- • Best for: Owners transporting motorcycles, kayaks and general cargo on trailers or roof racks

Four ratchet straps supplied with soft loops, coated S-hooks and a compact carrying case. Rubber-coated stainless steel handles and polyester webbing improve grip and weather resistance.
Secure, reliable lashing - with metal ratchet buckles and rubber grips
Metal ratchet buckles use a toothed mechanism that tightens the webbing incrementally while rubber-coated handles increase leverage and control during ratcheting. A smooth release latch allows controlled loosening when unloading.
Firm tension locks loads in place during transit, reducing movement and rattle. Ergonomic grips make tightening quicker and less tiring, even with gloves on.
Versatile anchoring options - with soft loop straps and coated S-hooks
Soft loop straps create anchor points by wrapping around frames or rails, avoiding the need for fixed anchors; coated S-hooks allow fast attachment to existing tie-down points and resist corrosion.
Adaptable setup suits motorcycles, kayaks and roof racks, so a range of items can be secured without extra hardware. Quick changes between anchor types speed up loading and unloading.
Weather-ready durability - with polyester webbing and coated hardware
Heavy-duty polyester net webbing resists stretch and dries quickly after exposure to moisture, while S-hooks are coated and handles are rubber-coated over stainless steel to reduce corrosion risk.
Wet-weather resilience helps maintain strength during rainy trips and simplifies storage afterwards. Robust materials extend service life for regular outdoor use.
