Load Securement

At Holloway Houston, we offer a comprehensive range of load securement products designed to keep cargo in place during transportation from one location to another. Choosing the right tools helps avoid movement, damage, or safety issues on the road. From ratchet straps to tie-down chains, our collection covers a wide range of applications, including hauling small items in pickup trucks and handling heavy machinery.

Ratchet Straps

Ratchet straps are used for tightening cargo using a ratcheting device that pulls polyester webbing until it’s snug. These straps are available in various widths and load ratings, providing users with more options based on the size and type of cargo. Standard widths range from 1 inch for lighter items to 4 inches for heavier loads. Holloway Houston offers ratchet straps in several lengths, such as 10', 12', 15', 20', 27', 30', and 50'.

The hooks used also vary. You’ll find vinyl S hooks, double J wire hooks, flat hooks, and flat snap hooks. The breaking strength or MBS (minimum breaking strength) ranges from 4,200 lbs to 45,200 lbs. Webbing is commonly made of polyester, known for its low stretch and resistance to moisture. Hardware is typically made of steel and may have coatings to withstand weather conditions.

Many customers use these straps for flatbeds, trailers, and box trucks. The variety of hook types allows you to find the right fit for your anchor points. Holloway Houston offers over 30 combinations, so there’s likely an option ready to match your load size and anchor style.

Transport Chains and Chain Binders

When the job calls for something more substantial than webbing, transport chains are the next step. These are typically used in heavy equipment hauling, logging, and construction. Grade 70 transport chain is a common type found on our website, offering higher strength per link. Chain sizes available include 3/8" and 1/2", which are standard choices for transport jobs.

To keep chains tight, you’ll need chain binders. These come in two forms: ratchet binders and lever binders. Ratchet binders allow users to tighten the chain with greater control and are easier to handle. Lever binders offer quicker tensioning, but require careful handling to avoid recoil when released.

Transport chains and binders are often paired together. If you're using 3/8" chain, select binders that match the size and working load limit. Holloway Houston carries both the chains and the compatible binders, simplifying your setup. Each listing includes the specifications, allowing you to select the right size and grade.

Cargo Nets

When smaller items need to be held in place, cargo nets are a useful choice. These are used to cover tools, boxes, and gear in truck beds, trailers, or inside enclosed vans. The mesh keeps items from falling out or moving around. Cargo nets on our site are made from polyester or nylon and offer a firm grip and flexibility.

You’ll find cargo nets with hook attachments, such as S-hooks or D-rings, providing users with a way to fasten the net to anchor points on the vehicle. These nets are simple to use, lightweight, and save time when securing loose or mixed items.

Edge and Corner Protectors

To reduce damage during transport, edge protectors and corner protectors are added where webbing contacts the cargo. These parts act as buffers. Sharp edges or hard corners can weaken straps, and these protectors help reduce the wear. Holloway Houston stocks protectors made from plastic, rubber, or steel, offering different levels of resistance based on load type.

The protectors are designed to fit common strap widths, allowing them to be reused across multiple jobs. They also help distribute tension across a larger surface area, helping to keep loads stable.

Galvanized Aircraft Wire Rope Cable

Another product category for load handling is the galvanized aircraft wire rope cable. This cable is often used in tie-down or winching applications where higher strength and reduced stretch are needed. It's made of galvanized steel, offering protection against rust and corrosion. Though it’s not as flexible as straps, the strength-to-size ratio makes it a solid choice in industrial settings.

Holloway Houston supplies this wire rope in several sizes and constructions. If you're looking to support a heavy object or pull equipment into position, this type of cable may be better suited than webbing or chain.

Finding the Right Product for the Job

Choosing a product depends on the weight of the load, the transport method, and the available anchor points. For lighter goods, straps offer more control and easier handling. For large or heavy cargo, chains provide the needed strength. Cargo nets are helpful for small, spread-out items. Edge protectors offer support and help maintain equipment in better condition.
