| Componet Capacity | The strength of each component of an assembly. e.g. Keeper P/N 04622, the ratchet begins to fail at 13,000 lbs., the hooks began to fail at 10,000 lbs., and the webbing breaks in excess of 12,000 lbs. |
| Rated Capacity | Also known as "assembly capacity" or "break strength" is the minimum load a complete assembly can withstand before failure in a laboratory pull test when the product is NEW. e.g. Keeper P/N 04622 the failure occurs in excess 0f 10,000 lbs. |
| Working Load Limited | The maximum weight of a load a tie-down should be subjected to during normal use. To assist the consumer in making the proper |
| tie-down choice for the job, Keeper, the Web Sling Association | |
| and the Federal D.O.T. require the Working Load Limit to be | |
| 1/3 of the Rated Capacity. e.g. in Keeper P/N 04622 the working load limit is 3,333 lbs. | |
| DON'T BE FOOLED! | |
| The Webbing Makes a Difference | Sewing Efficiency - As webbing is sewn it is weakened where it is pierced by the needle, reducing its strength by 10-20%. |
| D.O.T. and Web Sling Association require each tie-down manufacturer to certify the Rated Capacity (Break Strength) and Working Load Limit of each product by attaching a tag or stencil to the product. | |
| To obtain the full 10,000 lbs. capacity for a 2" x 27' tie-down, "2 Stripe" (12,000 lbs. break strength) webbing must be used. "1 Stripe" webbing would only yield a capacity of 8,000 - 9,000 lbs. because of the sewing efficiency. |
