Titan Straps polyurethane tension straps are made from a high-performance materials with superior benefits over conventional rubber straps or bungee cords. An excellent alternative to nylon ratchet straps, they won't ice or lock up and are significantly easier to use. 

These polyurethane straps also benefit users in other ways. How? With the following features:

    • High abrasion resistance

    • Resilience to oils, greases and numerous solvents

    • Excellent low-temperature and impact strength

    • Good flexibility over a wide temperature range

    • UV resistance

    • Excels in most all-weather conditions

    • High tensile strength

    Polyurethane doesn't hold energy like an elastic bungee cord. So they're much safer, and the strap won't recoil back at the user.

      The high-performance, wide-spectrum benefits of polyurethane tension straps make them ideal for use in construction, home improvement, electrical, plumbing, motorsports, marine, farming, sports & recreation, and the oil and gas industry.

      Rubber straps and rubber bungee cords aren't ideal for tie-downs

      Why are polyurethane tension straps superior to Rubber? For numerous reasons. Rubber's poor UV, heat and ozone resistance mean rubber straps quickly degrade in outdoor applications. This is why you often see cracked, weathered and broken rubber tie-downs on the side of the highway.

      Furthermore, rubber bungee cords or rubber straps act like a spring. A stretched bungee cord's 'elastic potential energy' when it's released quickly converts into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy created as a bungee cord recoils can be dangerous to the user, smacking him in the face, among other things. Lastly, rubber material loses elasticity in low-temperatures and can turn brittle and break.

      Why Tie-Down Straps Are Better Than Bungee Cords

      Making sure your cargo is properly tied down is critical when it comes to hauling materials in your pickup. Driving around with loose cargo is both a danger and a nuisance. Sadly, one we see all too often out on the road.

      Here at BullRing, we've spent three decades making sure our anchor points for cargo tie-down straps provide the strongest, most reliable base for securing anything your truck bed has to carry. But a cargo securement system is only as strong as its weakest link. So an equally reliable tie-down strap is crucial to ensure your cargo stays safe and secure during transport.

      The biggest mistake we see made in this area is the use of bungee or shock cords for the purpose of restraining large or bulky items in the truck bed. Bungee cords are lightweight and quick to attach. They're great for holding down a tarp or keeping loose items bundled together. But when it comes to locking down heavy cargo in your truck bed, bungees are never an acceptable substitute for a trusty set of cam or ratchet straps.

      Here are a few reasons why:

      1. Bungee Cords Are Mostly Unrated

      Most bungees are not rated for load capacity. Therefore, they can't be relied upon to withstand the intense forces acting upon them while the vehicle is in motion. Tie-down straps were specifically designed with the purpose of securing cargo for transportation. They come with a load rating for both breaking strength (minimum weight at which failure can occur) and working load (maximum weight supported with regular use).

      2. Bungees Can Be Failure Prone

      A bungee cord is also susceptible to failure from overstretching, wearing out the elastic that gives the chord its resilient nature. Deterioration from the elements such as sun and rain can quickly shorten a cords life cycle as well. Tie-downs hold up better under these types of conditions as they were designed and intended for longterm use. Bungee cord hook ends are often unreliable as they are weak, thin, and made from low strength metal that tends to bend or break under heavy pressure.

      3. Inadvertent Weaponry: The Flying Bungee

      Bungees are dangerous. A bent hook or loss of grip can quickly turn a fully stretched cord into a projectile weapon; hurling through the air, ready to embed itself in whatever piece of flesh happens to be in the way.

      Take our word for it and avoid the hurt and hassle. Ditch the bungees. Use high-quality tie-down straps with your BullRing anchor points. Your cargo will thank you.
