Ratchet tie downs are composed of 5 main parts, the ratchet strap, the anchor hook, and the ratchet buckle which is comprised of a crank handle, center latch and drum. The ratchet tie down strap is threaded through the ratchet mechanism. Moving the crank handle up and down then cause the strap to be fed through the ratchet where it is wrapped around the drum. It then holds the strap securely and maintains a constant tension until the center latch is depressed, releasing the strap.
