FORTEM Ratchet Straps 1650 lb, 15 ft set 🚚
Description:
This set of ratchet tie-down straps from FORTEM helps secure loads on trucks, trailers, or roof racks when moving gear or transporting cargo. With four 15-foot straps and matching cam buckles, the kit aims to balance ease of use and holding power for everyday hauling tasks.
Key Points
The kit includes four metal cam buckles with rubber-coated handles that improve grip when tightening or releasing the straps. Each strap measures 15 feet by 1 inch and is supplied with four soft loop ends for easier attachment around furniture legs, poles, or other anchor points. All components are stored in a compact zippered carry bag for easier organization and transport. Consider that the listed 1650 lb break strength refers to maximum tensile load according to the manufacturer and may not reflect working load limits recommended for specific applications.

- Strap Size: 15 ft x 1 in

Benefits
The relatively narrow 1-inch width makes these straps flexible for routing through tight spaces and wrapping around irregular shapes, while the 15-foot length gives enough reach for larger items. The rubberized handles on the cam buckles reduce slipping during operation and make releasing tension less awkward. The soft loops add protection to delicate surfaces and simplify anchoring without relying solely on hard hooks, so furniture and painted surfaces are less likely to scratch.
Usage Recommendations
Secure one end of a soft loop around an anchor point and thread the strap through the cam buckle, then tighten until the cargo is held snugly but not over-compressed. For heavier or high-motion loads, use multiple straps distributed evenly across the cargo to reduce strain on each point. Store the set in the included carry bag to keep straps clean and to prevent buckles from tangling between uses.
