To hold multiple objects together and hold them in place, two ratchet belts are required. Use one strap to hold objects together and the other strap to wrap them and hold them in place.

Turn the ratchet until it feels secure. Pull the ratchet back and forth to pull the length of the belt and tighten it. Once the tension is felt and fixed around the cargo, stop the ratchet. Pull the belt and check that it is loose – it should feel tight and secure.

Be careful not to over tighten. Excessive pressure may damage the ratchet belt or goods.

If you can't put a finger between the tape and the object, you may be overstretched. Loosen the belt and close it again with the ratchet.
