Tying down a car on a car trailer is a crucial step in transporting it safely and securely. It ensures that the vehicle remains stable and doesn’t shift or move during transit. Proper tie-down techniques help prevent damage to both the car and the trailer, as well as potential accidents or injuries.
Before tying down the car, make sure the trailer is level and the parking brake is engaged. Position the car on the trailer and chock the wheels to prevent it from rolling. Use high-quality tie-down straps that are specifically designed for securing vehicles on trailers. These straps typically have ratcheting mechanisms that allow for easy tightening and provide a secure hold.
