Expert Answers about Chevrolet Car Tie Down Straps


  • Tie Down Solution for Corvette on Open Car Hauler
  • This question is refined by several decisions. What will you use for tie down points on the Corvette? What will you use for tie down points on the trailer? How easy do you want it to be. Finally, what looks good. If you are OK with climbing under your car each time to hook into the car and then connect to the edge of the trailer, you can simply use the QuickLoader # Q64FR ratchet straps. You will need to consult your Owner's Manual or Manufacturer for appropriate tie down locations...

  • Recommended Erickson Car Tie Down Items for Wheels of 1934 Chevrolet
  • You should be fine securing your '34 Chevy by its Torq Thrust wheels but you'll want to wrap the strap around the wheel and tire and not just one of the spokes. The Erickson Axle Strap with D-Rings # 88509 is 24-inches long and so should give you plenty of room. For a ratchet with more length than the 7-foot Erickson you might consider the Bulldog Combo Axle/Ratcheting Tie-Down Strap # BDW20229. This serves as both an axle strap (for your wheel) and a 10-foot ratcheting tie down rated...

  • Are Four 1,600 lb Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchors T55B Strong Enough for 4,400 lb Car
  • I am happy to tell you that four of the Stake Pocket Tie-Down Anchor - Black Powder Coat - 2" D-Ring - 1,600 lbs # T55B that you ordered will indeed be strong enough to handle the 4,400 lb car you are going to haul.

  • Will Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier fit Factory Crossbars on 2014 Ford Escape
  • I checked with Yakima and the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04073 is a fit for the factory crossbars on your 2014 Ford Escape. It comes with tie-down straps and bow/stern tie-downs for a single kayak so to carry two kayaks you will need to add the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # Y04031. You may also be interested in the Yakima Hood Anchors # Y07416 if your Escape does not have built-in or easily accessible tie-down points. I do highly recommend...

  • Correct Wheel Strap for Tow Dolly for 2005 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The # 317-18900 would work well on a trailer, but more than likely your tow dolly uses specific straps with a different hook to secure your vehicle to it. Even if you previously had this style, I know a few do, I can't guarantee that it will fit. The length on the fixed side might be too long/short to keep your vehicle properly secured depending on the attachment points. I recommend using the straps designed for your specific tow dolly. We have the following based on tow dolly brand: Ultra-Fab -Wheel...

  • Can I Use ShockStrap Ratchet Straps on Lightweight Race Car?
  • Yes. You can use the ShockStrap Ratchet Straps # 297-9RSBB-M on your race car with an approximate weight of 2700-lbs. These straps have a working load limit of 2000-lbs each, so all 4 of them attached to your trailer and car will provide an extremely secure connection, and you won't have to worry about the straps coming loose during travel. These straps come in a set of 4 and are 2 inches wide x 9 feet long. For what it's worth, our contact over at ShockStrap mentioned that Kubota has...

  • Does Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit Work With Golf Cart
  • Yes it will; a golf cart is absolutely compatible for use with the Erickson tie-down kit you asked about, which is the following part number: - Erickson ATV E-Track Tie-Down Kit w/ Ratchet Straps and Wheel Chocks # EM09160 You just need to ensure your tires are between 10" and 30" in diameter, which the vast majority of golf cart tires are going to be, but I do recommend double-checking just to be on the safe side.

  • Will the Brophy Recessed D-Ring Tie-Down Work on an Enclosed Trailer with Particle Board Floor
  • You can use the Brophy Recessed Trailer D-Ring, # RR5K, on your enclosed trailer, however, my main concern would be the ability of the particle board floor to secure or support a heavy load such as a car. Particle board is weaker than wood boards or plywood. The floor would fail well before the d-ring and that would be the case with most tie-down rings that you would install. It would be best to bolt the d-rings to the trailers frame where possible and add additional reinforcement from...

  • Car Dolly Strap Compatibility with 18 Inch Tires
  • It looks like your strap will work with many car dollys. It will work with the Demco # DM9713045 and the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 as well as the other options we carry. The 18 inch wheels may work with your strap but will not work with the Roadmaster tow dolly. I believe that the Demco Kar Kaddy will handle that size tire if your strap can fit it. The largest strap designed for the Kar Kaddy is # DM03528-93 designed for tires up to 33 inches in diameter and 12.5 inches wide. .If you are...

  • Recommended Roof Kayak Carrier For Square Crossbars

It secures the kayak on it's haul with rubber padded saddles to protect it. The Top Deck also comes with all the necessary straps and tie-downs you'll need. If you need to carry multiple kayaks the Thule Stacker # TH830 is the way to go. It will hold up to 4 kayaks on your roof rack. It will require additional...

  • Can Wheel Nets be Used if Car Hauler D-Rings Aren't Inline with Car Tires
  • The D-Rings can be a little out of line with the tires but you still want them fairly close. If this is the case for your car hauler trailer then you can definitely use something like the ProGrip Adjustable Wheel Net with Ratchet and Snap Hooks # 317-18900 for your application. This fits tires with up to a 33" diameter and that are 12-1/2" wide so it should fit your application just fine. Please note that this comes in a quantity of 1.

  • Can BoatBuckle Pro Series Tie-Down Straps # IMF17631 Be Adjusted For Less Than 24 Inches
  • The BoatBuckle Pro Series Tie-Down Straps, part # IMF17631, have a maximum tie-down length of 24 inches. The straps can be tightened down to a length less than 24 inches. You should have no problem using them if you have a tie-down length of 22 inches. It will not leave much excess strap. I would also look at the BoatBuckle Pro Series Tie-Down Straps, part # IMF17632. These straps have a maximum tie-down length of 48 inches and can be tightened down to 22 inches, but will leave you with...

  • Will E-Track Wheel Net Fit 8 and 10 Inch Tires on a 1955 Messerschmitt KR200 and 1957 BMW Isetta
  • You shouldn't have a problem using the E-track and E-track wheel tie down, # EM58523, on 8 or 10 inch tires on your classic small vehicles. Since 8 and 10 inches are the wheel sizes the actually diameters of the tires should be about twice as much. The strap can go down very small so smaller tires are not a concern. It is larger tires that might not fit.

  • Can E-Track be Recess-Mounted in Car Hauler Trailer
  • While you can absolutely drive on the Erickson Horizontal E-Track # E19148 the track is far more likely to last long term if you have it recess-mounted or you have it installed so that the track is just to the side of your SUV's tires. Then for straps you can use the Erickson E-Track Strap with Ratchet # EM59139 which is 16' long x 2" wide and has a working load limit of 1,165 lbs so you will need at least four of these for a SUV that weighs 4,000 lbs. I have added links to video reviews...

  • Best Way To Haul A Kayak On A 2017 Chevrolet Cruze 5-Door
  • I do have an option that will allow you to carry a kayak on the roof of your 2017 Chevrolet Cruze 5-door, however, as the 5-door models of the Chevrolet Cruze have only been out for a limited amount of time, none of our manufacturers have designed a roof rack confirmed to fit your vehicle yet. Therefore, in order to haul a kayak on the roof of your car, I recommend using the Malone Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG154 as this is the only option there is at this moment to my knowledge....
