Most 3” straps have the same WWL as 4”. I carry several 3”, I do notice that they are a tad bit thicker than the 4” ones. Both from the same manufacturer.

At least the ones in the link I showed, the difference between the 3" and the 4", although both have a WLL of 5400 lbs, the breaking strength is different, with the 4" having a breaking strength of 20,000 lbs and the 3" having a breaking strength of 16,200 lbs. The purchase price of one or the other, however, seems to be roughly the same price with the 3" actually being 30 cents higher when I looked.

Kyle,
Compared to a traditional flatbed, what’s it like having one with a forklift on it? -
This ole dozer blade looks awkward now way back here all alone. Unload it in the morning and throw some Oregon lumber on
NoBigHurry, CAXPT, Nostalgic and 6 others Thank this. -
It’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
-
is it better because it makes loading easier?
-
Yup. The years I spent bumping docks caused me to have a deep hatred for slow lazy forklift operators.
This job I do now, I do it all myself. Never have to wait on anyone and everything gets loaded the way I want it!
Unloading is also a breeze because I usually deliver to jobsites weeks before the crew shows up, so I have the site to myself. Just show up, fork everything off, and GTFO. 20-30 minutes tops. No nonsense! -
NoBigHurry, Stay Puft, Geronimo17 and 15 others Thank this.
