Description

Overview

Ratchet Web Dog 8mm helps you tension transport chain for load restraint on trailers and transport equipment. It gives a controlled ratchet take-up, so you can secure loads without relying on traditional lever style dogs. Because it uses swivel grab hooks, it can also reduce twist at the chain connection point. When you match the chain and hooks correctly, the ratchet action makes fine adjustments easier during set-up.

Features

• Ratchet tensioning action for smoother control when you tighten or release chain
• 360 degree swivel grab hooks to help alignment at anchor points
• Rated lashing capacity of 3800kg for compatible restraint setups
• Designed to suit 8mm transport chain

This Ratchet Web Dog 8mm is rated at a 3800kg lashing capacity and suits 8mm transport chain. It comes with 360 degree swivel grab hooks as supplied, which helps the hooks sit properly under load. Part number: CA4873.
Read the Load Restraint Guide for guidance on load restraint equipment selection.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the chain size to the tensioner so the hooks seat correctly and the chain can tension evenly. If you use mixed chain sizes, the system can bind or release unpredictably, which creates risk during tensioning. Also check that your anchor points suit the hook style and allow the swivel to rotate freely. In addition, keep the ratchet clear of grit and damage, because contamination can prevent full engagement.

Compliance and Safety

The supplier listing for this Ratchet Web Dog 8mm states it complies to AS/NZ 4344 2001. Even so, inspect the ratchet, hooks, and chain before each trip, then re-check tension after the load settles. If you see deformation, cracks, or a sticky ratchet action, replace the component rather than forcing it. Also keep hands and face clear of the tensioned line, especially during release.

Trailer Applications

Use Ratchet Web Dog 8mm anywhere you need to tension 8mm transport chain for restraining cargo on heavy vehicle trailers. For example, it can suit flat top and drop deck tie-down work where chain restraint makes sense and you want more controlled take-up. However, always size the whole restraint system to the load, the lashing angles, and the anchor points so the rated capacity remains meaningful in real use.
