You open the boot, take out the straps and first have to separate them. One strap's webbing has tangled with another and the hooks have caught on each other. One more step before you can secure the load.
Why straps get tangled
When straps are stored with loose webbing, long lengths and hooks can become tangled as they move. Keeping them wound up and secured helps maintain order.
How to store a conventional strap
Inspect the webbing and let it dry before storing. Wind it up, secure the roll and arrange the straps neatly in a bag or compartment. They will be easier to prepare next time.
While transporting the load, also gather excess webbing and check that it is secured.
How is a retractable strap different?
A STRAPTOR stores its webbing inside its own mechanism. Extend it to the anchor point and the rest stays contained. When you finish, release the strap and guide the webbing as it retracts.
- No excess webbing: the unused length stays inside the mechanism.
- No winding by hand: the webbing returns to the reel when you release the strap.
- No tangles in storage: each strap keeps its webbing contained.
More convenient every time
Preparing the motorbike for a trip, securing luggage or putting the trailer away on your return. If you use straps regularly, being able to store them without winding metres of webbing and find them ready next time makes a difference.
Choose the model for your load
Falcon 700 for motorbikes and cargo, Kestrel 600 for luggage and light loads, and Osprey 1200 for transom tie-downs on boat trailers. Always check the model's length, hook type and capacities.
Care for your STRAPTOR
Inspect the webbing, hooks and mechanism before every use. Take a damaged strap out of service and guide the webbing as it retracts. Store it dry; after exposure to salt water, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry.
The security you expect. Without the usual hassle.
