It's a matter of preference. If the strap a hole loosens up, then it doesn't matter if there is a "cleat" or not, the load is still not secure. But if you want, our SuperRatchet Plus is a "double cleat" tie-down with a snap hook on both ends - securetool.store/products/superratchet-plus-black-blue-green-red
You didnt show the front, problem with that is sometimes there is not enough space..in other words the strap is too long ,so I would recomend welding some d rings farther to the front of the trailer, at least that is what I m doing.
That’s one reason I always X cross the straps. Full size car on 18’ trailer… after ratchet and connections, unable to ratchet front tight. Crossing makes it more pia but gives you that extra length to ratchet tight .. Plus it eliminates any possibility of car shifting side to side on trailer at all. I do it front and rear
You didn't get anywhere near enough strap wrapped around that ratchet. You pulled it too tight before ratcheting. That can easily come loose after not too long. I do this almost everyday, if you are posting this for your company, I'd delete it and do it right.
What else is there to trust, god? The smallest diameter weld on D ring you can buy is 3/8. A D ring is a not a compliant mechanism and a 3/8 ring boasts a 5k working load limit with an industry safety rating of .20 meaning the unit shears or experiences catastrophic failure at 25,000lbs.
