Automotive Wheel Tie Down Straps for Auto Hauling

When it comes to securing a vehicle safely to a pickup trailer, flatbed, enclosed trailer, car-hauler, or roll-back trailer one of the best ways to keep the vehicle secured throughout the transportation journey is by using automotive wheel nets and auto-hauling tie-down straps.

Side Mount Wheel Nets go along the outside of the wheel of the vehicle and are tightened into place by using heavy-duty ratchet hardware that flows in one direction to ensure the vehicle does not move out of place once it is tightened. Ratchet Hardware can only be released by pulling up on the release mechanism on the ratchet handle and by opening the ratchet hardware until it is flat to prevent the vehicle from ever accidentally becoming unsecured. This is why ratchet hardware is the most commonly used tie-down hardware for securing vehicles in place until they reach the next destination.

Automotive Tie Down Straps are placed over the top of the wheel of the vehicle and are tightened into place by using heavy-duty and durable ratchet hardware with swivel J hooks that can quickly latch into a variety of different securement rings or e-track rail systems that are installed along the flooring of the trailer. Swivel J hooks feature a 10,000 lbs breaking strength or a 3,335 lbs working load limit and are able to swivel into place to ensure you find the perfect spot to tighten the strap into place.

Lasso Straps are one of the most popular automotive hauling tie-down straps as they are extremely simple to use compared to other methods. Lasso straps are more commonly used for securement applications such as exotic or low-profile vehicles in the automotive transportation industry. Lasso Straps can be made with a variety of different ratchet hardware and short-end configurations to accommodate just about any securement location inside an enclosed trailer, pickup trailer, or roll-back trailer system.

Auto Hauling Replacement Straps for Repairing Damaged Straps

Most tie-down straps last between 2-5 years on average, but due to circumstances such as sharp edges creating friction or weakening webbing over time they will need to be replaced at some point. One of the leading causes of failures in tie-down straps by far is moisture which can create mold or mildew that can damage or destroy your tie-downs.
