Cautions:
- Inspect Regularly: Before each use, inspect your flat hooks for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any compromised hooks immediately to avoid potential failures during transit.
2.Choose the Right Size: Select flat hooks that are appropriate for the size and weight of your cargo. Using undersized hooks can compromise their strength and integrity, leading to unsafe conditions.
3.Proper Placement: Ensure that flat hooks are securely attached to anchor points and that tension is evenly distributed across the strap. Avoid sharp angles or twists that could weaken the strap or cause it to slip.
4.Secure Excess Strap: After tightening the tie-down strap, secure any excess length to prevent it from flapping in the wind or becoming entangled during transit.
