Tying down cargo securely is essential for safe transportation. However, it’s equally important to know how to loosen tie-down straps properly to prevent damage to the cargo or the straps themselves.
There are a few different ways to loosen tie-down straps, depending on the type of strap and buckle you’re using. The most common type of tie-down strap has a cam buckle, which can be loosened by pulling up on the release tab. Other types of buckles may have a lever or a push-button that needs to be pressed to release the strap.
