Vinyl Coated S Hooks — 10-Pack for Tarp Straps and Light-Duty Connections

Ten vinyl coated S hooks for tarp strap connections, cargo net hooks, and light-duty attachment applications. The vinyl coating protects the contact surfaces on both the hook and the surfaces it connects to — paint, rubber, metal, and fabric. At 2,500 lbs break strength, these are built for the physical demands of daily tarp and bungee/strap use.

Important: These hooks are for tarp straps and similar light-duty applications — not for cargo load securement on commercial vehicles. See our S-Hook for Tarp Straps (SKU: RTSHKX10) for the specific hook used with tarp runner systems on flatbeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the break strength of these vinyl coated S hooks?

2,500 lbs. No working load limit is stated for these hooks — they're intended for tarp strap and light-duty applications, not rated load securement. For DOT/FMCSA cargo securement, use rated transport chain assemblies or rated strap assemblies with appropriate WLL ratings.

What does the vinyl coating do?

The vinyl coating provides a soft, non-scratching surface on the hook body. This matters when the hook contacts painted vehicle bodies, rubber components, or coated cargo surfaces — bare steel hooks can scratch or mar finishes on contact. The coating also adds minor corrosion resistance and grip at the hook contact points.

Can S hooks be used for cargo securement on a commercial vehicle?

S hooks are not approved for cargo load securement on commercial vehicles. Cargo securement requires rated assembly components — chains with WLL ratings and G70 stamping, straps with rated WLL and DOT/FMCSA-compliant fittings. S hooks lack the ratings and locking features required for legal cargo securement. Use them for tarps and bungees — not as a substitute for rated tie-down hardware.

PRODUCT 24 ⚠️ CRITICAL DISCLAIMER — S-Hook For Tarp Straps | 10 PACK | SKU: RTSHKX10

S-Hooks for Flatbed Tarp Straps — 10-Pack for Tarp Runner Systems

⚠️ NOT FOR CARGO LOAD SECUREMENT — READ BEFORE USE

These S-hooks are designed exclusively for flatbed tarp straps — the bungee-style straps that hold a tarp to a trailer. They are not rated, not approved, and not legal for cargo load securement on commercial vehicles. Using S-hooks to secure cargo on a regulated vehicle is a DOT violation. Commercial drivers can be placed out of service and ticketed on the spot. If you need cargo securement hardware, see our rated chain assemblies and ratchet strap products.

With that clear: these S-hooks do exactly what they're built for. Flatbed tarp systems use bungee straps with S-hook ends that attach to the trailer's side rails to hold the tarp down and in place on a loaded flatbed. The S-hook fits the rail, the bungee holds the tarp, and after thousands of miles in wind and weather, hooks get bent, lost, or broken. This 10-pack keeps a flatbed driver in business when tarp hardware needs replacing on the road.

No specs for cargo securement exist for this product — and none are provided, because they don't apply to this application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use tarp S-hooks for cargo securement?

No. Tarp S-hooks are not rated for cargo securement and are not DOT/FMCSA approved for that purpose. Using them to secure cargo on a commercial vehicle is a federal violation under 49 CFR Part 393. Commercial drivers found with unrated or improper securement hardware face citations and out-of-service orders. For cargo securement, use rated ratchet straps with WLL labels or Grade 70 chain assemblies.

What tarp strap systems do these hooks fit?

These S-hooks fit standard flatbed tarp runner / bungee strap systems used on flatbed trailers with side rail mounting points. They are a replacement part for existing tarp bungee strap sets. If you're unsure whether the hook profile fits your trailer's specific rail, contact GO-TOW.COM with your trailer type.

Why do tarp hooks get replaced so often?

Tarp S-hooks live in a hard environment. Constant wind vibration, loading/unloading impacts, and road spray work the hook over thousands of trips. The thin wire S profile can open up from repeated flex, especially in cold weather when metal loses ductility. Having a 10-pack on hand is standard practice for flatbed drivers running tarped loads regularly — you'll go through them.
