Shaun, I think you do it with the weight of the carrier on the ground.

Pins are not coated with anything. The pins are hardened (not at the end) and the carbon in the s.g. iron link acts as a 'lubricant' (dis-similar metals)

Suggest you stick with the ratchet strap, but make up some metal hooks that go through the sprocket holes.
The suggestion is based on the Australian track winch hook as an example. It is held in place by a small pin.
