Flatbed Straps are typically 4" x 30' winch straps and are tightened down using a mounted winch or ratchet handle. Flatbed trailer straps are one of a trucker's most important pieces of equipment. A flatbedder's job is to safely deliver valuable cargo to its destination. They drive through wind, rain, and rush hour traffic, stopping and starting alongside road ragers who may or may not use a blinker and who may or may not have any consideration for the stopping distance required of a fully stocked 18 wheeler. Flatbed straps keep cargo tightly secured to prevent any shifting, and they have to hold up to the rigors of the job. This webbing is Made in the USA with 100% first quality yarns.

The US-Made Difference
1.
Higher denier yarn with tighter weaving pattern:This means that the individual strands of yarn are thicker, and they are woven more closely together. This gives the webbing its increased breaking strength (20,000 lb versus the standard 16,200 lb) and results in a highly abrasion-resistant fabric that is actually softer and more pliable than lower quality straps.
2.
Higher quality control standards:. This strap is not just "assembled in the US". Every part of the process is done in an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approved facility, including the weaving, dying, cutting, and sewing. The only thing
not exclusively produced domestically is the metal hardware. This allows for close, direct oversight, with the ability to cease production and immediately fix any problems, as opposed to receiving a "bad batch" months after production, with no way of knowing the extent of the damage.
3.
Higher attention to detail: Small things add up, and when greater care is being taken when producing a product, you can tell. The overlapped portion of this strap, which loops around the flat hook, is almost twice the length than competitors' straps. This is the area where most straps fail, but with the embedded edge defender and the increased overlapping, that problem is more than solved. In addition, all stitching is straight and even, giving it a sleek professional appearance.
4.
Supporting our economy: By buying these domestically-produced winch straps, you are not only investing in a better cargo control solution, you are putting money back into our country which helps hard workers to provide for themselves and their families.
Even though these straps are stronger and more abrasion resistant, it's still a good idea to protect them with sturdy edge protectors.
