Its interesting about the rope and chain, what has been used for an eternity too, and I have no doubt they're better than a ratchet strap as used by every other person in a ute or with a box trailer. My load chokers have a LC2500kg rating on it for a 50mm strap and an AS/NZS pat pending. I'm assuming thats enough, but as they say about assumptions....

My expensive, Occy Straps bear a tag stating: 'Do Not Over Extend'.
