Description
When you secure your cargo with ShockStrap, you do not need to tighten the ratchet to the very last click, your cargo is secure once the urethane piece is engaged. To engage the urethane piece, tighten your straps until the webbing is “guitar string tight“, and then stop ratcheting. There will still be room between the safety strap and urethane piece, and your hand will be able to fit between the two.
Our 2” ShockStrap Ratchet Safety Strap has an industry leading 2 year warranty and a breaking strength of over 6000 lbs. The Ratchet Safety Strap is built with a commercial grade ratchet, 2” black Polyester webbing, integrated soft ties, double steel hooks, and our unique flexible ShockStraps.
We incorporated a Safety Strap on one side of the ShockStrap for two very important reasons: first, if a catastrophic accident happened and the ShockStrap were to break, the Safety Strap would keep the tie down tight and your load secure; second, the Safety Strap also acts as a limiter so you won’t over-tighten or put undue stress on your load.
Our 2” Polyester webbing has a 8000lb breaking strength and the overall Ratchet Safety Strap has a 2000LBS working load limit. The commercial grade ratchet has an outside release for ease of use even with gloves on. It is bolted on so you can replace it in the future and keep your investment working. We continue to use Polyester webbing because it has superior attributes, it stretches less, is more resistant to rot and mildew, has a higher strength rating and a softer feel in your hands.
We doubled the hooks and added a yellow zinc chromate finish which offers better weather resistance and durability compared to standard chrome plating. Next to each hook there is an integrated soft loop to use when the hook won’t fit. You can wrap the soft loop around an axle or handlebar and pull it tight against the hook.
ShockStraps are made from a proprietary formula and are not affected by most chemicals, sunlight, oil, salt water, fungus or moisture. The strength of our product comes from the ability of the ShockStrap to maintain constant pressure on the strap when hitting bumps or having side pressure applied to it. You won’t be pulling over every 50 miles or at a gas station break to retighten ShockStraps.

- Durable – Made from our proprietary formula that is not affected by most chemicals, sunlight, oil, salt water, fungus or moisture

I thought you would like to know your new straps are a winner. I just took my 74 Bronco on a flat bed to Moab and it is the first time I didn’t have to pull over and ratchet my straps at least once while driving. I have to admit I was nervous since you don’t have a clip on your hook but you said they don’t come loose and I didn’t need it. I don’t think I ever had a trip with my old straps where I didn’t pull over and retighten them. I know I will be using these for years!

We have been using ShockStraps for a few months now securing RZR’s, Rangers, General’s, ATV’s, ACE’s in our show semi’s and so far have had great success with them. When the drivers arrive the units are right where they secured them resulting in big savings not having damaged units.

Several years ago I had my 4 wheeler on a trailer heading from home to the hunting lease. The trailer didn’t have a back gate, but I secured the heck out of it with ratchet straps and tie downs. I could see it in my rear view mirror but hadn’t looked back in a few miles so I glanced back and…. It wasn’t there. I turned to my wife riding next to me in the front seat and asked the dumbest question I could muster up…”Where’s the 4 wheeler?!” Needless to say I did a quick u turn and had visions of miles of wreckage like a plane crash as I drove back to find it. When I crested a hill about 3 miles back, there it sat in the middle of the road completely un-damaged. I couldn’t believe it! Needless to say I’ve been searching for a solution for those stupid cheap ratchet straps ever since. I just purchased 4 of yours and expect they will be the last ones I ever need. I found out about your product at the Dallas Safari Club convention and only wish I found you years earlier. I haven’t seen any other product like this on the market! Thank you!!

My wife and I spoke with you at the rodeo show in Vegas. I am from Buffalo NY and we discussed Biketoberfest (Daytona) I recently traveled to Kissimmee Fl for the Mecum auction. On the way down I used 2 shockstraps on my Harley, it did not move but my corvette slid 6″ sideways in the trailer. Only had 2 shockstraps so I put them on my car on the return to Buffalo. Car did not move at all.
I paid you for straps and you said I could have more at that price plus shipping. I would like 15 more ,4 for myself and 11 to show to Buffalo Harley, Wyoming Harley etc. Would like to try and promote shockstrap here in Buffalo area. I can verify how well they work. Also Mecum auctions has a vendor area at auctions and I think shockstrap would do well there. People purchase cars from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. 3000 cars were offered at Kissimmee. They have 15-20 auctions yearly across the US and sell Cars,Motorcycles and Tractors. Thanks again.
