Physics of Half-Turn in Straps?

Because some people like to know how something works, not just "because."

 

so, did you sort it out?

 

I think that's what I said

 

i just 14 new BLACKLINE HD straps - i will try this out

 

Didn't some DOT start ticketing for having a twist in the strap? This same subject was discussed a couple of weeks ago. Condo Cruiser can probably find the rule on that if it exists.

 

It doesn't.

Ancra is a strap manufacturer.

 

I have mostly Ancra 2" straps with flat hooks. I NEED to get 3 or 4 new ones.....
I have a few that a picky DOT Officer MIGHT not like....

 

Here's a strap twisting illustration. http://truckined.blogspot.com/2012/09/twisted-straps.html

 

Interesting read.

 

Here's an example of what the wind is actually doing to a strap. Except this is on a larger scale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xox9BVSu7Ok
