Cargo Tie Down Straps
No matter what type of hitch-mounted carrier or trailer you have its impossible to safely and securely haul your stuff where it needs to go without a selection of cargo tie down straps. If you’ve ever lost part of your load, expensive equipment, or a child’s bicycle en route then you know just how important using straps, bungee cords and ratchet tie-downs to keep everything right where it should be.
Most hitch cargo carriers, hitch bike racks, motorcycle hitch racks and other hitch mounted units, including most trailers of any kind, feature plenty of spots where Cargo Tie Down Straps can be secured. If you are hauling something like dimensional lumber or O.S.B then using straps up and over your load, in a couple of different directions, is essential. When you’ve got bikes or a scooter onboard looping ratchet straps through tires or around frames is always a great idea.
Deals on Cargo Straps
Look for Cargo Tie Down Straps with coated hooks which won’t scratch your trailer or rust. They should also feature a ratchet function because it’s almost impossible to tie a standard cord or twine tight enough to hold the load without loosening. The ratchet gives you the opportunity to tighten it exactly the way it needs to be. The strap itself should be a tight, strong weave with a high weight rating. Push-button releases are easy to use, but latch models can work very well, too. For small items bungees can be helpful as well.
There are many top brands in the Cargo Tie Down Straps market. They include Bestop, Truxedo, USA Progrip, Crawford-Lehigh, Wilmar, Grip-tite, Core Easy and many more. Prices begin under $10 and professional Cargo Tie Down Straps when sold in a set can cost up to $99 or more.
