Hi Kevin, I've never felt comfortable using straps to tie heavy equipment down. I always use 3/8" chain as I just feel better. Safe working load of the 1" strap that I used had a 15oolb rating and had the good style ratchet head. The strap is gone so I'm only guessing it broke. It was in good shape tho and only securring a 200# load. The tanks were inside of thin cardboard box's then rapped in plastic together side by side. That in it's self "may" have been a contributing factor as to handle just the bare metal tank is very difficult (very slick) because of the tank shape and paint with no hand holds. The tanks just as well could have squirted out of the bottom of the box's but you would think the 1" strap would be there. In any event it's all my fault as I should have tied them down differently. You can bet the next load will get triple checked a couple times :) T_Bone
