Ratchet Strap
Also known as
Tie-Down Strap, Ratchet Tie-Down, Cam Strap, Cargo Strap
Used for
Securing equipment, cases, and loads in trucks and on trailers. Also used on stage to tie down cable ramps, scenic elements, and temporary flooring that needs to stay put.
Trade note
The ratchet mechanism allows the strap to be tightened incrementally without loosening — pull slack through, click the ratchet, repeat. Cam straps (no ratchet) are faster but less secure under vibration. Always check the WLL (working load limit) on the label before use.
