Australian innovation engineered to improve the everyday load-restraint workflow.
The Race Reels® journey began with a simple challenge: create a better ratchet strap for securing surfboards. Like operators everywhere, we had accepted the threading, tangles, excess webbing and hand-rolling built into conventional ratchets.
Once examined properly, it became clear that the problem was not one feature—it was the entire workflow.
We analysed the conventional-ratchet workflow across loading, transit, unloading and storage, identifying 17 separate problems that operators repeatedly encounter.
Each problem was addressed through extensive research, development, prototyping and testing. The result was the patented Race Reels® side-loading ratchet and separate reel system—a complete redesign of how load-restraint webbing is deployed, tensioned, released and stored.
Our mission is to replace outdated conventional-ratchet workflows with a modern load-restraint system engineered to be faster, easier and safer to use.
Race Reels® is designed to return time to operators and fleets, eliminate unnecessary handling and support a higher everyday safety standard across the transport industry.
