The TICONN Heavy Duty Tarp Cover, Extra Thick Waterproof Tear and Rip Proof UV Resistant is one of our picks for the tie-down lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Working load limit - not break strength - is the number that matters when securing cargo, and every strap, bungee, and tarp here serves that discipline: straps take the rated loads, bungees manage the light and awkward, and tarps keep weather off what rides exposed. Inspect webbing and rubber for cuts and UV wear before every use.

What to check before you buy
- Working load limit, not break strength
- The WLL is the number that matters. Break strength is the point of failure in a lab; the WLL is what the assembly is rated to hold in service, typically a third of break strength.
- Assembly rating is the weakest part
- A strap is only rated as high as its lowest-rated component - webbing, ratchet or end fitting. Replacing a hook with a stronger one does not raise the assembly rating.
- Webbing condition
- Cuts, abrasion, chemical damage and UV degradation all remove capacity that is not visible as a number. Damaged webbing is removed from service, not derated.
- Number of tie-downs
- Cargo securement rules are based on aggregate working load limit relative to cargo weight, plus minimum counts by cargo length - not on what looks tight enough.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between working load limit and break strength?
Break strength is the force at which a component fails under test. Working load limit is the maximum force it is rated to carry in normal use - conventionally one third of break strength. Always secure to the WLL.
How many straps do I need?
Under the US cargo securement rules the aggregate working load limit of the tie-downs must be at least half the weight of the cargo, with minimum counts based on cargo length and weight. Check the specific article rules for your load.
When should a ratchet strap be retired?
Remove any strap from service if the webbing has cuts, holes, burns, chemical damage or heavy abrasion, or if the ratchet or end fittings are cracked, bent or corroded. Damaged straps are replaced, not repaired.
Do ratchet straps lose strength over time?
Yes. UV exposure degrades polyester webbing gradually, and the loss is not visible as a number. Straps stored outdoors or used in constant sunlight should be inspected more aggressively and replaced sooner.
Are bungee cords a substitute for ratchet straps?
No. Elastic cords hold light items in place but have no meaningful working load limit for securement and can release stored energy toward the user. They are not cargo securement devices.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
Does WC Safety sell this product?
