Armour Side Loading Ratchet Tie Down

The new innovation makes securing loads quicker and easier and is considered one of the biggest breakthroughs in the transport industry for decades

Tired and frustrated with threading straps through ratchets?

It’s one of those things we all hate doing….but there’s no other way! Right?

A Dunedin inventor has come up with an innovative device which could solve a worldwide problem for the trucking industry. Barry Armour's side-loading ratchet speeds up the process of strapping down cargo for transport, and the simple spin on an old device could be worth millions. Every day across the country, huge rigs transport freight by road. That cargo has to be strapped in securely, a process that can take a long time using traditional ratchet tiedowns.  Mr Armour has spent the last four years coming up with a better design. His ratchet allows straps to be loaded from the side, speeding up the old time-consuming process where the long straps have to be threaded right through......

QUICK AND EASY  

Don't waste time unrolling your old ratchet strap and threading it through the slot when you can save time and effort with a new side Loading Ratchet just by loading your rolled strap from the side in four easy steps!

Step 1

Step 4
