    One end is just flat like any regular strap, you slip it through the winch slot and tighten it down. Some trailers have a hook on the side rail that they'll hook into. They have other uses to for specific freight.

    What i was thinking, equipment tie down hooks ect... but i believe the post was about double loops, (at both ends) that would be a crane strap

    Thought of another use for single loop 4" straps. (Actually know they are used for this) a rolloff trailer, they have a 4" winch dead center on the back, they use that type of strap to hold down on the clevis hook....

    The looped straps are meant to be used with trailers that have hooks for them. This trailer has hooked alternating with the fixed winches. IMG_3059.JPG

    Thanks guys. I doubt I would use that because I'd be a lot more comfortable with the hook straps, or even the ring ends.
