You’re securing a very heavy load with a ratchet strap. Which anchorage point is unsafe to use with ratchet straps?

Explanation: Rope hooks aren't designed to withstand high forces. They're usually just welded or bolted to the underside of the platform. Many are so weak that they can easily be distorted by a ratchet buckle when a webbing strap is tightened. Secure anchorage points should be built into the main frame or chassis of the vehicle.
