For me to say something is the best ever takes a lot. There may be tougher straps on the market but no strap comes close to the innovation of the Wessel Quickloaders. Let’s face it, cargo straps are a pain in the ass. They are always tangled, hard to undo, hard to feed the second webbing through the little slot and the hook always comes of when you walking to the other side. I know you have had all these happen to you. The Quickloader solves all these issues with one simple spring-loaded wheel that stores the cord neatly.
Simply hook to your toe down and pull the strap across, the springs tension will keep the hook from coming off of the tie down. You only pull out what you need. When you are done you can use the extra long handle to release the strap and the spring rolls the strap neatly back up. This one piece system is just awesome. Now that I have found Quickloaders I am never going back to a traditional strap.
They come in a variety of sizes and strengths:
- QL1500 12′ 1500lbs breaking strength and 500lbs work load via Amazon
- QL3000 15′ 3000lbs breaking strength and 1000lbs work load via Amazon
- QL4500 15′ 4500lbs breaking strength and 1500lbs work load via Amazon
- QL10000 27′ 10000lbs breaking strength and 3333lbs work load via Amazon
I use a set of these with great success.

I’m with you guys though, if I don’t take 10 minutes to put the other straps away properly then they are a knoted mess next time I need to use them.
Good find Jeff, I will have to check them out
Those are cool.I have seen something like that before and wanted to get some.But I have so many straps already. Nice review though.
They are cool nothing kills my mood worse than being held up by my friend while he fiddles with his busted up hardly working ratchet straps when its dark out and the temps re in the single digits. I think that’s how thinks like attempted murder to actual murder happen 🙂 It all started from some cheap ratchet straps!!
These are so simple that I’m really surprised these are not the norm. I thought about something like this before but that all I did was think about it. Cool design & it looks simple to use. If there was a way to lose the straps I aleady own??? Laters TIA
Awesome review! Thanks! QUICKLOADER is available here: http://www.wesselindustries.com
