How to Choose from Over Center Buckle Manufacturer's Tie and Ratchet Straps

Workload Limits
The first thing you need to look for is the working load limit and breaking strength rating of the shoulder straps. The working load limit (WLL) of a belt is typically 1/3 of its breaking strength. Typically, ratchet straps have a breaking strength rating of 2200 lbs. Can safely withstand loads of approximately 730 lbs.

Shoulder strap size
The size of the harness depends on the strength of the harness and the size of the load. You wouldn't expect a 10-foot strap to hold a 12-foot load securely in place, would you? To be on the safe side, it's a good thing to reserve an extra 3.5 feet of ratchet strap length for every 10 feet of cargo. You can't risk losing your goods or damaging yourself in the process, right?

The heavier the load you need to ensure, the higher the WLL you need. The straps you use as needed will also be wider.

Material
Gear failure is the last thing you want when you're transporting loads. To make sure this doesn't happen, you should review the material of the lace before buying. It would be good if the metal parts of the strap were corrosion-resistant and had a protective coating to protect them from the natural elements.
