3" Tie Down Strap with Chain Extension

When you need serious holding power without the bulk of a 4" strap, these 3" ratchet tie downs are the perfect solution. The low-stretch polyester webbing is tough enough for heavy-duty cargo securement yet soft enough to help protect your load. The ratchet mechanism makes it easy to achieve the exact tension you need, without relying solely on operator strength.

Built for Strength and Longevity

These straps are made with industrial-grade webbing that’s woven with slightly thicker yarn and more picks per inch than most competitors. Each strap end is heat-sealed for added durability, giving you extra resistance against abrasion, tearing, and cutting. The ratchet and chain extensions are finished with a zinc coating to stand up to rust and corrosion on the road.

Why Choose 3/8" Chain Extension Hardware?

The 18" chain extension combines the strength of Grade 70 transport chain with the flexibility of polyester webbing. This setup makes it easy to tie down cargo using rub rails or stake pockets on your trailer—without risking damage to the strap itself. Each extension includes a 3" D-ring and a clevis grab hook for quick, secure connections.

These straps give you the best of both worlds: the durability of chain where you need it, and the versatility of webbing for everything else.

Compliant with Industry Standards

All of US Cargo Control's ratchet straps are tagged and stenciled with the working load limit to meet FMCSA and DOT regulations, CVSA and WSTDA guidelines, and North American Cargo Securement standards.

Ratchet Use Guidelines

According to the WSTDA (section 4.6.8): "When using web tie downs with a winch or ratchet, a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 wraps of webbing shall be wound on the winch or ratchet mandrel. Excessive wraps of webbing on the mandrel may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the web tie down and may interfere with proper operation."
