Holloway Ratchet Straps for Cargo Securement
A ratchet strap is a load-securement device that uses a ratcheting mechanism to tension a woven web strap over a load on a flatbed, trailer, or truck bed. The ratchet allows progressive tensioning and locks in place, keeping cargo from shifting during transport.
Holloway Houston builds ratchet straps in four widths (1 inch, 2 inch, 4 inch) with WLL ratings matched to the strap width and configuration. Hook options include flat hooks, double J-hooks, flat snap hooks, and vinyl-coated S-hooks, the most common end fittings for flatbed and enclosed trailer securement.
Widths, WLL Ratings, and Hook Options
1-inch Ratchet Straps - WLL 1,400 lbs
The narrowest and lightest configuration. Used for lighter cargo and motorcycles. Length options include 10 and 12 feet on standard models.
2-inch Ratchet Straps - WLL 3,335 lbs
The standard width for most flatbed and trailer cargo securement. Available in 10, 12, 15, 20, 27, and 30-foot lengths. Flat hook, double J-hook, and flat snap hook configurations.

Why Holloway Houston
Holloway Houston manufactures ratchet straps in Houston, Texas under ISO 9001 quality management. The 65-year background in rigging and load securement means these are working straps - not promotional items - made to handle the daily cycle of tighten, load, transit, release that flatbed and transport work demands.
Multiple hook configurations in stock means drivers and fleet managers can match the strap to the trailer fitting without ordering custom hardware.
Strap Inspection
Ratchet straps warrant inspection before each use. Conditions indicating a strap needs closer evaluation include cuts, tears, or fraying to the webbing, bent or deformed ratchet hardware, broken stitching at the end fittings, and missing or illegible WLL markings. Straps showing these conditions warrant retirement per manufacturer guidelines and DOT requirements.
