Truck tie down says about a lot different things to different people, we will talk about 18 wheeler tie downs in our discussion, more precisely, we will talk about flat beds only, probably you’ve already seen them on the highway or truck stop.
There are all kinds of loads on the flat bed truck, just because they can or they have to , the needs for tie downs can be complicated. We are going to introduce truck tie down straps only, since the are popular tie down devices on flatbeds, and it should be the most popular tie downs on all trucks as well.
New flatbeds usually will have truck winches installed, this is a big plus for hauling stuff can be secured by winch strap. There is one thing indispensable for truck winch and winch strap tie down combination, winch bar, which is the tool to help you secure the cargo on the flatbed, since you can only tighten the winch straps through turning winch barrel, this only can be done by making use of winch bars.
Usually most flatbeds will be sold with winches installed, there are still some of them come without winches though, in this case the drivers may use ratchet straps or binder chains as alternative.

Usually we see flat hooks at one end of the winch straps, the use of flat hook sometimes is by convention, sometimes by choice, because the flat hook is easy on flatbeds, and double J hooks can be used as well, mostly seen on 2” winch straps. Truck winches come in with two different width, 2” and 4”, while there are 2”, 3” and 4” winch straps available, if you were to use 3” winch strap you only can put it into 4” winch for sure, even the width availability of winch straps is limited, the length is not, though there are usually no winch straps shorter than 20′, these straps can be more than 60 feet long! And the best selling length is 27′ and 30′, 4” wide.
OK, now let’s talk about ratchet straps which are the most popular tie down devices for all kinds of trucks or hauling businesses. In reality the ratchet straps are just the assembly of ratchet buckles and tie down webbing, which can be nylon or polyester, the combination of different ratchet buckles and different straps gives us many choices.
