ratchet straps

Toothed tensioning bands

Ratchet straps are heavy-duty tie-down straps with a ratcheting mechanism that allows you to tighten them incrementally and lock them in place.

They're used to secure cargo on trucks, trailers, and roof racks: Make sure the ratchet straps are tight before we hit the highway.

The ratchet provides more tension than simple cam buckle straps, making them standard equipment for hauling furniture, motorcycles, or anything that might shift in transit.
