How to Use Keeper Tie-Downs

 

BE SURE TO READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE USING ANY KEEPER PRODUCT


Tie-Downs are the fastest, easiest and safest way to secure your
cargo.  Unlike rope and twine, they work without having to tie knots.
Ratchet Tie-downs apply the perfect amount of tension to the load
and lock to prevent accidental release. Cam buckle Tie-Downs
combine security with speed. Small teeth grip webbing tight and
a thumb release lever makes using them quick and easy.


4HOW TO CHOOSE A TIE-DOWN
Keeper recommends using a minimum of two (2) Tie-Downs to secure cargo and prevent load shift.  Each Tie-Down should have a Working Load Limit equal to or greater than the weight of your cargo.
4WORKING LOAD LIMIT
The maximum cargo weight a Tie-Down can safely handle and still accommodate unexpected forces caused by speed, road conditions or emergencies. The Industry Standard for Working Load Limit is 1/3 the Break-Strength of the Tie-Down assembly.
