Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these straps be used for lifting heavy loads?
No, these ratchet tie downs are strictly for load restraint and securing cargo during transport; they are not rated for overhead lifting.
How should I store my Rikä straps?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp edges to maintain the integrity of the synthetic webbing.
Are these suitable for securing motorcycles?
Yes, they are highly effective for securing motorcycles and other equipment to trailers, provided the anchor points are rated for the load weight.
How do I know if the straps are damaged?
Inspect the webbing for cuts, fraying, or chemical damage and check the metal ratchet for cracks or deformation. If any damage is visible, replace the unit immediately.
Can I use these to secure sharp-edged loads?
It is recommended to use corner protectors between the strap and the load to prevent the edges from cutting or fraying the webbing.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism will not release
Ensure the handle is fully opened to the release position and clear any debris trapped in the teeth of the ratchet.
Strap will not tighten
Check that the webbing is threaded correctly through the slot and that the ratchet is not being forced beyond its mechanical limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Rikä ratchet straps, hook both ends to solid, rated anchor points on your vehicle or storage area. Insert the loose end of the webbing into the mandrel slot and pull the excess slack through before operating the handle. Once the strap is snug, pump the ratchet handle to reach the desired tension. For care, keep the webbing dry and stored out of direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the fibers. Periodically clean the ratchet mechanism with a dry brush to remove debris or grit that could affect the release lever, and lightly lubricate the pivot points if the mechanism feels stiff.
