i need to move a 70" wide car on my trailer which is 72" wide between the fenders.
is 1" clearance each side too damn close? I have had the 914 shift on me a little, but it is 5" narrower. I only have to go about 25 miles so I'm inclined too risk it. dr |

As long as the car fits without hitting anything you are OK as long as you cross brace the car to static tie downs.
And the cross brace (tie down) must be a (weight) rated tie down strap that has a ratchet to tighten the strap. I wouldn't use rope of any kind as it stretches, even if you use a proper trucker knot. Mr. M is right as well. About the only time you hit the car is when you're loading or unloading it on the trailer. Helps to have someone watching. |
