1" POM Ratchet Straps – A Lightweight, Rust-Free, and Surface-Safe Tie-Down Option
Most ratchet straps on the market feature zinc-coated steel ratchets. While strong and reliable, steel hardware has some drawbacks: it can scratch painted surfaces, add unnecessary weight, and eventually rust in humid conditions. To solve these challenges, we offer 1" ratchet straps with POM ratchets—a unique alternative designed for specific applications.
What Makes POM Different?
POM (Polyoxymethylene) is an engineering-grade plastic widely used in automotive and industrial components. It’s valued for its:
-
Strength and durability under repeated stress
-
Excellent wear resistance
-
Low friction for smoother operation
-
Resistance to moisture and corrosion
For ratchet straps, these properties create a lightweight, easy-to-handle, and rust-free product.
Benefits of POM Ratchet Straps
Compared to standard steel ratchets, POM ratchet straps offer:
-
Surface-Safe Design – POM won’t scratch painted or polished surfaces the way metal ratchets can.
-
Rust-Free Performance – Ideal for outdoor, humid, or marine conditions.
-
Lightweight Handling – Easier to carry, store, and use.
-
Reliable Strength – With a breaking strength of 200kg, they are strong enough for light-duty securement.
Ideal Applications
POM ratchet straps are not a replacement for heavy-duty steel, but they excel in specific situations, such as:
-
Securing items with delicate finishes (painted, coated, or polished parts)
-
Marine and outdoor use where rust is a concern
-
Light-duty loads where a 200kg breaking strength is sufficient
-
Customers who value an innovative, easy-to-use alternative to traditional metal ratchets
