Shippers Supplies Offers Special Price on Winch Strap with Flat Hook

Sept. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- United States – U.S. based Shippers Supplies announced this morning that they would be offering a special price on their winch strap with flat hook. The 4” by 30’ tie down strap is one of their top sellers and is now more affordable for truckers looking to stock up on tie down straps and ratchet straps to secure loads of up to twenty thousand pounds. Additional discounts are available for orders of over thirty units.

“You can never have enough straps to secure the heavy loads,” said a company spokesperson. Safety and security have to be the number one concern for any trucker at all times. Not only do they affect the drivers themselves, but also other vehicles and bystanders on the roads. An unsecured load that gets loose can cause damage and possibly fatalities, so we encourage all long and short-haul truckers to stay well stocked on tie down straps and ratchet straps.”

Shippers Supplies is an international supplier of straps and moving supplies, tow straps, tie down webbing and cargo bars. This newest special is an effort by the company to get truckers to focus more on safety and preparation for the unexpected. Many of the load-related accidents on the road happen because of loads tied down with inadequate straps not designed to handle that kind of weight. Too many shortcuts are taken by drivers thinking that a short haul distance justifies a fast tie-down with fewer straps than the load calls for.

“Most truckers will tell you that everyone has done it at least once,” said our company spokesperson. “A tie-down strap or ratchet breaks or a client adds more to a load than originally called for and the driver takes a chance, thinking that the load won’t come loose in such a short distance. That’s how accidents happen. By lowering our prices on these winch straps with flat hook tie-down straps and other safety equipment we eliminate any excuse for not stocking extra safety equipment on every vehicle.”

With shipping vehicles changing in size and capacity, the need for new and better straps and ratchets to tie down loads has never been greater. Shipper’s Supplies is one of the leaders in the industry that provides those ratchet straps, tie down straps, and tow straps. Additional information and pricing is available on their website.
