Common uses

Buyers use 8 point tie down straps & kit for car haulers, rollbacks and wreckers, securing vehicles by the tires or axles and roadside towing and vehicle recovery. Secure vehicles at four points and strap the tires or axles, not body panels, so the suspension can move without loosening the tie-down.

How to choose 8 point tie down straps & kit

Pick the width and rating first: add up the WLL of every strap so the total is at least half the cargo weight, then choose an end fitting that matches your anchor points. Use edge protectors where webbing crosses sharp corners.

Working load limits in this section run from 3,333 lbs to 22,000 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Strap tires, not bodywork. Wheel nets and tire straps keep tension as the suspension moves.
2. Choose fittings for your deck. Flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks and e-track ends suit different anchor points.
3. Use the right strap for recovery. Recovery straps stretch to absorb energy; tow straps do not.

Materials compared

• Polyester (8 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• High Tenacity Polyester (1 product) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.

Specifications to compare

• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.
• Length — make sure the strap reaches over the load and back to the anchor with enough tail to tension properly.
• Strap width — wider webbing generally carries a higher rating and spreads pressure over more of the load.
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.

Before you buy

• Add up the working load limits of all tie-downs against the cargo weight.
• Check that the end fitting matches the anchor points on your trailer.
• Make sure the length reaches over the load with tail left to tension.
