This is a set of four 1x6, 2000 pound ratchet straps. As you can see here we have one on display and we'll show you a typical application of it. As you can see the strap comes in two pieces, we'll show you how it comes together and then how it works. First what you need to do is release the ratchet, thread the straps through and then get ready to tie down what you're going to tie down. To do that you pull back on this trigger here, it comes apart like that. You take your strap and run it through this axle here, and then back down through the bottom then take out your slack. What happens is, when you tighten it down, it coils up. Now we'll show you how this works by strapping a box down. To start out with you want to let your ratchet lay over the top, hook up the backside of it. What you don't want is to have any twists like this.
If you tighten it down with the twist it will put more strain on the straps. So you want to leave everything flat and hook up your front hook. Then you want to take your excess length and take up the slack like so. Now that we have it flattened, just pull it back to its retracting position and crank it down tight. You crank it down as tight as you want to so the load doesn't go anywhere. We'll cove the specs of these, it's a pretty simple device. They're one inch wide, six foot long straps with a 2000 pound rate of capacity. With this particular part number you get a set of four. It would be a good idea to keep these in the back of your truck or your car to tie down stuff. There you have it for part # 05519 from Erikson Manufacturing.

  • my strap is already wound up fully tight around the axil and am wondering how to release the strap from the axil. This means i cannot release the strap to seperate it because it is wound so tight.

  • @razorblade42069 Grab the handle as if you are going to tighten it even further. Then, pull the handle and put some tension on it but DO NOT click to the next tooth on the wheel. Once you have some of the tension off the wheel, you should be able to slide the reel release to let the wheel spin. I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else we can help you with!
