Car Tie Down Straps for Safe, Secure Vehicle Transport
Auto tie downs are essential for professional haulers, towing operators, and car enthusiasts who need to move vehicles with confidence. Our selection of wheel straps, axle straps, and car hauler tie downs covers enclosed trailers, open trailers, flatbeds, and tow dollies - engineered to keep cars, trucks, and SUVs secure from load-up to unload.
What Are Auto Tie Downs?
Automotive tie downs are purpose-built to secure vehicles to trailers, flatbeds, or dollies. Constructed from high-tensile industrial polyester webbing, these straps reduce shifting and bouncing to help protect frames, suspensions, wheels, and finishes. Unlike general-purpose ratchet straps, they include protective sleeves and specialized end fittings designed specifically for vehicle securement.
Types of Car Tie Down Straps
Adjustable Wheel Nets
- Over-the-wheel design that holds the tire in place for low-profile, stable securement—great for enclosed haulers and high-value vehicles.
- Available in dual-strap side mount and single-strap side mount styles to fit a range of tire sizes.
- End fittings include flat hooks, snap hooks, and chain extensions.
Tow Dolly Straps
- Basket straps wrap over the tread in a ladder-style configuration, ideal for simple tow dollies.
- Choose flat hook or snap hook end fittings to match your anchors.
E-Track Wheel Straps
- Car tie-down straps with E-Track fittings on both ends, perfect when your trailer already has E-Track installed.
- Includes rubber tire blocks that seat into the tire’s rain grooves for a precise fit.
Car Hauler Straps (Flatbed)
- Operate like E-Track straps without the track; connect to D-ring anchor points installed in your deck.
- Ratcheting mechanism helps achieve consistent, optimal strap tension across the route.
Axle Straps
- Wrap around axles or approved suspension points to create a secure anchor for tie down assemblies.
- Made with 12,000 lb industrial-grade polyester webbing and protective sleeves to reduce wear.
Choosing the Right Car Tie Downs
- Low-clearance / race cars: Use axle straps with sleeves to protect delicate components.
- Enclosed haulers: Adjustable wheel nets offer quick, low-profile securement.
- Open trailers: Flat-hook or lasso-style systems speed up installs and work with common anchors.
Best Practices for Vehicle Securement
- Match ratings: Use the strap’s Working Load Limit (WLL) to plan securement; never exceed it.
- Protect contact points: Use sleeves/soft loops on painted or delicate areas; keep webbing flat and untwisted.
- Set tension evenly: Pre-tension by hand, then ratchet to a firm, balanced hold on all four corners.
- Inspect every trip: Check stitching, webbing, and hardware; replace worn components promptly.
