Erickson 1400 Ratchet Tie-down Strap 1x15 500 Lb

Product Description

The ERICKSON 1400 is a 1-inch by 15-foot ratchet tie-down strap rated for a 500 lb breaking strength and a 165 lb working load limit. It features vinyl-coated hardened steel S-hooks designed to grip securely without scratching finished surfaces. The ratcheting mechanism allows controlled tensioning to hold cargo firmly during transport. This strap is a standard tool for motorcycle and ATV hauling, used by powersports transport crews, roadside assist techs, and trailer operators who need reliable, repeatable tension on light-to-mid-weight loads.

The ERICKSON 1400 is suited for securing motorcycles, ATVs, and similar recreational equipment to open trailers, enclosed trailers, and truck beds. The 1-inch strap width and S-hook ends make it compatible with standard tie-down anchor rails and D-ring mounts found on most trailer decks. At 0.845 pounds per unit, it is light enough to carry multiples in a standard tool bag without significant weight penalty.

Key Features

• 500 lb breaking strength and 165 lb working load limit for light-to-mid cargo applications
• Vinyl-coated hardened steel S-hooks reduce surface marring on painted or chrome components
• Ratchet mechanism provides controlled, incremental tensioning
• 1-inch strap width fits standard trailer anchor rails and D-ring mounts
• 15-foot length provides reach across most standard trailer widths

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard trailer anchor rails, D-ring tie-down mounts, and similar fixed anchor points. Typical applications include motorcycle and ATV transport on open or enclosed trailers.

Installation Notes

Inspect S-hooks and strap webbing for wear, cuts, or deformation before each use. Secure both S-hooks to rated anchor points before engaging the ratchet mechanism. Do not exceed the 165 lb working load limit during normal use, regardless of the higher breaking strength rating. Ratchet tie-downs should be inspected and replaced per DOT cargo securement guidelines if webbing shows fraying, UV degradation, or hook deformation.
