Product Information

Full details

Professional truck, trailer, flatbed, and auto hauler operators choose Vulcan automobile tie-down systems for reliable vehicle transport. The key benefit is secure, scratch-free fastening around axles or through rims, especially in low-clearance situations. A potential caveat is that these are specialized axle straps and may not be suitable for all types of cargo securing needs. This 4-pack of yellow, 2" x 9.5 foot axle tie-back ratchet straps offers durability with a 1-ply webbing and Cordura wear pad, a 3,300 lbs safe working load, and easy attachment via heavy-duty snap hooks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the safe working load (SWL) of one strap?

Each Vulcan Axle Tie Down Strap has a safe working load of 3,300 lbs.

What is the length of each strap?

Each strap measures 2 inches wide and 9.5 feet (114 inches) long.

Can these straps be used for general cargo, not just vehicles?

While durable, these straps are specifically designed for axle and wheel tie-downs on vehicles. For general cargo, other types of tie-downs might be more suitable depending on the load's shape and securing points.

How do I clean the straps?

Clean the straps using a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storage. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

What does the Cordura wear pad do?

The Cordura wear pad increases the strap's resistance to abrasion and friction, prolonging its lifespan and protecting the vehicle's rims or underbody from scratches during the tie-down process.

Are these straps compliant with transportation regulations?

Yes, these straps meet DOT (Department of Transportation) and CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) specifications.

What is the main advantage of using axle tie-down straps?

Axle tie-down straps are particularly useful for low-clearance vehicles or situations where traditional frame tie-downs are difficult to access, providing a secure and often gentler way to secure vehicles by their axles or through the wheels.

Troubleshooting

Strap not tightening securely

Ensure the strap is not twisted. Check that the ratchet mechanism is functioning correctly and that the anchor points are stable and secure.

Snap hook difficult to attach

Verify that the D-ring or anchor point is not obstructed and is the appropriate size for the snap hook. Ensure the hook is not bent or damaged.

Webbing appears frayed or damaged

Immediately discontinue use of the strap. Damaged webbing compromises safety and must be replaced. Inspect for cuts, abrasions, or excessive wear.

Strap leaves marks on the rim

Ensure the Cordura wear pad is positioned correctly to protect the rim. If the marking persists, consider using a protective sleeve or alternative tie-down method if scratching is a critical concern.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Requires a ratchet mechanism (sold separately or part of a system) for tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Loop the heavy-duty snap hook around the vehicle's axle or through the wheel rim.
Thread the strap back through itself to create a secure loop around the axle or rim.
Attach the free end of the strap to a suitable anchor point (e.g., a D-ring) on your trailer or truck bed.
Use a ratchet or other tensioning device to tighten the strap to secure the load. Ensure the strap is not twisted.

Compatibility:

Designed for use with vehicles, particularly in low-clearance applications.
Requires compatible anchor points such as D-rings, stake pockets, or other heavy-duty tie-down points on trailers and trucks.
Suitable for securing axles, control arms, or through wheel rims.

Care:

Inspect straps before each use for cuts, abrasions, fraying, or damage to stitching and hardware.
Clean straps with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the webbing.
Store straps in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
Ensure straps are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
