how to store ratchet straps
I never gave much thought to how to store ratchet straps until they almost cost me a backcountry weekend. We were hauling two sleds, extra fuel, and gear for three riders. When we went to strap everything down, I pulled out a tangled, frozen mess of straps buried in my truck bed. That was the last time I left storage up to chance.
Then I found the QUIKTIE Retractable Ratchet Straps from Treyl — and everything changed.
Why Ratchet Strap Storage Actually Matters
Your gear is only as secure as your straps. When you toss them in a pile, they tangle, twist, and get damaged. Worse, they’re a total time suck when you’re trying to load up fast. Whether you're towing a sled, moving equipment, or hauling trail gear, having clean, ready-to-use straps is the difference between smooth sailing and total chaos.
Enter: QUIKTIE Retractable Straps
The QUIKTIE Ratchet Straps are a storage solution built into the strap itself. Instead of coiling, tying, or wrestling with them, you just hit the button and they retract into their housing. Game over
Why QUIKTIE is the Best Way to Store Ratchet Straps:
-
Built-in Retraction: No more winding by hand
-
Tangle-Free Design: Each strap stays clean and compact
-
Heavy-Duty Strength: Perfect for snowmobiles, ATVs, and work trailers
-
Quick Hooks: Fast to secure, faster to release
-
Space-Saving Build: Minimal footprint in your truck or gear bin
I keep two in the truck and two in the trailer, always locked, loaded, and ready.
How to Store Ratchet Straps the Right Way
If you’re not using retractable straps yet, here’s how to keep your rig dialed in:
-
Use Retractable Straps: Start with QUIKTIE — they organize themselves
-
Keep a Dedicated Tote: A sealed bin in your truck bed or trailer keeps things clean
-
Sort by Use: Separate straps by length or load rating
-
Inspect Often: Always check for fraying or damage before use
-
Store Dry: Wipe down wet straps before storing to prevent mold or rust
This is how I’ve kept my gear in check and saved myself from ever dealing with a knotted strap pile again.
