Are Self-Contained Ratchet Straps Right for You?
Back in February, we released a new US Cargo Control product that eliminates the question of what to do with those flappy strap tails that remain after a ratchet strap is tightened. The new Rollup Ratchet is our patented self-contained ratchet strap that customers have been thrilled to find here at USCC.
Here’s how one reader, Rich, responded to our new product post back in February:
"Thanks for the info. This is a product I’m looking into for towing motorcycles. Appreciate it!"

And last month, a customer who got the 2" Rollup Ratchet with double J hook gave the new self-contained strap a 5-star review.
"Have only used them once but they work great!!"

No More Flappy Endings
If you’ve ever looked in the rearview mirror only to see your straps flapping in the breeze, you know the annoyance of watching your strap webbing get premature wear and tear. Loose strap ends can also be a serious danger to fellow drivers if they were to get caught under a tire.
Cargo securers have made many attempts to solve the pesky loose ratchet strap end problem. If you do a Google search for “what to do with excess ratchet strap” you’ll find an assortment of videos and forum posts that suggest everything from tying them in a knot, using zip ties, tape, Velcro, and even closing them in your vehicle’s door.
But the new patented Rollup Ratchet from USCC is an all-in-one solution that’s designed to protect your webbing and keep your straps strong for years and years of use. It even provides a smart and more organized way to store your straps when not in use.
2-Inch Self-Contained Straps
2” Rollup Ratchet self-contained straps have a 3,333-lb. working load limit and 10,000 lb. assembly break strength. Hardware options include a choice between flat hook or double J hook ends and both types come in 18 ft. or 27-ft. lengths.
1-Inch Self-Contained Straps
1” Rollup Ratchet self-contained straps have an 833-lb. working load limit and 2,500 lb. assembly break strength. They're available in lengths of either 10 ft. or 16 ft. and come equipped with the popular vinyl coated S-hook end fittings.
How Self-Contained Straps Work
To secure, apply them just like any other ratchet strap. Then simply thread the excess webbing through the attached patented rolling spindle and roll it all up. These self-contained ratchet straps come with a 100-day guarantee so try them out and see if they’re for you.
