Recommended Ratchet Straps for UTV Trailer That Are Easy To Operate

Published 05/19/2022

Question:

I really like the cargo buckle system. My arthritic hands can easily handle the mini-cargo buckle that is so much easier to operate than standard ratchets. I need a longer, heavier duty ratchet to hold down UTV to trailer. Two inch wide and about 15 feet long with a REAL SIMPLE EASY MECHANISM LIKE CARGO BUCKLE WOULD BE NICE. tHANKS FOR THE CARGO BUCKLE MINI

For a 2" wide strap for your UTV trailer I recommend the SmartStraps Ratchet-X Tie-Down Strap w/ Double J-Hooks - 2" x 30' - 3,333 lbs # 348167. This is a little bit longer but I think the mechanism will be the best for a strap that fits your needs since there is not an option like your CargoBuckle that is long enough or wide enough.

This has a large, padded Power Grip handle which makes it easy to hold and operate. The release is easy to operate and padded as well. It has a safe working load limit of 3,333 lbs and break strength of 10,000 lbs. This strap uses plated-steel J-hooks and also comes with a storage case.

I have attached a review video for your reference.
