ratchet straps

Ratchet straps are sturdy, adjustable straps used to secure loads during transport. They consist of a long piece of webbing with a ratchet mechanism that tightens the strap to hold items in place. To use one, you feed the strap through the ratchet, pull it tight, and then ratchet it further to increase tension. This ensures the load remains stable and safe while being moved, whether in a truck, trailer, or storage. They are commonly used in various industries and everyday life for securing furniture, equipment, or cargo to prevent shifting or damage.
