Ratchet straps, also called tie-down straps, are highly helpful when transporting cargo in a vehicle. The ratchets allow you to make sure the ratchet straps are taut and the items are tied down securely to a roof rack, truck bed or elsewhere. Flat hooks are compatible with flat anchor points, like stake pockets, a rub rail, or the underside of a trailer.

A winch strap is a strap used for securing loads that attaches to a winch. This strap gets wound up on the winch which pulls it tighter thus securing a load. A winch strap has only one end with some sort of hook for grabbing onto a trailer, chain, etc. Flat hooks are compatible with flat anchor points, like stake pockets, a rub rail, or the underside of a trailer.
