Description
Our 9’ 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.
SHOCKSTRAP FEATURES:
- Dependable – A ShockStrap provides superior shock absorption without coming loose
- Safety Strap – A backup strap in case the ShockStrap is compromised
- Durable – Made from our proprietary formula that is not affected by most chemicals, sunlight, oil, salt water, fungus or moisture
- Rust Resistant – Hooks and buckle are yellow zinc coated, which lasts 8 to 10 times longer than chrome plating
- Soft Loop – flexibility to always find a way to secure your load

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.

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!!

I have used shock strap for over 10 years. Just by looking at it the first time I could see that the urethane will absorb the rocking motion of any load but still keeping in place. After the first trip with 4 wheelers I was sold, and have been ever sense, doesn’t matter what I’m hauling my shock straps secure the load. Now I’m so excited for the new racket system, for all of the super loads and UTVs side by sides. to put amazing pressure on our loads. Not only does it work amazing but there is a safety strap if the worst would happen. I have even went as a far and tested it as tow strap and works great. You won’t believe how amazing they are until you try them.

These are, by far, the best straps I have ever used. From the ATV to the tractor and everything in between. Easy to use, well thought out and designed and made right. I won’t use any other type of straps ever again. Glad I ran into you at the IBS show several years ago!!

I recently bought a Polaris Ranger Crew 900 and Polaris straps to bring it home. When I pulled into my driveway 2 straps were loose and 2 were completely off! A friend suggested I try your new ratchet straps. After 3 trips and zero times having any issues I wanted to let you know I will know tell all of my friends about them.

I bought 4 of your 9ft ratchet straps last January at Cowboy Christmas. We haul our Land Cruiser rock crawler to Moab from Billings a couple times a year. It is so nice to drive and not worry about my straps needing to be ratcheted several times a trip. My crawler weights around 6000lbs and the cool thing is I only have to tighten my straps about 8 clicks so releasing the ratchet is easier. In the past I had to hammer the straps and still stop to tighten them again when we were on the road.

WOW, These get a grip and don’t turn lose
I done my best to get them to give in to me with sudden stops and fast acceleration
They are the best I’ve ever had and I’ve had my fair share of ones that don’t compare in anyway to these
Thanks
Great Job

I am currently using the 2” strap I purchased from you at the Sacramento ISE on my side by side that I haul on my Jumping Jack Trailer.
Before I would have to stop and check the “old straps” to make sure they had not loosened up.. But with the “New Ones” that is a thing of the past.. They
stay tight the hole trip..
Thanks!!

I finally got to use my new shockstraps and let me tell you they work better than any other strap I have ever used to haul a race car with! I would definitely suggest to get a set of them! We drove 3 and half hours this weekend to a track and when we got there the straps were still tight. Best strap there is in my opinion!! Thanks Shockstraps!!!

Just a quick note to let you know how well the 2-inch Shock straps performed on my recent hunting trip to Quebec. I secured my Polaris Ranger to my trailer with 2 of your straps in the rear and a conventional strap over the front bumper. Twenty hours of rough roads later,one half of the conventional strap was gone. Your straps had not moved. Same thing on the way home, except I tried a different conventional strap on the front. It was off in short order. So I used one Shock strap on the front and one on the back and they never moved! Truly a great product and worth every penny. I will be purchasing more. Thanks.

BEST RATCHET STRAP!!!! I started off buying a commercial grade set of 4, 2in ratchet straps and tied my side by side down. Within 3 miles of travel they were loose. I called Fred @ ShockStrap and purchased his ratchet straps. I drove 500 miles and never had to adjust the ShockStraps!!! I just told a buddy about them and he is going to buy them also!!!

I have used a lot of tie downs before, starting with the ever annoying steal cable come along. If you didn’t hurt yourself with the cable, you’d forget it was there(not visible) and trip over the side of the trailer. Next came the ratchet strap, big improvement however they had the issue of set, reset, re-ratchet and pull over and check every time you think it’s moving. My most recent experience this weekend involved picking up a vehicle ready to transport from Arizona to Texas and it was “ready to go”. While stopping to check the car & trailer I don’t know how but I crossed paths with Justin Merrill in Lordsburg, NM and was introduced to ShockStrap. This is the best product I have ever used when it comes to securing a vehicle on a trailer. We loaded, set and secured the vehicle with ShockStrap and I continued my trip worry free. The vehicle was left secured on the trailer and several people have looked at the vehicle and the comments include “I have never seen this system of tie downs, how did they work?” My weekend story was not the vehicle rather the ShockStrap and what a great product they are. Thank you Justin!

Hi Fred,
I’ve been meaning to send you these pics for a long time. Got your strap at the overland expo. It works great to ease the load when we have 4 bikes hanging off the end of our EarthRoamer. This is our third bike rack. This time we bought a oneup…which is supposed to be very strong, but we added your strap just in case. The give in the strap helps to ease the stress on the rack especially when we are bumping along a dirt road.
