Breaking Strength (B/S) = 3  X Working Load Limit (WLL)

Webbing straps must be protected when used on rough or sharp objects.  Straps that are cut, worn or otherwise damaged should not be used.

A strap is only as strong as its weakest component.

Capacity Ratings

  • Breaking Strengths are based on the minimum load, a  component or assembly will withstand before failing.  WORKING LOAD LIMITS (W.L.L.) are rated at one-third of the minimum breaking strength.  Unless otherwise specified, all ratings are based on a straight tensile.  Load directions other than straight can result in a significant reduction in breaking strength.

¡@

  • The component with the lowest minimum breaking strength determines the rating of the strap assembly or cargo tie-down system.  Tie-downs must be attached to securing points of equal or greater strength for break-strength rating to be maintained.  All straps are intended to be used as cargo securing devices.  No straps are to be used for lifting purposes, except slings.

¡@

  • All ratings are for products in new condition.  Age, wear or damage to any tie-down system can greatly reduce its rating.  All products should be inspected on a regular basis.  All worn, deformed or damaged products should immediately be removed from service and replaced
