We offer tie-down straps in a variety of sizes, lengths, and weight capacities, so whether you want to secure light cargo or transport heavy items, you’ll easily choose the strap that’s right for your needs. We cooperate only with the most trusted brands such as Erickson, Drop-Tail, Lockstraps, etc., to ensure you get products of the highest possible quality.

Powersports tie-down straps offer many benefits over chains. First of all, they are significantly lighter and easier to use than chains. Plus, they are soft to the touch and won’t scratch the finish of your vehicle. Tie-down straps are usually made from the highest quality synthetic webbing such as polyester or nylon to combine strength with ease of use. Polyester and nylon have excellent moisture-wicking properties, so they won’t mold, rot or mildew even when repeatedly exposed to rain, snow, and other harsh weather conditions. Highly resistant to abrasions and harmful UV rays, polyester and nylon tie-downs are proven to last year in and year out. Tie-down straps come in a diverse range of colors. Some even come in neon colors to help you easily control the strap tension during transportation.

Whether you transport your ATV, UTV or other cargo in the trailer or in the bed of your pickup, tie-down straps will keep it firmly in place no matter how long the ride. However, when shopping for tie-down straps, consider their weight capacity, i.e. the maximum weight the strap is designed to withstand. If you haul heavier loads, you might need several tie-down straps for greater security. To properly tie-down your off-road toy or other belongings, make sure that the combined weight capacity of the straps exceeds the weight of your load. If, for instance, you want to secure cargo weighing 500 lbs with two straps, the weight capacity of each strap should be no less than 250 lbs.

It is also very important to choose the right length. If the strap is too short to connect two opposite anchor points or your cargo and the anchor point, it won’t suit you. A too long strap will have large loose ends that will be flapping during transport. You may also choose from various types of hooks, including S-hooks, J-hooks, flat and snap hooks. S-hook tie-down straps are the most popular option available on the market since they work with almost all anchors and tie-down points. The J-hook is typically found on the one end of the strap and is perfect for applications where the S-hook may cause strap twisting. Low-profile flat hooks fit over rub rails of the trailer and thin anchor points. Snap hooks come with a latch that closes the hook around the tie-down anchor for a safer and more secure grip.

There are three types of buckles used in straps. The cam-buckles are designed to secure medium-sized cargo such as ATVs, motorcycles, etc. They usually have a weight capacity of up to 500 lbs and are extremely easy to use. Just pull the strap through the buckle to the desired tension and then release the cam that features teeth to prevent slipping. Ratchet straps are perfect for heavy loads since they provide better holding power. To keep the strap taut, you should open the ratchet so that the spool is easily accessible and pull the webbing through the slot. Then position the hooks and start tightening the strap by raising and lowering the handle repeatedly. Over-center buckles are better suited for securing smaller items such as batteries, coolers, gas cans, boxes. etc. This buckle type is also extremely easy to use. You’ll just have to open the fastener, wound the strap through the lever arm, and then remove the excessive slack and close the buckle.
