Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at our ShockStrap ratcheting tie-down straps. So for the most part the ShockStraps are gonna be very similar to a regular ratchet strap. They've got their ratcheting mechanism with a really large easy-to-use coated handle, all of the zinc-plated hardware, to keep it resisting rust and corrosion over time. And you've got the coated S-hooks on the end for your tie-down points. Now for us, we aren't utilizing the tie-down points on our carrier because the S-hooks are a bit large.

That's great though because these straps come with these soft loops. So you can loop it around any sort of fragile points, maybe like a handlebar on your motorcycle or your ATV or just around your carrier or wherever you need to tie down. Hook the strap to that free zone loop and then you can tighten it down that way. The other unique thing is the shock absorber right here in the middle of the strap. This is gonna be a urethane-based material that resists any sort of extreme temperature changes and will stay durable over time.

And what it does, as you tighten down the ratcheting mechanism, this is going to stretch out. What that'll do is maintain a constant pressure on the ratchet strap. This is great for things like our motorcycle that have suspension. So if for whatever reason that suspension we're to move and travel the load we're to shift, this is going to make sure that the strap stays tight. It'll kind of absorb that and then stretch back out to its natural state after the load has finished moving.

Now it may not translate super well in video and it's definitely hard to explain how this works, but after using the regular ratchet straps on this carrier driving around with it last night and working with it today and seeing the difference in how firm it's holding the front end of the motorcycle now with the ShockStraps, it really does make a difference. I'm noticing a substantial amount of just sturdiness in the carrier. It's not shaking back and forth as much. And I feel like it's a lot more stable. A couple things about the straps, they're gonna be an inch and a half wide and seven feet long.

On that note though, they do have a minimum usable length because with the actual shock absorber there needs to be some room for it to move and have tension on it. So that minimum usable length is gonna be 29 inches. If your distance from your tie-down point to whatever you're carrying is less than that, these aren't gonna work and you're gonna need to use a traditional ratchet strap. As far as the weight capacity goes, you're gonna have a safe working load limit of 1,000 pounds and a brake strength of 3,000 pounds, and that's per strap. Setting the straps up on our motorcycle carrier, The S-hooks are a little bit large for the tie-down points that we have. So we're gonna be utilizing the soft loops to wrap around the carrier. Whenever I'm doing that, I'm just gonna make sure I've got it oriented properly so that the handle of the ratcheting mechanism is face out where it's gonna be accessible for me. Use the S-hook to hook onto that soft loop. And you can see once it's pulled tight, it's gonna be just pulling on the carrier there as a nice anchor point. We've got one on the other side and it's working really well. Our ratchet will end up somewhere around here and I'm gonna grab the free end of it and pick a spot on the carrier to wrap it through. Where we went on the other side is right around here, so I'm just gonna match that up. Again, feeding the S-hook and latching it through the soft loop end. Our ramp does present some unique clearance issues but we can just feed it in from the side like that. S-hook to the soft loop end. And then the free end, we're just gonna feed up and over top the handlebars, avoiding any brake lines, just feeding it through metal pieces where it's gonna have a good strong hold just like that.
