How the truck winches and winch straps work together on the flatbed trucks?

For flatbed trucks there is one thing which is essential , truck winch, when the flatbeds have winches installed, only winch straps are needed to tie down loads, and the truck winch can be welded on or slide in , and the winches usually have 2 sizes, 2” and 4”, and of course there are 2” & 4” winch straps which can be used with 2” and 4” winches respectively. Occasionally people are looking for  3” winch straps, which is not as popular as 2” & 4” winch straps but people have their use for them.

The concept of truck winches with winch straps are pretty straight forward, the component of both truck winch and ratchet that the tie down straps are inserted into for tightening the whole web tie down straps called mandrel, the mechanism to tighten the straps on truck winch is different than the self contained ratchets, you will need the help of winch bars to tighten the winch straps. The barrel across the winch body has holes at one end, a  gear at the other end, the part between the winch body is mandrel, just put the straps into it, when the brake on the gear is closed, the gear can only go one direction so you can tighten the straps one notch at a time, when you untie the strap, open the brake, turn the barrel the opposite direction to pull the  strap off the load. In order to secure your load with winch straps, you will need winch bar to turn the barrel, there is no way you can operate the winch by hand, it’s not only not safe, but also not legal.

There are a few different kind of winch bars available, usually you will be able to find following winch bars at any store: standard winch bars, usually painted black, chrome standard winch bars, chrome combination winch bar and chrome combination winch bars painted half yellow. To be honest, all these winch bars are serving the exact same purpose, and it’s all about personal preference and sometimes people choose combination winch bars for specific reasons, one of them being that you can use something else with the combination winch bar, thus the word “combination” in the name.
