For flatbed trucks there is one thing which is essential , the truck winch, if your flatbed doesn’t have them, you’d better get them installed then you only need winch straps to tie down loads on truck bed , and the winches usually have 2 sizes, 2” and 4”, and of course there are 2” & 4” winch straps which can be used with 2” and 4” winches respectively. Occasionally people are looking for 3” winch straps, which is not as popular as 2” & 4” winch straps but people have their use for them.
The concept of truck winches with winch straps are pretty straight forward, the component of both truck winch and ratchet that the tie down straps are inserted into for tightening the whole web tie down straps called mandrel, the mechanism to tighten the straps on truck winch is different than the self contained ratchets, you will need the help of winch bars to tighten the winch straps. The winch structure is pretty simple, there is a barrel goes through the winch body, one side has a though hole and the other side has a gear with a brake, in between lies the mandrel, just put the straps into it, since the gear has a brake, when you turn the barrel to tighten the winch strap the brake on the gear will prevent the barrel from loosening the strap, When unloading your flatbed, you can open the brake on the gear, loose the strap a bit, get the hook off and retract the winch strap by turning the winch barrel the other way, when you are at it you will find it’s so easy, even…can dot it. In order to secure your load with winch straps, you will need winch bar to turn the barrel, there is no way you can operate the winch by hand, it’s not only not safe, but also not legal.
There are a few different kind of winch bars available, usually you will be able to find following winch bars at any store: standard winch bars, usually painted black, chrome standard winch bars, chrome combination winch bar and chrome combination winch bars painted half yellow. To get which kind of winch bar depends on one’s priority and preference, all winch bars will serve the same purpose, they are just steel sticks with some tweaks after all.
