D.O.T. Tiedown General Information

Capacity Ratings:
Breaking Strength Capacity:
The minimum load a component or assembly will withstand before failure. Remember, all assemblies are only as strong as the weakest component used to make them.

Working Load Limit:
The maximum load capacity that any given component or assembly should be subjected to during use. D.O.T. Tiedown highly recommends the "working load limit" does not exceed one third (1/3) the "breaking strength capacity" of the component or assembly being used. Working load limits shown on this website are rated at one third of the minimum breaking strength (for example, a strap rated at 6,000 lbs would have a working load limit of 2,000 lbs).

Rated Load Capacity:
Ratings are generally established and/or regulated by industry or legislative standards and may vary from industry to industry. It is the owner's and user's responsibility to determine suitability of a product for any particular use.
