Securing your car to a trailer

[DavidKFla]

Thanks, easy to do, don't have to reach under the car or add more hardware to the car or more tie downs to the trailer itself. After they are tight, no worries or no scratching to worry about. Just make sure whatever points you use onyour trailer it obviously holds. What trailer are you going to use?

I'm trying to find straps similar to yours to secure the atv in the trailer. No success as of now. 🥺🥺

It is not hard:

Just a suggestion, if you ever want to buy another trailer look for one with a 4 ft. beavertail drop in the rear floor area.
Much easier to load low cars.

My hold downs are in the front and rear of the tires so that loop type doesn't seem like it would work?

Seems like they have that option, keep studying.

Because of the small tire size I keep getting that they're too big.

A basic lasso strap, as shown in DGatzby's photo earlier, doesn't care how small or large the tire is.
Usually there's no need for the vertical support shown in the Vulcan photo above.

I'll start looking around and see what I can find. Or maybe I should check the straps that I already have.

Normal lasso straps is what I generally use, more often than wheel nets.

Either over the tire like DGatzby showed, or with a fuzzy sleeve through the wheel. All depending on where the trailers' anchor points are, and what vehicle it is.

It has solid wheels so that's not an option. It's a baby Yamaha Grizzly used as a pit cruiser.

I kinda sorta remember the photo(s) you posted of that. Could you repost and I'll put my thinking cap on?

 

[DGatzby]

If it is smaller ATV shit just tie thru the wheel and pretend it is a motorcycle.

Edit… I just was reading your solid wheel problem. Damn it David! Then buy new wheels!!

Yep, get out the motorcycle tie-downs and grab that frame anywhere.

Very close quarters.

It sits between the Charger and the cabinets. It can't move more than a couple of inches. It's already scratched 1 cabinet door.

With those tires you could use a strap over the tire, or a lasso strap either as in the Vulcan photo, or as DGatzby uses his. If there is room to get to them that is.

Another option could be to make "buckets" for the front tires, like they use for motorcycles, and then strap the rears.

I can't use anything that's above floor level since it's in a traffic area and in front of the side door.

I'm going to have to see the straps that I have will work lasoing the tires. Rear hold downs have room, front doesn't.

I'd make the front "buckets" so they click into E or L-track.

I had extra hold downs put in. Pretty soon the floor will be nothing but them and tracks.
