Ratchet straps can have a working load limit up to 5,000 lbs. with a 15,000-lb break strength rating, and can create a tighter and more secure restraint – ideal for solid, heavy loads.
What must you check before transporting a sealed load?
You cannot inspect sealed loads, but you should check that you don’t exceed gross weight and axle weight limits. Dry bulk tanks require special care because they have a high center of gravity, and the load can shift. Be extremely cautious (slow and careful) going around curves and making sharp turns.
When loading a trailer where should the weight be?
Heavier items should be loaded in the front, with lighter, smaller items placed near the rear.

For an open trailer, smaller items shouldn’t be loaded above the height of the sides of the trailer box.
Is one ratchet strap enough?
The strap should not be very long nor should it be small as it will compromise the load safety. If the tie down strap is short then it won’t be able to cover up the whole load and if it is too big then it won’t give adequate strength and support to the cargo as it will be loose.
