Benefits of technology

The invention is a wraparound portable holder that provides a convenient and efficient way to carry and use a restraint device. It also provides protection against damage to the cargo or transportation device. The holder has a body, a protective insert, a closure means, a fixed end guide, a connection means, and a storage means. The protective insert is placed inside the body of the holder. The technical effects of the invention include improved storage and protection of the restraint device, as well as convenient and easy use.

Problems solved by technology

Drawbacks to the conventional use of a ratchet strap in transportation are the mechanisms themselves.
Due to their metal frame and bulky size, the conventional ratchet strap often inadvertently causes damage to the cargo or the transportation device (i.e., causes scratches to the vehicle).
When not in use, the operator is usually left with very few options to effectively store the long straps and ratchet mechanism in a small space.
