How Do You Strap Down a Car for Hauling?
Whether you’re moving your car across the country, taking it to a track day, or showcasing it at an event, it’s vital to keep your vehicle safe and ensure the safety of others on the road. SpeedStrap Tie Downs play a key role in this process. Properly securing your car is not just about protecting your valuable asset; it’s also about contributing to overall road safety.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to use SpeedStrap Tie Downs effectively for securing your car. You’ll learn the necessary skills and gain the confidence to transport your car both smoothly and securely.
1. Prioritize Proper Placement
Before securing your car, take a moment to plan the placement of your straps and devices. The right positioning is fundamental to a successful tie-down process. It’s not just about tying down your car; it’s about doing it the right way.
2. Axle Strap Combinations: Strength Tailored for Cars
Our Axle Strap Combinations are designed to meet the specific needs of car transportation. These straps come with convenient handles and a gentle release mechanism, as well as large, durable hooks on each end for a secure hold. An additional protective layer is included to prevent any damage to your car’s surface.
How to Use
Position the strap around your car’s axle, ensuring the protective part is correctly aligned to avoid any scratches. Then, connect the hooks to your tie-down points and tighten to a comfortable level without over-tightening.
Benefits
This method offers a very firm grip, ensuring your car’s stability during both short and long trips.

3. Through-the-Wheel Tie-Downs: Ensuring Firm Attachment
Standard tie-downs may loosen over uneven terrain due to the car’s suspension dynamics. The solution is to attach them directly through the wheels, which stay closer to the trailer. Our Through-the-Wheel Tie-Downs are specially designed for this purpose, threading through the car’s wheel and keeping it securely attached to the trailer while allowing for natural suspension movement.
How to Use
Thread the strap through the wheel and fasten the ends to your tie-down system, adjusting the tension as needed.
Benefits
This approach ensures that your car remains firmly in place, providing additional security on rough roads.

4. Heavy-Duty Tire Bonnets: All-Around Protection
Choose our Heavy-Duty Tire Bonnets for complete tire security. Place the bonnet beneath the tire, center the tire on it, and then pull the bonnet’s sides up and over the tire to secure it to the trailer.
Benefits
The tire bonnet wraps around your car’s tire, minimizing movement and enhancing stability for a smoother transportation experience.
5. Safety First and Always
Inspect Before Departure
Always check your straps and securing equipment before you set off to ensure they’re in optimal condition.
Maintain Balance
Make sure your car is evenly positioned on the trailer to avoid any transit issues.
Proper Tension
Secure your straps firmly but avoid over-tightening to maintain the right balance.
