Car Hauler Trailer

Car Hauler Tie Downs for Professional Vehicle Transport

Car hauler tie downs secure each vehicle by its tires rather than the frame. Each strap wraps over the tire and hooks to the trailer deck; on steel-deck car haulers, the holes in the metal platform serve as anchor points for swivel J hooks. On most of these straps, rubber blocks fit into the tire's tread grooves to keep the strap in place.

Winch-Fed or Ratchet: Choosing Car Hauler Wheel Straps

OEM replacement straps for trailer winches. Designed for professional auto haulers, these replacement wheel straps for car haulers connect to the trailer deck with two hooks, and the loose end feeds into the trailer's mounted winches. Choose swivel J-hooks (one fixed, one floating) or double-J wire hooks, in 10' or 14' lengths.

Both hook styles have three adjustable, cleated rubber blocks that grab the tire's tread, plus a 12" Cordura sleeve that slides along the webbing to protect it from hook abrasion. Both are AWRF accredited and DOT compliant.

Car hauler ratchet straps. The other six straps on this page tighten with a wide-handle ratchet and attach with three swivel hooks or three wire hooks. Some have fixed rubber blocks that sit in the same place on the tire every time; others have adjustable blocks that slide along the strap for proper placement. For race cars and other vehicles with low clearance around the wheels, two of the wire hook straps have a low-profile design. Every ratchet strap here is also sold in a value-priced 4-pack.

Webbing and Load Limits

Every strap on this page uses 12,000 lb. polyester webbing that's abrasion- and shrink-resistant, with limited bounce.

We recommend tying down all four tires of every vehicle. The combined working load limit (WLL) of the four straps should be greater than the vehicle's weight; for example, four swivel hook ratchet straps at 2,200 lbs. WLL each give 8,800 lbs. combined. On ratchet straps, keep 2 to 4 wraps of webbing on the ratchet mandrel, per WSTDA guidelines; extra wraps can reduce the WLL. Measure your tires first with our tire measuring guide.
