I was talking with someone about ways to secure a car for transport. I usually strap through the wheels with 3" wide nylon straps when securing a car to the trailer. I usually don't criss-cross the straps.
What do you do? What have you seen that you felt was wrong or unsafe? What about damages to cars from strapping? Why type and size of straps do you use? Got pictures? Share your strapping thoughts and experiences... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

no pictures right now
but I use wheel straps that go through a D ring at the front of the forward tires, then over the tires, and then into E track straight down at the rear of the tire. kinda like what you see on a Uhaul.... pulls the entire front wheel and tire down. on the back, I quit crossing the straps I built aluminum spacers over my rear shock bolts turned the shaft of them to fit the strap ends snap on to the shock and pull back wards as a safety really the front straps holding the tire down do all of the work no walking... the rear straps are for emergency stops or wrecks. I've towed this was from Colorado to California about 6 times.... geez... how many 10 hour days is that.... probably 13,000 miles plus Nebraska, Kansas, texas, Oklahoma, etc |
