What are the functions of alloy cam buckle in logistics and transportation?

1. Fast securement of light to medium-weight cargo
The Cam Buckle uses a cam mechanism to quickly tighten the straps, making it easy to operate. Users only need to pull the straps to the desired tension and release the cam to lock the position. This design is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent loading and unloading, such as cargo securing inside a truck or short-distance transportation.

2. Protect fragile items
Since the tension of the Cam Buckle is completely dependent on manual pulling, it can avoid damage to the cargo caused by over-tightening. Therefore, it is widely used to secure fragile items such as glass products, ceramics, and small antiques. For example, it is mentioned that the Cam Buckle is often used to protect glass and ceramics in transportation.

3. Suitable for medium loads
The working load limit of the standard Cam Buckle strap is usually between 500-833 pounds, such as the 833-pound load mentioned, the medium Dual CamJam model is 530 pounds, and the breaking strength is 1200 pounds. This makes it suitable for securing medium-sized cargo such as motorcycles, canoes, and bicycles, but heavier loads require ratchet straps.

3. Material and Durability
The Cam Buckle made of alloy materials (such as zinc alloy) is corrosion-resistant and suitable for wet or outdoor environments. For example, the zinc alloy fasteners mentioned in and provide reliable locking force while maintaining lightweight. In addition, some models are equipped with non-slip rubber-coated hooks to enhance the stability of fixation.

4. Flexibility and Compatibility
The Cam Buckle strap can be combined with a variety of transportation equipment, such as roof racks, trailers, E-track systems, etc. The 3-meter extended strap mentioned in is suitable for flexible fixation of large cargo on the frame. In addition, its flat mesh belt design can reduce wear on the cargo surface.

5. Limitations
The Cam Buckle is not suitable for overweight cargo, and the tension adjustment accuracy is lower than that of the ratchet device. It is pointed out that the Cam Buckle strap cannot provide extremely high tension like a ratchet strap and is only suitable for light to medium loads.
