4" 30' Straps

I keep 12 of them rolled up in a milk crate stowed in one of my trailer boxes.They stay nice and snug.

 

Personally, I like to roll them free end first so the hook is "out", then hang the hook on the rubrail and take the roll between my palms and get them really tight. Kinda hard to explain. One plus for me rolling them this way is you're throwing the strap and not the hook as well.
I do assume we're talking about straps with a flat hook.

 

Try those big rubber bands they sell at truck stops. I use a strap winder and get them tight, then back off half a turn, rubber band and tuck them away.

 

Cut up an old inner tube for rubber bands. Lawn mower front tire is about the right size.

 

I use the rubber bands most of the time. But like @FoolsErrand said, an old inner tube works just as well.

@Klleetrucking, I roll my straps just like you do. I roll starting at the free end and hang it on the rub rail and pull really tight to condense the strap as small as possible

 

I use old motorcycle Heavy Duty tubes hold up good

 

I roll em up , but dont get em tight , i do it the quick way and can out perform most strap winders . I seen guys use rubber bands, to much work and more equipment to keep track of.. Get some pieces of wood and block off a section of storage box and put starps in that one section . Roll em up hook out and place strap sitting up right with hook flat onbottom of box. Keeps them from unraviling. Put them side by side and stack high. I put extra ones that have banding , at the front of the box and it keeps all the rest in check and keep them from unraviling. The only problem is most flatbedders got so much frickin equipment , no matter how much storage u have its never enough and it gets cluttered real quick

 

You running open deck now?

I used to put them in my box side ways, eye to the side so to speak, and just put them next to each other so they didn't have room to unroll. Three to a row, do a few rows and start stacking them in pyramid formation. Tended to keep them together just fine.
