TRUKD Bed Rack Mounted Ratchet Strap
TRUKD Bed Rack Mounted Ratchet Strap
This is the TRUKD rack mounted ratchet strap. We've designed it from 3/16th's aluminum and added features to allow you to mount it anywhere on your TRUKD bed rack or on the crossbars of other brand roof or bed racks. Our mounting holes allow this to be used on our racks or any racks using 1530 series extrusion or the similar metric size, or any rack with a single t-slot! It comes in a pack of 1 brackets/straps with the mounting hardware for our rack system.
Securing your gear has never been more convenient or speedy. We partnered with Rhino USA for the retractable ratchets and created our own mounting brackets to allow you to always have your tiedowns at the ready.
Pair this with our tiedowns or our "rabbit ears" for the optimal experience.
*if you choose to purchase this for a rack system that uses a different size or style extrusion than what TRUKD uses, you are responsible for procuring your own mounting hardware.

A 3/16" aluminum bracket keeps a Rhino USA 1" retractable ratchet strap permanently mounted to your crossbar. The strap is always there when you need it — no loose straps to manage.

Use cases
The standard install is one strap per crossbar station for routine cargo runs. For a kayak, a rooftop cargo box, or any asymmetric load, pair one Ratchet Strap with two Tiedown Points (sold separately) for a triangulated three-point anchor. Buyers also use a single strap as a permanent cinch for a soft cooler or gear bag that rides the crossbar every trip.

Does the strap come included or do I buy it separately?
It's included. Each pack contains one Rhino USA 1" retractable ratchet strap pre-paired with the aluminum bracket. The Rhino USA strap has a 403 lb working load limit and 1,209 lb break strength.
What racks does this fit beyond TRUKD?
The bracket is designed for 1530-series aluminum extrusion (15mm × 30mm) and any rack with a single T-slot. Many aftermarket bed and roof racks use 1530 or the metric equivalent. If your rack uses a different extrusion profile (Prinsu uses 14mm T-slot, ARB uses a proprietary profile), confirm slot width before ordering — and note that you'll need to source your own T-nuts since TRUKD's included hardware is spec'd for 1530.
What is the load rating for the bracket itself?
TRUKD does not publish a separate bracket load rating. The Rhino USA strap's 403 lb WLL is the strap's own rating — the system rating (bracket + T-nut pull-out + strap) is not independently published. Do not use this for recovery anchor applications.
How many can I run on one rack?
No stated limit — the bracket positions anywhere along the T-slot, so you can mount as many as the crossbar length allows. TRUKD's own recommended setup pairs the Ratchet Strap with Tiedown Points and Rabbit Ears across multiple positions for a complete cargo management run.
Does this work with the Tiedown Points and Rabbit Ears?
Yes — TRUKD designs all three as a system. Rabbit Ears capture a ladder or round object laterally, Tiedown Points add secondary anchor hooks, and the Ratchet Strap provides the tensioning cinch. Any one of the three works standalone, but the full trio is the intended setup for an RTT ladder or complex load.
