A ratchet load strap may be overloaded if you notice any of these issues during use:

  • Ratchet won’t tighten or rotate.
  • Strap/chain is deformed, cracked, or worn.
  • Tensioner or hook is loose or bent.
  • Unusual noise or resistance occurs when using.

Do not use it further—stop immediately and replace the strap.
