Series 02 — High visibility

Auto-Retract Tie Down

The Easooty auto-retract tie down is a new cargo strap whose webbing rewinds itself: pull the strap out to the length you need, hook the cam end to the anchor and squeeze the cam to tension — the serrated teeth bite into the webbing and lock it, the same self-locking principle as a cam buckle strap, while the spring-loaded spool takes the remaining slack back. Because the spool holds the webbing, the strap stays at a fixed, predictable length instead of lying loose in the bed. The standard build is 25 mm webbing on a 3 m spool, rated to 300 kgf breaking strength with a 100 kgf safe working load. Manufactured by Ningbo Yishu Trading Co., Ltd. in Ningbo, China, it is used on trucks, vans, ATVs, motorcycles, jet skis and utility vehicles where a one-hand rewind matters more than maximum working load. Available in safety orange, black and green, with bolt-on or hook-on mounting.

  • Spring-loaded spool rewinds the webbing when you let go
  • One-hand operation — pull, hook, squeeze the cam to lock
  • High-visibility safety orange webbing for roadside and worksite use
  • Strap length stays fixed — no slack to re-tension after every stop
  • OEM and ODM: custom webbing colour, hook finish and mounting

Samples ship in 2 business days for stock configurations; a custom webbing colour takes 7–10 days.

About this product

What an auto-retract tie down is

An auto-retract tie down is a cargo strap that behaves like a tape measure. You pull the webbing out of the spool until you have the length you need, hook the cam end to an anchor point and squeeze the cam: the serrated teeth bite into the webbing and hold it, the same self-locking principle as a cam buckle strap. The spring inside the spool then takes the slack back automatically, so the strap settles at exactly the length you set and stays there. The alternative — a fixed-length strap with an elastic tail — leaves a loop of webbing lying in the bed every time. With the spool, there is no loop.

Where one-hand operation actually matters

The advantage of a spring rewind is not speed, it is that you can do it with one hand while holding something else. That matters on a tailgate with a bulky load, on a jet ski where you are already gripping the handlebars, on an ATV with both hands on the bars, and at a worksite where a gloved hand has to work a ratchet. It also removes the step most people forget: re-tensioning after the load settles. A spring-loaded spool holds its length without attention.

Choosing between this series and a self-retracting ratchet strap

The two series solve the same problem — no loose webbing — with different mechanisms. The self-retracting ratchet strap has a ratchet handle, lets you set the tension precisely, and carries up to 1,500 kgf, so it is the choice for heavy loads and for anyone who wants a mechanical lock rather than a friction lock. The auto-retract tie down has no ratchet at all; the spool sets the length and the webbing tension is constant once extended, which is why it is rated at 300 kgf breaking strength and a 100 kgf safe working load. If you need fine tension control or a heavier load, take the self-retracting series. If you need one-hand speed, high visibility and a strap that is always the same length, take this one.

Materials, colours and visibility

The two series solve the same problem — no loose webbing — with different mechanisms. The self-retracting ratchet strap has a ratchet handle, lets you set the tension precisely, and carries up to 1,500 kgf, so it is the choice for heavy loads and for anyone who wants a mechanical lock rather than a friction lock. The auto-retract tie down has no ratchet at all; it locks with a cam that squeezes the webbing against the spool's serrated teeth, so the hold is by friction the way a cam buckle strap holds, which is why it is rated at 300 kgf breaking strength and a 100 kgf safe working load. If you need fine tension control or a heavier load, take the self-retracting series. If you need one-hand speed, high visibility and a strap that is always the same length, take this one.

Where it is used

  • Auto-retract tie down holding a box in the boot of a car

    Cars and vans

    Luggage and boxes in a boot or a load bay. The reel holds one fixed length, so there is nothing to trim and no tail left on the floor.

  • Auto-retract tie down securing a bicycle to a truck bed cargo net

    Roof racks and cargo nets

    Bikes, boards and roof boxes. Pull out the length you need, clip the hook on, and the reel takes the slack back in.

  • Auto-retract tie down fastening a bag to a truck bed cargo net

    Trucks and pickups

    Bags and cases in a truck bed or a van, where a strap that rewinds into its housing keeps the load clear of the tailgate and the tarpaulin.

  • Hand tensioning a black webbing strap through an auto-retract reel beside a bicycle

    Tensioning in seconds

    One hand on the strap, one on the hook. The cam locks the webbing against the teeth of the reel, so the tension is held without a ratchet handle in the way.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does it hold tension without a ratchet?
    It locks the way a cam buckle strap locks. Squeezing the cam presses the webbing against the spool's serrated teeth; the teeth bite into the webbing and grip it, so the strap holds the tension you set without a ratchet handle. The spring inside the spool only takes up the slack — the cam, not the spring, carries the load. Because the hold is by friction rather than by a positive pawl, the safe working load is 100 kgf, well below a ratchet strap, and it should not be used on loads that shock, brake or swing. If you want the same cam lock on a fixed-length strap, the 03 series cam buckle strap is the simpler version of the same idea.
  • How long is the webbing on the spool?
    Three metres of webbing on the spool. The important figure is the distance between your two anchor points — the strap has to reach across that gap and hook on, so check that three metres covers your span with a little to spare before you order.
  • Can these be used for heavy machinery?
    Not as the primary restraint. This strap is rated to 300 kgf breaking strength with a 100 kgf safe working load, and the spring spool is not a positive mechanical lock, so for machinery transport we would point you at the 2-inch manual ratchet strap or the self-retracting series instead. Tell us what you are carrying and we will be direct about which series fits.
  • What is your MOQ?
    500 pieces per series and colour for standard configurations, and mixed-colour orders can be smaller. Samples of stock items ship in 2 business days. Custom colours and hook finishes add about 10 days.
