4" x 30' Ratchet Strap with Flat Hook — Flatbed Tie-Down, 5,400 lb WLL

A 4-inch ratchet strap is the workhorse for heavy flatbed freight. The wider webbing spreads the clamping force across the load, and the 5,400 lb Working Load Limit covers machinery, coils, and banded lumber that a 2-inch strap isn't rated for. Hook the flat end into the side rail, throw the webbing over the load, and ratchet it down until it sits tight.

This is the strap most flatbedders run as their main tie-down on heavier loads. Match the number of straps to the weight and the securement rules for the freight you haul, and keep the Working Load Limit tag legible for DOT inspections. Inspect the webbing and hook before every trip and retire any strap with cuts, fraying, or a bent hook. A 5,400 lb strap covers most single-axle machinery and coil freight without doubling up.
