What you will find here

Common uses

Buyers use heavy-duty wrecker accessories 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 heavy-duty wrecker accessories

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.

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

• Alloy Steel (6 products) — Heat-treated alloy steel gives high strength for its size and is the material used for rated lifting chain and hardware.
• Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Capacity — the rated load for this item in the use it is designed for.

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.
