Is it just me, or does this guy do an excellent job of being descriptive and very informative? Thank you so much, sir! As good business entrepreneurs, we should want a Clean, and Safe presentation for our company, drivers, and Freight! Keep up the good work, sir, and everybody else who's traveling on the roads! Watch out for other people! They Are Not Paying Attention!!!! Be Vigilant and Alert when we're on the road in Jesus' Name, Amen!
Thank you for that videos. We strap things down at work all the time but never know what to do with the extra strapping. Usually we have just duct taped it to the tension part of the strap. Thank you so much.
I just bought a tandem axle with (brakes on both) utility trailer that has a GVWR of 7000. The sales guy said I can tow my 3200lb car no problem, but in seeing mixed answers on the internet. Would you have any concerns as long as I don’t exceed the 5000lb payload capacity?
GVW is total weight loaded. Subtract the trailer weight from 7k and that's the limit you can tow. My trailer is a 14k gvw. Trailer weighs 4k lbs. So max load I can carry is 10k lbs / 5 tons.
Thanks for the video; I've been doing this for a few years myself, but always great to see and hear how others do it. On that note, is there any reason why you guys (In the US, I'm in the UK) don't use Over Wheel Straps?
We do use over the wheel straps also. It comes down to preference. Also depends on the trailer that use different type of mounting points. I already had these straps and they are easy to store under my seat.
Good question. 3 things. 1. Car in park with e brake on should prevent wheel from spinning. 2. If the wheel does spin the strap will let you know the wheel spun giving you time to pull over and adjust strap in a quick manner to get back on the road. The 3 other straps will keep the car in place. Each strap is rated at 3,333 lbs. The car weighs 3300 lbs. Less time on the side of the road is a safe day.
I swear that all of this was so good until this moment 3:22. I can not unhear the ratchet. It sounds like its unwinding from just that minor hand chop... Am I mistaken? Please correct me lol if I am. Otherwise how was that secure?
Man I loved that info but whyd you have to kill the entertainment by not finishing the whole car, I enjoyed the video, but why did you have to stop it after just 1 strap, maybe other people don't want to watch, but I sure got bummed, no more tips or tricks? I need this information I'm learning, and I enjoyed this type of content, dam :(

Thank you for the positive feedback.
Great tips here, thank you . I had never thought to run the end back through the ratchet
EXCELLENT. I tie down motorcycles on my truck for YEARS and always get confused on how to run the strap through the ratchets
Great video. Thank you for posting it up.

I like this I’m gonna start using this idea

I already had these straps and they are easy to store under my seat.
What’s the measurement of the straps? And where did you get them? Thank you
8ft.
Any auto store or Amazon has them.
What if the wheel spins and now your strap is loose?
Good question. 3 things.
1. Car in park with e brake on should prevent wheel from spinning.
2. If the wheel does spin the strap will let you know the wheel spun giving you time to pull over and adjust strap in a quick manner to get back on the road.
The 3 other straps will keep the car in place. Each strap is rated at 3,333 lbs. The car weighs 3300 lbs.
Less time on the side of the road is a safe day.
Is a 32ft good for 2 car
Should be good for 2 cars.
If my truck weights about 4,900 LBS what kind of tie down straps weight capacity do I get something over 4k?
The straps in the video are rated at 3,333 lbs each. I tow my 7k lb diesel truck with the same straps.
In your opinion, can you tow a 2600lb small car on a SINGLE axel trailer rated GVWR 7000lb??. Dry weight 2100.
7000 lbs is the total weight.
Add the trailer weight and vehicle weight. If you're less than the 7000 lbs you're good to go.
I swear that all of this was so good until this moment 3:22. I can not unhear the ratchet. It sounds like its unwinding from just that minor hand chop... Am I mistaken? Please correct me lol if I am.
Otherwise how was that secure?
I assure you it's not unwinding. Hearing that noise tells me the ratchet is tight. If I don't hear that sound, the ratchet needs to be tightened.
@@rubyredracing Interesting, good to know, thanks for the reply!
Great video, quick and to the point !!
What is the car is on steel wheels?
These straps can also go over the tire. Then ratchet as shown in the video.
Good tip

Could I use a heavy equipment trailer with a pintle ring for car hauling as well?
yes
thanks
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊
What about the front?
Use the same method up front.
