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 room between the safety strap and urethane piece, and your hand will be able to fit between the two.
Our 7′ ShockStrap Ratchet Safety Strap has an industry leading 2 year warranty.
The breaking strength is over 3,000 lbs. Built with a commercial grade ratchet, 1 1/2″ black Polyester webbing, integrated soft ties, oversized hooks with retention clips, and our unique flexible ShockStrap. We incorporated a Safety Strap on one side of the ShockStrap for 2 reasons: 1) if a catastrophic accident happened and the ShockStrap breaks, the Safety Strap will keep the tie down tight and in place and 2) the Safety Strap also acts as a limiter so you won’t over-tighten and stress everything you are trying to secure.
Our 1 1/2” Polyester webbing has a 4,000 lbs breaking strength and the overall Ratchet Safety Strap has a 1000 lbs 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 added retention clips to the hooks with 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. This lets you use the soft loop when the hook won’t fit so that you can wrap it around an axle or handlebar and pull it tight against the hook.
Our ShockStrap is made from a proprietary formula and is not affected by most chemicals, sunlight, oil, salt water, fungus or moisture. The strength of our product is to make everything work together so that the ShockStrap maintains 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.

I’ve been an avid ShockStrap user for the past 3 yrs, trailering my UTV between Southeast KS and the CO mountains without ever experiencing one loose strap!
The ratcheting mechanism is the highest quality I’ve ever seen. Even my oldest ShockStrap still looks like new.
I never go on a trip without someone asking me what kind of tie down straps am I using? All my friends are now using ShockStraps, too.
Fred Gill is one fine fellow and always takes time for his customers.
One Tip –
Every month, or so, I spray the ratchet mechanisms with a little silicone spray to keep them working like new.

We first met Fred Gill at a Dallas Safari Club Expo. He was demonstrating a variety of his now famous ShockStraps so, we stopped for a look and a chat with Fred.
I was immediately impressed with their innovative design and stretch recovery! We were with another couple and both of us guys decided we just had to have a set of Fred’s ShockStraps to tie down each of our UTV’s for our annual road trips.
I purchased a pr each of the 7 & 9 ft straps and have since ordered additional sets for friends.
Due to their design I’ve never found any equipment these straps won’t adjust to and hold. They’re quick & easy to use with heavy duty ratchets and hooks of the highest quality.
I’ll never go back to using a regular style ratchet strap since I’ve discovered the versatility of the ShockStrap!

Huge shoutout to you guys. Bought two straps from Canadian tire to see what the hype was all about. Going to buy another set come spring. Maybe two more as well. It’s holding my diesel Brutus down easily. It starts strapped and stays strapped for sure. Love the length of them too and the clips are so much better than just the simple hooks on my other straps. Thank you for doing what you do.

My name is Chuck. I bought two of your shock straps over a month ago. I went on a 2700 mile trip hauling my tubo RZR, using your straps. Not once did the straps come loose. We had some good roads and some bad roads. Your straps worked better than I ever thought they would. Good product. Very happy customer. Chuck in Oregon.
