RACK-STRAP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q) How strong is each strap? A) A Rack-Strap has a static load rating of 500 lbs. When two Rack-Straps are mounted on a side, the static load rating of each unit can be combined and becomes 1000 lbs for that side for the rack. However, remember to never exceed the limitations of your rack or vehicle when carrying overhead materials. Q) I live in a climate that is hot during the summer and cold in the winter, will the strap hold up in the weather? A) The strap is made of high-grade polyester and will not absorb water or freeze. This means that no matter what season you are in, your straps will function as intended. Also, the polyester material is UV resistant, making it the best option for warm, dry climates. Rack-Straps have been used from Alaska to Arizona, and have functioned well in all climates. Q) How many Rack-Straps do I need on my rack? A) Rack-Strap, Inc. recommends that no fewer than two units be used on each side of a vehicle. Therefore, you need one pair (two units) per side of the vehicle, a Rack-Strap unit mounted at the front of the rack and one at the back. For customers who commonly carry longer lengths of materials, such as 20 ft. sticks of pipe, three Rack-Strap units per side of the vehicle are recommended. Q) I have a van rack without the horizontal bars to mount the RS-1. The rack only has crossbars that span across the van, is there a Rack-Strap solution for my van rack? A) Rack-Straps are available for some crossbar only van rack systems. We are continually developing systems for as many racks as possible. Currently we offer the RS-5, a mounting adapter and tie-down designed to fit the Weather Guard 205/215/216 style van rack.

Valenting Home Improvement, New Egypt, NJ In this business time is money. Rack-Straps save me time and give me peace of mind. Wards Remodeling, Arlington, VA RS-1 Shown In Picture There are many examples of real life situations that could be used to illustrate the benefits of using Rack-Strap tie-downs. Dan Cockerman s story is real life evidence of the security our tie-downs can provide. In a letter to Rack-Strap, Inc. Dan Cockerman from Exteriors West, Puyallup, WA wrote: To whom it may concern: I own a small business installing aluminum patio covers here in the area. It s always been a hassle to use ropes to secure the loads; that is until I bought a pair of Rack-Straps last year. I ve enjoyed the convenience and peace of mind that comes with a secure load. The reason I m writing you today is to inform you that yesterday I was rear-ended by a semi-truck and forced into a pick-up-truck in front of me. My truck, well its totaled but the Rack-Straps kept my load from slamming into the truck in front of me. It would have gone through his back window & injured or killed him. Many thanks, Dan Cockerman P.S. I just ordered a second pair today!
