SmartStraps Ratchet Tie-Down Straps, Retractable Tow Straps & Bungee Cords
SmartStraps is an American load restraint and bungee products brand producing ratchet tie-down straps, retractable tow straps, bungee cords, tarp straps, adjustable toggle balls, and carabiner hooks for vehicle, trailer, and worksite load securing applications.
Load restraint for road transport is a legal requirement as specified in the Australian Load Restraint Guide — loads that are not adequately restrained to prevent movement in any direction including forward, rearward, sideways, and vertically are both an infringement and a serious road safety hazard if items become dislodged or vehicles tip during transit.
Ratchet tie-down straps provide a compliant, high-strength load restraint solution for tray-top utes, flatbed trailers, and enclosed van loads, with the ratchet mechanism enabling the strap to be tensioned to the working load limit without the strap slipping slack as the load settles.
SmartStraps’ Ratchet X design incorporates an auto-rewind mechanism on selected models that eliminates the common problem of long strap tails creating a tangle hazard around wheels and axles — the excess strap winds back into the ratchet body automatically as the strap is retracted.
SmartStraps’ bungee cord range addresses the everyday need for quick, removable load covering and securing in lower-load applications including tarp retention, toolbox lid retention, and general bundling in workshops, warehouses, and trades vehicles.
All SmartStraps products in the AIMS Industrial range are available online now for fast Australia-wide delivery.
SmartStraps Ratchet Tie-Down Straps & Retractable Tow Straps
SmartStraps’ ratchet and tow strap range provides compliant load restraint for road transport and worksite load securing. Order the length and load rating that matches your vehicle and cargo combination.
- SmartStraps Ratchet X Tie Down Strap — Standard: A standard Ratchet X tie-down strap with the SmartStraps ratchet mechanism for tensioning and securing cargo on trailers, ute trays, and truck decks. The Ratchet X design winds excess strap tail back into the ratchet housing as the strap is tensioned, eliminating trailing strap ends that can catch on wheels, axles, and road debris. Select the strap working load limit to match your load weight, ensuring the combined strap rating meets the Load Restraint Guide requirement for the load mass and transport conditions.
- SmartStraps Commercial Ultra Long Ratchet Tie Down 6m x 1130kg LC — 2-Pack: A 6-metre long, 1,130kg LC commercial-grade ratchet tie-down in a 2-pack for securing large or overlong loads on flat deck trailers, equipment transporters, and commercial delivery vehicles. The 6-metre length provides the reach needed to strap over wide loads and under trailer deck tie-down rails without extension webbing. The 1,130kg lashing capacity meets the requirements for restraining mid-weight machinery, motorcycles, ATVs, and construction equipment within the four-strap system requirements of the Load Restraint Guide.
- SmartStraps Ratchet X Tie Down Strap Yellow 10m — 967RTD: A 10-metre Ratchet X tie-down strap in high-visibility yellow for securing very large loads, over-dimension cargo, and loads requiring long strap runs to reach anchor points across wide decks or over tall loads. The 10-metre length accommodates the most demanding flatbed and equipment transport configurations without coupling extensions. Hi-visibility yellow webbing improves load restraint inspection speed during pre-departure checks and at transport compliance checkpoints.
- SmartStraps Ratchet X Tie Down Camo Strap 3m — 2-Pack: A 3-metre Ratchet X tie-down in camouflage pattern, supplied as a 2-pack. The 3-metre length is suited to shorter load-to-anchor-point runs on ute trays and compact trailers. The camo pattern is popular in outdoor, agricultural, and recreational transport applications. Pack of 2 provides a complete front and rear strap set for small load securing in a single purchase.
- SmartStraps Retractable Tow Strap — 4m x 2000kg Auto-Winding: A 4-metre retractable tow strap rated to 2,000kg for vehicle recovery and towing that automatically winds back into the cassette housing when not in use, eliminating the tangled strap storage problem of conventional flat tow straps. The auto-wind mechanism keeps the strap clean, tangle-free, and immediately ready for deployment in a recovery situation without having to untangle and lay out a stored strap. Rated to 2,000kg for towing and recovery of passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light commercials.
- SmartStraps Retractable Tie Down Strap: A retractable tie-down strap with auto-wind housing for fast deployment and clean storage of the strap after load securing. The retractable design eliminates the time required to fold and store conventional strap tails after each use, making it particularly useful for trades vehicles and delivery fleet operators who secure and release loads many times per day and need a strap that stores itself cleanly.
SmartStraps Bungee Cords, Tarp Straps & Accessories
SmartStraps’ bungee and tarp accessory range covers everyday load covering, bundling, and quick-attach requirements for workshops, vehicles, and field operations.
- SmartStraps Super Strong Bungee Cord: A heavy-duty bungee cord for securing tarps over loads, retaining toolbox lids and equipment hatches, and bundling hoses, cables, and equipment for transport. The super strong variant has a higher elastic modulus than standard bungee cord, providing greater restraining force at the same stretched length for applications where standard bungee cords stretch too far under load and lose tension. Useful where moderate load retention force is needed without the setup time of a ratchet strap.
- SmartStraps Standard Bungee Cord: A standard elastic bungee cord for everyday load bundling, tarp retention, and equipment securing. The standard variant provides the familiar stretch-and-hook bungee cord functionality for general workshop, warehouse, and vehicle use. Sized and elastic-rated for typical light-duty bundling applications including rolled hoses, cable bundles, and general-purpose strap-and-hook securing.
- SmartStraps Flat Strap Bungee Cord: A flat elastic bungee strap for applications where the round-cord bungee profile would roll off or create point loads on the secured item. The flat strap profile distributes the elastic restraint force over a wider contact area, making it better suited to retaining flat items including sheet materials, light covers, and surface-sensitive loads where cord indentation is undesirable.
- SmartStraps Mini Bungee Cord — 20 Pieces: A pack of 20 mini bungee cords for small-scale bundling, cable management, and securing tasks where full-size bungee cords are oversized for the load. Mini bungees are used in workshops for tool and hose bundling, in electrical installations for cable management, and in mobile service vehicles for keeping small equipment and parts secured in drawers and trays. The 20-piece pack provides a ready stock for multiple simultaneous uses.
- SmartStraps Flat Strap Bungee Cords Assorted — 10 Pieces: A 10-piece assorted flat bungee strap pack providing a variety of lengths and sizes for a range of simultaneous bundling and securing tasks. The assorted pack is ideal for workshop tool vans and service vehicles where different-sized loads need securing each day and a single strap length does not cover all requirements.
- SmartStraps 86cm Adjustable Tarp Strap: An 86cm adjustable tarp strap with hook ends for securing tarps, covers, and shade cloth to structural frames, trailer uprights, and machinery. The adjustable length allows the strap to be set at the correct tension for the tarp span without cutting to length or tying off, and the hook ends provide fast attach and release at the anchor points.
- SmartStraps Tarp Strap — Standard: A standard tarp strap with S-hook ends for securing canvas and poly tarps over loads, equipment, and open containers. Tarp straps are the fastest method for retaining a thrown-over tarp during transport and for repeated cover-and-uncover cycles at worksite equipment. Keep a set in every truck and trailer kit for immediate tarp securing without the setup time of tie-down straps.
- SmartStraps Tarp Strap Assorted Standard — 10 Pieces: A 10-piece assorted standard tarp strap pack for fleet and depot stocking where multiple vehicles and trailers each need a tarp strap set. The assorted pack provides different strap lengths for different tarp span requirements across a fleet with varying equipment.
- SmartStraps Carabiner Hook Assorted Colour — 2-Pack: A 2-pack of carabiner hooks for use with bungee cords, strap systems, and equipment hang points where a screw-gate or clip-gate carabiner provides a more secure hook attachment than a standard S-hook. The assorted colour coding allows different attachment points or load categories to be visually differentiated when multiple carabiners are used on the same vehicle or rack.
- SmartStraps Adjustable Toggle Ball — 8-Pack: An 8-pack of adjustable toggle balls for creating bungee cord and strap anchor points on tarps, covers, and equipment without metal grommets or fixed attachment points. The toggle ball is pushed through a gathered point of the tarp material and wedges in the ball housing to create an instant anchor point for bungee hooks and strap loops anywhere on the tarp surface, allowing quick-change attachment geometry for irregularly-shaped loads.
