Features:

  • Tie-downs let you secure cargo in your truck bed or trailer
  • Retractable straps automatically wind up into the built-in housings with the push of a button
    • Keeps excess strap from tangling or flapping in the wind
  • Ratchet mechanisms make it easy to tighten down straps and maintain tension on straps
    • Handles are easy to grip
  • Push buttons on ratchets quickly and easily release straps when you're ready to unload
  • Zinc-coated steel bodies are corrosion resistant
  • S-hooks have hardened steel cores to ensure that they won't bend or flex
  • Vinyl coating on S-hooks helps prevent scratches on your cargo


Specs:

  • Strap dimensions: 1" wide x 6' long

  • Length of fixed strap: 6-1/2" from loop end to hook start

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.

Much easier to take out of the trailer gear box. Doesen't turn in to a "snake ball" of tangled straps.



by:

Great product. Fair price. Quick shipping. Excellent customer service. I can always count on trailer.



by:

This are the best ratchet straps I have ever owned, I will use them to tie down some, very heavy, very old hit and miss engines to my trailer.



by:

Seem to be high quality, and they are very easy to operate. It's tough to find ratchet straps less than 10 feet, so these are a life-saver for me (we have a small trailer) and the 10 foot straps are too long to work. Love the release mechanism; even my 10 year old can use them no problem.



by:

These are not my first set of these tiedowns ! The continue to work flawlessly and keep the tied motorcycles MUCH safer to step around.. NO LOOSE ENDS !! good value as well.



by:

Great service, tie down straps arrived and performed as described when I first spoke to ordering department.
Button release performs as expected.
Delivery arrived at time promised,accompanied by an email from etrailer.

Great experience. I will purchase from etrailer again without hesitation.

Good job ETRAILER

Very nice quality I will be using these to hold dry bags on the roof of our motorhome. I like how they have no “bitter end” or tail flapping in the wind

These ratchet straps worked great holding gear bags down on the roof of our RV for 5 months while in Alaska. When we arrived home I used one strap to restrain movement on an implement after a very short time the strap broke. The ratchet portion on the straps have worked flawlessly when kept clean. The straps themselves are lightweight just pay attention to the weight of your load. Otherwise with lightweight use I’m very happy with them. I would rate them 4

I think that Erickson makes a GREAT retractable ratchet strap. It is well built with coated hooks,push button strap release & the strap is seat belt like material. I will be using these straps for tying down ATV'S. THESES STRAPS ARE GREAT !!!



by:

For someone like myself who trailers snowmobiles and boat maybe a handful each year, these are foolproof. It always seemed I was fumbling trying to figure out which way to feed the strap in to ratchet etc. usually having to undo and try again to tighten them or get too much strap caught up. These are effortless. My12 yr old did it with simple instructions. They appear to be of great quality also. Coated to help with rust etc. I'm writing this the day I received them so I unable to show pics. Just excited to share and believe there will be no disappointment Price very reasonable



by:

These are my first time purchasing and using Retractable Ratchet Straps. Since my purchase, I have used them twice. They have worked well thus far, but most products work as designed when new. The strap material seems to be light however fully I understand these straps are only designed for 500lb work load.
Time will tell how the quality of these straps.....From the mechanisms getting dirty from rain/dirt traveling down the road to the longevity of the strap material.



by:

Best tie-downs ever! We use the 1 inch straps to secure a motorcycle to a rack on the back of our RV. Been over 25,000 miles bouncing down the highway and these straps have never loosened. Wratching mechanism makes them so easy to use! Have recommended to many others!



by:

Glad I found these straps on the etrailer site as they are awesome. The retract design is great and the ratchet action with pushbutton release is smooth and easy .The wife loves how easy they are to get the Kubota mower strapped down and ready to go without all the tangles and knots or breaking a nail ! I will definitely buy from etrailer again with their great communication and super fast shipping .



by:

These were exactly what I was looking, I needed ratchet straps that could ratchet down to less than 15" from hook to hook and these can go less than 13". They ratchet smoothly and the retractable part of them prevents from having tails all over the place.



by:

The best to use and the easiest. Very strong. I carry four in my truck all the time and use to secure cargo. Also to secure my UTV in my cargo trailer. You can't go wrong.

I bought these for my wife to tie her ATV down to the trailer. She gets frustrated with normal ratchet ties; how to use them, broken nails, stow away the excess etc. These ones are intuitive and she quickly got the hang of them without reference to the instructions! First impressions are great and it seems to be a quality product.

Now if only there was a self-reversing trailer I could get her for Xmas...

This is an update to my original review these ties were used about 12 times with no problem. After that all 4 got stuck when under tension. No amount of pressing the button or taking tension off the suspension would release the wretched things. So I cut them all off and threw them away. Going back to the old annoyingly flappy, but reliable ratchets. Wife still cant reverse the trailer either...



by:

Your communication is very reassuring that you received and are processing my order. Also shipping was spot on

I’ve used the same kind for years still going strong just needed more. Hope they last as long use them all the time and these look just as nice

I've looked a long time to find ratchet-type, retractable straps I'd trust to hold my Ducati 1100S on it's Stinger trailer. I've found them. Thanks.

Nice ratchets for the price they will work perfect for tie ing my Triglide in my trailer



by:

I drove a rental trailer with a large bagger motorcycle and a sportbike from Central Ohio to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Zion and Rocky Mountain National Park then back to Ohio. I used 4 straps per bike: two on the bars (lightly compressed to protect the fork seals) and two on the rear wheels ratcheted down hard. I unloaded and reloaded the bikes 5 times total over 3 weeks. Nothing budged...ever. These straps are AMAZING!



by:

I am using these inside my modestly converted Sienna Minivan to tie down my eBike and camping supplies. Used them this weekend. Expensive, but worth it for me - big timesaver and my corgi inside the van does not move. Simple to tie down, quick to take down. Retractable feature is the key. Works as advertised, high quality product!

The retractable ratchet straps have been a winner all year. Looking back at these pictures I realize that since they were taken I converted my minivan by installing my self-designed internal, hard surface flat bed, including D-Rings a wood support frame with 38 4x8 plywood covered by heavy duty vinyl. The ratchets still hold down my cargo not corgi net loose loads and directly tie down my larger loads. I camp out for a week at a time with this setup and the straps make for quick loading and unloading of gear. NO QUESTION - would buy again, still holding up with minor wear and tear.



by:

So much easier that traditional ratchet straps in both hooking them up and releasing them. Makes strapping my motorcycle down an easy, one man job.

Perfect for securing my grill on my fold down bumper-mounted rack. Part number e99050. Well-made

  • Recommended Wheel Chair Carrier For Elite 14 Power Wheelchair
    For an Elite 14 Power Wheelchair, my searches have shown a weight of 224 lbs. This weight along with the width of 24.5 inches leads me to recommend the Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Cargo Carrier w/ 48" Long Ramp # FHG77ZR. This is a strong steel carrier with a ramp. It is able to fold for storage when it is not in use and has reflectors to be seen at night. I have linked the page for more of our cargo carrier options. I also recommend using tie downs like # EM34420. If you are looking...

We have adapter hoses like the MB Sturgis Dual Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance # 100395-120-MBS which has a 1/4" Male Model 250 quick-disconnect end that could connect to your RV propane, and a 1/4" Female Model 250 quick-disconnect end for connecting to various small appliances.

  • Cargo Net and Tie Down Straps for Securing Cargo in Thule Rooftop Cargo basket # TH859XT-8591XT
    The Thule rooftop cargo basket # TH859XT-8591XT can use Cargo Net # CS54FR but please do keep in mind that the size and shape of the loaded items can affect your best choice of net or tie-down straps. It really comes down to the specific size, shape and weight of the items you'll place in the basket. You may prefer to use some tie-down straps like 4-piece set # ETBMB-05852 or # EM34420 if the items are large enough to catch a lot of wind. At highway speeds solidly securing the items is...

  • Can a Roof Cargo Box be Legally Carried on a Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
    When carried on a trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier such as # C18110 or any cargo carrier, your cargo box would be considered the load on it and not necessarily part of the cargo carrier assembly. As such it would be legal provided that the cargo box is properly secured to the cargo carrier. If you do not want the box permanently mounted to the carrier you could use ratchet straps, such as # EM34420 to secure it to the carrier. Another option is to us a cargo bag on the carrier, #...

    While we do have a possible solution, we do not carry a bike rack that can accommodate your 65-pound Aventon Adventure E-bike and still keep you under 100 pounds of tongue weight. The RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007 you looked at unfortunately won't work because it only offers you 60 pounds of bike weight capacity, which is not enough for your bike. The only feasible option is to use the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. With this trailer, the total tongue weight you will...

    Yes, the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is the correct choice for your 2010 Lazy Daze motorhome with the Ford E-450 Chassis. This hitch is capable of supporting 500lbs of vertical load. For a small motorcycle carrier I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp # e98873. It weighs in at 58lbs which will allow you a motorcycle up to 442lbs. The track is 76-1/4" long x 4-7/8" wide. And to strap the bikes in some Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # EM34420...

    Jeep's online manual for the 2016 Wrangler Unlimited indicates that the hard top is not designed to carry any additional loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting, or camping supplies, or luggage, etc. Kayaks fall into this list of exclusions as well. The best recommendation I can make for you is to install both rear- and front-mount hitch receivers and to use load supports to hold the kayaks. We offer a rear-mount 2-inch hitch # 13432 and a front-mount hitch # 31432 that...

    There are a few different options for tonneau covers that will fit ladder racks on your 2020 Ford F-150 Super Cab (5'7" bed). For a soft, economic cover, I recommend the Access TonnoSport Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A22010369. The TonnoSport cover involves a clamp-on installation and is the most affordable access roll-up cover. For a mid-range hard cover that will fit a ladder rack, I recommend the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Black # AB1010019. The Lomax Hard...

The biggest issue comes from properly securing the bikes and ensuring they do no shift too much or leave the carrier all together.

If you need to add weight capacity to the trailer, use Yakima's heavy-duty shock kit # Y08110 which increases total load carrying to 350-lbs.

  • Recommended Method to Transport 120-lb Jon Boat on 2004 Toyota Highlander with Factory Roof Rack
    A good first step is a check of your 2004 Toyota Highlander owner's manual to confirm the vehicle's roof weight carrying capacity. A boat of 120-lbs could certainly be near or even over the vehicle roof weight limit so I suggest you check on that before proceeding. I reviewed several online documents suggesting a limit between 100- and 120-lbs, but your manual should indicate the weight capacity of your particular Highlander as it is equipped from the factory.

    The Ultra-Fab motorcycle carrier # UF48-979033 is the only one that is rated for use at the back of a motor home so it would be the best option. However, there are some issues that you need to be aware of. Carrying large items at the front of your 2014 Toyota Tundra does present a couple of issues. First is the capacity issue.

The hitch on your 2004 Chevrolet Suburban needs to have a tongue weight (TW) rating high enough for the combined weight of your bike and the carrier that will hold it.

Erikson does have a Re-Tractable Rachet Strap that allows the hook to fully retract. It's part # EM34417. The only drawback to this is that there is only one hook. However, it still has the option to be bolted down, so it can still work. I've linked to a video review of this strap for you to look at.
