Below is each AUGO strap we cover, what the published specification means, who it fits and who should buy something else. The label on your own strap always governs.

Before you buy any strap

Work from the working load limit, not the break strength: here is the difference. Then check how many straps the load needs and run the numbers in the tie-down calculator.
