At Mega Cargo Control, we don’t just sell tie-down straps—we empower you to build fully customized cargo control solutions tailored to your exact needs. Whether you need heavy-duty ratchet straps for flatbed hauling, off-road recovery tie-downs, or specialized winch straps, our custom tie-down program lets you select every component: webbing, end fittings, and tensioning systems.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about custom tie downs, from choosing the right polyester webbing to selecting the strongest hooks and ratchets for your application.
What Are Custom Tie Downs?
Custom tie downs are cargo straps assembled with specific webbing, hooks, and tensioning systems to match unique load-securing requirements.
This flexibility ensures maximum security, durability, and efficiency for trucking, towing, construction, off-roading, and industrial applications.
Unlike pre-made straps, custom assemblies allow you to:
- ✔ Choose the exact webbing width (1" to 4") and strength
- ✔ Select the best end fittings (hooks, loops, or rings)
- ✔ Pick the ideal tensioner (ratchet, winch, or cam buckle)
- ✔ Determine the exact strap length needed
Step 1: Selecting Your Webbing – The Foundation of Your Tie Down
The webbing is the backbone of any tie-down strap. We offer 300 ft. bulk rolls of polyester webbing in 1", 2", 3", and 4" widths, each with different Working Load Limits (WLL) and breaking strengths.

1" Polyester Webbing
✔ WLL: 833 – 1,500 lbs.
✔ Best For: Light-duty cargo, motorcycles, small equipment
✔ Common Uses: ATV straps, cargo nets, lightweight bundling
2" Polyester Webbing
✔ WLL: 2,000 – 4,000 lbs.
✔ Best For: Flatbed trucking, medium-duty machinery, enclosed trailers
✔ Common Uses: Automotive transport, construction materials
3" Polyester Webbing
✔ WLL: 6,666 lbs.
✔ Best For: Heavy machinery, oversized loads, oilfield equipment

4" Polyester Webbing
✔ WLL: 6,666 lbs.
✔ Best For: Extreme-duty applications, military, mega-loads
✔ Common Uses: Oversized industrial freight, military transport
Step 2: Choosing Your End Fittings (Hooks, Loops, & Anchors)
The end fittings determine how your strap connects to anchor points. We offer 1" to 4" compatible hooks and hardware
Option 1: Professional Sewn Attachments
- ✔ Twisted Sewn Loop Winch Straps: Ultra-strong loops for winch applications
- ✔ Endless Loop Configurations: Continuous webbing for maximum strength
- ✔ Hook Sewn Directly to Webbing: Permanent, rattle-free attachment
Option 2: Hardware Selection
Choose from our extensive range of 1" to 4" compatible fittings:
Hook Types:
- ✔ S-Hooks: Versatile general-purpose hooks (great for chains)
- ✔ Flat Hooks: Anti-slip design for flatbed trailers
- ✔ Wire/J-Hooks: Heavy-duty option for secure connections
- Wire Hooks: Corrosion-resistant for marine environments
- Grab Hooks: Quick-connect for rapid securing
Specialty Anchors
- E-Track Fittings: Designed for modern cargo systems
- L-Track Adapters: Aircraft-style securement
- D-Rings: Reinforced attachment points
- Chain Anchors: For mixed strap-and-chain systems
Step 3: Tensioning Systems - The Power Behind the Hold
The tensioning system is what transforms webbing from a passive strap into an active load-securing device. We offer three professional-grade options:
Ratchet Buckles
Cam Buckles
Trailer Winches

✅ Ratchet Buckles: Precision Tension Control
What are Ratchet Buckles?
Ratchet buckles are mechanical tensioning devices that use a geared mechanism to incrementally tighten straps with tremendous force. They consist of:
- A locking gear mechanism
- A release lever
- A spool for webbing storage
Our Ratchet Options:
- Standard Ratchets: For general cargo control
- Low-Profile Ratchets: Where clearance is limited
- Stainless Steel Ratchets: Corrosive environments
- Over-Center Ratchets: For extreme tension
Best For: Heavy equipment, flatbed trucking, applications requiring exact tension
✅ Cam Buckles: Quick and Simple Securing
What are Cam Buckles?
Cam buckles use a spring-loaded cam mechanism to lock webbing in place. They feature:
- One-handed operation
- Instant tension adjustment
- Lightweight design
Our Cam Buckle Selection:
- Standard Cam Buckles: Everyday use
- Heavy-Duty Cams: For thicker webbing
- Side-Release Cams: Easy access in tight spaces
Best For: Light-to-medium duty, frequent adjustments, recreational use
✅ Trailer Winches: Maximum Power Tensioning
What are Trailer Winches?
Trailer winches are heavy-duty winding mechanisms designed for extreme loads. They feature:
- Geared cranking systems
- Load-holding brakes
- High-capacity spools
Our Winch Compatibility:
All our winch straps are designed to work with standard trailer winches. We offer:
- Endless loop winch straps
- Twisted sewn loop configurations
- Custom length winch straps
Best For: Heavy machinery transport, recovery operations, extreme loads
