Auto Tie Down Straps
Car Tie Down Straps
Auto tie downs are essential tools for professional haulers, car enthusiasts, and towing operators who need to transport vehicles safely. Our wheel straps come in many different configurations to suit a variety of car hauling applications - whether you're operating a commercial hauler, towing a disabled vehicle, or securing a show car, our products are built to keep cars, trucks, and SUVs secure during transit.
What Are Auto Tie Downs?
Auto tie down straps are specialized vehicle tie down solutions designed to secure automobiles to trailers, flatbeds, or tow dollies. Constructed from high-tensile polyester webbing, these straps are engineered for the rigors of vehicle transportation. They reduce shifting and bouncing, helping prevent damage to the frame, suspension, or paint during the haul.
Unlike general-purpose ratchet straps, automotive tie downs are built specifically to accommodate vehicle frames, axles, or wheels, using protective sleeves and specialized end fittings for added safety.
Types of Auto Tie Down Straps
Our full selection of truck and car tie downs includes options for nearly every vehicle and trailer setup. All are made from heavy-duty, industrial-grade polyester webbing and high-quality hardware for lasting performance.

Adjustable Wheel Nets
Ideal for enclosed trailers and luxury vehicle transport, wheel nets are over-the-wheel tie downs designed to securely hold automobiles in place. They come in several styles, including dual strap side mount and single strap side mount, and are adjustable to fit a variety of tire sizes.
End fittings for this car tie down include flat hooks, snap hooks, and chain extensions.
Tow Dolly Straps
The tow dolly basket strap is a popular car trailer tie down for use with a simple car tow dolly - industrial grade webbing is stitched into a ladder-like configuration that wraps over the top surface of the tire. Choose from either a flat hook or snap hook end fitting.
E-Track Wheel Straps
Car tie-down straps for E-Track come with E track fittings on either end of the trailer car straps, perfect for applications where E-track is already installed. This auto tie down is commonly used for stock cars, race cars, or custom cars that are frequently transported to events.
The included rubber blocks fit into the rain groves of the tire to ensure a secure fit.

Car Hauler Straps
Car hauler straps for flatbeds work the same way as the E-track straps without the track. D-ring anchor points can be installed directly into the bed of your truck for easy installation, and the ratcheting mechanism lets you achieve optimal strap tension.
Axle Straps
Axle straps are fixed around the vehicle's axle to secure it to a trailer or truck for transit. These automotive tie downs are easy-to-use and are made with 12,000 lb. industrial-grade polyester webbing for maximum strength and durability.
They have protective sleeves to reduce wear and tear.
Choosing the Right Car Tie Downs
The right car hauler tie down straps depends on your load, trailer type, and hauling preferences:
- For race cars or low-clearance vehicles, axle straps with protective sleeves reduce risk to delicate parts.
- Enclosed haulers often rely on adjustable wheel nets for low-profile securement.
- Open trailers benefit from flat hook or lasso-style systems for quicker installs.
