one of the S hook came tore off just driving down the road, now I was drive at 75 miles per hour which is the speed on interstate 40, and one of the other straps just tore in half, and the retractable part of it doesnt work very well either, I am about to take them off and replace them with bigger and stronger straps.
Yeah the product is ok... It's much nicer than using regular ratchet Straps that always get jammed. I use them on my ladder rack for my work truck to secure them. I noticed that in less than a year, somewhere during the winter, the auto retractor failed, now I have to ratchet a whole lot everytime I take my ladder off my truck to tighten up the Straps so they aren't flopping around in the wind. If it wasn't for losing the auto retraction feature, I would have given a 5/5 star rating.
Spent a lot of time researching online -- found etrailer.com and their videos are and descriptions are priceless when you don't have the luxury to play with something like this. Shipping was amazingly fast and affordable (even to ALASKA!) I needed a solution to keep my floatplane on a set of dollies in the hangar. Traditional ratchet straps had a long tail and no place to go when the aircraft was not on the dollies. It was a 10 minute process just to strap the plane on. Installed these Erickson Straps in about 10 minutes on the dollies and am very happy. No I can strap the plane in about 30 seconds!
These bolt-on retractable straps are perfect for my truck rack. They are much more usable than the loose retractables I was using before, and much more dependable and safe than bungee cords. They make securing my ladders quick and easy. No more loose tails to tie up. On the weekend the ladders come off and my kayak takes their place. I highly recommend these straps. I have one on all 4 corners of my rack.
I have used these straps for a year and they have worked perfectly. I use them on my kayak rack and haven't had any problems with them keeping our kayaks secure.
so far so good. Was concerned about installing them on my tube lumber rack since the Straps are really meant for flat surfaces. Once bolted securely, they work as advertised. Love that the hook has a little pocket to sit in that keeps it from flopping around while not in use.
I ordered 2 sets and mounted them to my Curt Aluminum cargo platform. That way, the ratchet straps are right there when I need them--it saves time loading and unloading, and there is no excess strap to worry about. They are plenty strong for what I haul. Shipping is always quick from eTrailer!
Vince f - 08/31/2016Very good product but I like the pro grip top loader tie down straps better. There a lot heavier duty. I ordered both products for my ladder rack. They both serve there purpose but for lumber the heavier duty tie downs are better. The retractable ratchet straps work good for ladders.
First of all, these straps weren’t what I thought they were...that’s my fault. I wanted a strap that maintains retracting force when you pull it out, so that I could hook it on one side of the trailer then go to the other side to tighten it. This strap does not do that. It does retract, but only when you release it from the ratchet side. After a year, two of the four I bought still work, but I have to hit them hard to get them to retract. The webbing has frayed on all of them and I had to remove one because it no longer worked. They don’t seem to be built well enough to be left outside, and I don’t think they are a very good value.
Good while they lasted a few months. Less than a year and one of the straps broke, two will no longer retract automatically (have to crank them in inch by inch) and one still works but doesn’t retract the full length. Etrailer reached out to me wanting my feedback one year after purchasing. I told them the above and their reply was basically oh well they have a 90 day warranty. They asked for me to write a review so here it is.
This product will be used to secure a mobility scooter to a platform. The current straps I'm using have to be attached and threaded each time I use them. These retractable straps will simplify my task dramatically. I have to thank the customer-service people at etrailer.com, who kept me informed throughout the ordering and shipping process.
Bryan C - 05/20/2015The spring stopped working on both just a few months after installing. I like the bolt down feature
Very fast delivery. Great Service. Thank you.
Will be installing these on a kayak trailer. Will be great,not to have to deal with gathering up straps after unhooking. Then again after loading,and hooking back up. Hope they hold up being attached perminitly out in the weather though.
Jeff - 06/07/2018These are fantastic! I have one of them bolted down and put a short piece of chain & a hook on the other one. No more fumbling with loose ends of straps & trying to figure out which way the ratchet operates.
They only lasted 6-8 months. The ratchet itself works but the retractable part quit working. Not very pleased with product. We use them on our work truck to strap lumber. I have used wd-40 on them once a month
We have had no issues with any of the products purchased from Etrailer.com. Thank you, Amber Gray Buyer J-tec Industries, Inc.
These ratcheting tie downs bolted to my existing trailer to hold my Can Am securely from the front of the machine. The spring retraction feature makes using them quick with no loose strap material to flap in the wind. The quick release button is easy to use. Great product!!!
Very satisfied with this product. Very positive buying experience with etrailer.com. Will definitely be shopping here again.
Ken - 10/05/2015Had the buckles for about year and they are still strong as the day I purchased them! Thanks etrailer for a great product!
Purchased these to hold 14 kayaks on a trailer that we use for Special Olympics athletes. They work great- so much simpler to use than anything else we could find- important because different people use them every week, and it shortens the amount of time we spend loading and unloading them.
Pretty good overall. One minor complaint however: The retracting mechanism is a little sticky when there’s still about a foot of strap extended, but it’s easy enough to ratchet this section back in manually. Anyway, pretty good!
This was the second set of these I have purchased. These did the same as the last set. After about a month of use, I can't get them to release without using a screw driver. Not sure what causes this problem, but it's a problem. Won't buy anymore of this brand.
