Ratchet Straps

[shooterdon]

I would like to get some good quality ratchet straps to hold down totes of wood that will weigh about 2500 pounds.

Any recommendations?

Why straps vs chain for those loads?
I usually reserve my heavy duty straps for things my chain would mark up.

What sort of totes weigh 2500lb? I'm guessing they're not run of the mill rubber-maids.

A 300 gallon IBC tote filled with water would weigh about that much, I'd guess a 300 gallon tote packed tightly with wet freshly cut oak or elm could be near as much.

Straps made by Ancra have been around for decades.

Check out AW Direct / Zips. they have most everything you would need.

Not sure where you are but also Triple A sling in Grand Rapids.

These hold just under 1/2 a cord of firewood.

That would be more like < 2,000 lbs.

That would be more like < 2,000 lbs.

A cord of green Red Oak weighs 4900 lbs. Half of that is 2450 lbs. The IBC tote weighs 120 lbs.

Some species of wood are denser than others. Most of what I use is oak, and maple with a bit of birch. We get ash too and it weighs over 5000 lbs/cord but I mix it with slower burning woods for firewood.

I get mine here. You can specify the WLL, length, color, size, and ends. I put d-rings every 2' in the stake pockets and use twisted snaplhooks on the 2" 10,000# straps. That way I can put them on and tighten them down by myself. Even if they loosen up they can't come off. The second link is to the ones I buy. I use axle straps on the pipe top trailer to position the straps where I need them and on the load if needed.

Their retractable ratchet straps are amazing for lighter loads, and the WLL goes on up from there.
