Question 1

Hi, would these be suitable for a 1500 lb harley tri glide?

Accepted Answer

I've owned Harleys and used many a ratchet tie down when trailering, but my bikes weighed in the 700lb  range. I'm using these Rhinos on a 700lb ATV. For a 1500lb bike, I'd probably go with bigger strap.

Question 2

Is it legal to have usa on the product if it is made in china?  i want to buy american mfg. product.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it isn’t illegal to have USA as part of your business name. They are headquartered in California (Peoples Republic of Cali) USA, so by alluding to USA in their marketing, it’s a legal but deceptive practice. I wouldn’t buy their product if it was gold-plated just because of the ethical impropriety. I’ve said it before, people will automatically feel better about the product if they believe it’s a domestic product; a trick of the mind. The thought of Made-in-America will make a product feel heavier and more substantial than its counterpart sold without the deceptive name. Even if it is well made, the Chicom manufacturers have proven time and again they use inferior material and dangerous chemicals not allowed in USA. But...it’s completely legal.

Question 3

Where are thwy made? I see its an american business so im curious.

Accepted Answer

not made in usa. company told me the webbing is made here but everything else is made overseas. thats why it took 1-2months for stock to come back in because the boat takes that long to get here from china. i have no idea how its cost effective to ship USA made webbing overseas just to get it shipped back. unless they buy the hooks and ratchets overseas and stitch the webbing here. atleast that would support two USA jobs. webbing and stitching.

!!!!! NOT MADE IN USA !!!!!! QUOTE FROM COMPANY OWNER: "As you know we are a small family company, only in business about 1 year and trying to make a name for ourselves. We LOVE our country and our flag, that’s why we called our company Rhino USA. We use the flag on our straps because all of our webbing is produced in Naperville, IL and is a special blend engineered and designed by US and made in the USA. However, since our ratchets and hooks are manufactured overseas, we do not advertise that our products are MADE IN THE USA. You do not see those words on ANY of our marketing, Amazon listings or our website (and I’m sure you searched every square inch)"

Question 4

How short can this strap be?

Accepted Answer

You are limited by the length of the strap attached to the ratchet mechanism. You should be able to go as short as 24"  and as long as 8ft in length when binding a load.
