Frequently Asked Questions

What do the working load limit markings mean?

The working load limit (WLL) represents the maximum weight a tie down can safely secure during normal use. This is typically one-quarter to one-third of the strap's breaking strength, providing a substantial safety margin. Always ensure the combined WLL of your straps exceeds your cargo weight.

How should I maintain my Draper tie downs?

Inspect straps before each use for cuts, abrasion, or damaged stitching. Clean with mild soap and water, allowing them to dry completely before storage. Never store wet straps or expose them to chemicals. Keep ratchet mechanisms clean and lightly lubricated for smooth operation.

Are Draper straps suitable for commercial use?

Absolutely. Draper tie downs meet BS EN 12195-2 standards where applicable and are widely used by professional hauliers, tradesmen, and commercial operators throughout the UK. Their durability and safety features make them ideal for daily commercial applications.
