Towing Accessories and Products

What you will find here

This section lists 121 towing accessories and products across 3 sub-categories (Fifth Wheel Ramps & Accessories, Towing Accessories Kits, Heavy-Duty Wrecker Accessories). Prices currently range from $4.89 to $14,414.09 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use towing accessories and products 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 towing accessories and products

Match the strap or net to your tire size and the anchor fittings on your car hauler — flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks or E-track.

Working load limits in this section run from 3,500 lbs to 30,000 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

• Steel (27 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• UHMWPE (21 products) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.
• Virgin UHMWPE (9 products) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.
• Alloy Steel (7 products) — Heat-treated alloy steel gives high strength for its size and is the material used for rated lifting chain and hardware.
• Aluminum (6 products) — Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant, which makes it easy to handle and install.

Specifications to compare

• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Crush rating — how much load the item can bear before deforming.
• Basket / angled capacity — the rated load when the sling cradles the load or legs run at an angle. Lower angles increase the tension in each leg, so always use the rating for your actual angle.
• Vertical capacity — the rated load for a single sling leg hanging straight up and down.
• 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.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
