If you are looking for a ratchet strap alternative to secure a load, here’s an easy and intuitive solution.
We came across TieBoss® tie downs when my brother flew his private plane to visit us. As he was unloading the plane, he tossed a canvas bag of TieBoss® tie-down units over and had me secure the aircraft to three securement points on the tarmac. I had never seen this type of tie-down before, and I assumed they were a specialty aviation item. He assured me they were not and that a pilot friend had given them to him as a gift. I used them without coaching - they are self-explanatory.
The TieBoss® must be set up before use, but it is simple, and there is a very good set of instructions included, complete with pictograms. The rope end hook needs to be attached to the labeled end of the rope using a non-slip knot (there is a diagram to do it). The main body hook is installed, and the product is ready to go to work.
The ¼” (6.35 mm) unit has a working load limit of 150 lbs (68 kg), and the ⅜” (9.5 mm) unit possesses a working load limit of 300 lbs (136 kg). This product uses a patented, serrated jam cleat, similar to how a Venetian blind operates, allowing you to operate it using one hand.
When securing a load, you can take a couple of approaches.
You can attach the hook on the unit body to your load and affix the hook on the other end of the rope and tighten it, securing the rope in the jam cleat, under the locking tab and then tying off the rope end.
Another way is to affix the main hook on the unit body, and then use the rope to loop the rope around the object being secured (ATV, UTV, lawn tractor, motorcycle, etc.) and back to the hole in the unit. This gives you a 2 to 1 advantage and will create high tension on the rope and the load, securing it in place. Be sure to use the combination of the jam cleat, locking tab, and rope tie-off.
The TieBoss® is versatile and can be used for a variety of uses and settings, including camping, hunting, car top carriers, hard-top storage, sports equipment and ladder storage, and so forth.
Because of its pulley-like action, there are dozens of uses. With the optional TieBoss® block and tackle, even more jobs can be taken pon with the unit, including camping and hunting tasks.
We think this is a legitimate solution to many tasks and problems around the home, shop, vehicle, or field.
