Secure, Versatile, and Professional Auto Transport Solutions
When transporting vehicles—whether for commercial towing, car shows, or personal use—car tie down straps are essential tools for safe, reliable, and professional hauling. At Mega Cargo Control, we offer a full line of side mounting car carrier straps, wheel nets, over-the-tire straps, Tow Dolly Basket Straps, and 8-point tie-down kits. These products are designed to secure cars, trucks, SUVs, and UTVs efficiently while protecting the suspension, tires, and frame during transit.
Choosing the right tie-down system depends on your trailer type, vehicle size, and haul frequency. This guide will explain the key options and help you select the best solution for your operations.
AUTO TRANSPORT
What Are Auto Tie Downs?
Auto tie downs are heavy-duty straps engineered specifically for vehicle transport. Unlike standard ratchet straps, they are constructed from industrial-grade polyester webbing, feature protective sleeves, and include specialized end fittings for secure attachment to axles, tires, or chassis points.
Benefits of specialized auto tie downs:
01
Reduce vehicle movement during transport
02
Minimize frame and suspension stress
03
Prevent damage to paint, tires, or wheels
04
Compatible with trailers, tow dollies, and flatbeds
SIDE MOUNT
Side Mount Wheel Net Straps
Side Mount Wheel Net Straps are over-the-wheel tie-down systems designed to secure vehicles via the tires rather than the chassis. This method reduces suspension stress and provides high stability, especially for enclosed trailers or sensitive vehicles.
Key Benefits:
- Cradles the tire for over-the-wheel security
- Adjustable for various tire sizes
- End fittings compatible with D-rings, trailer anchors, or chain extensions
- Reduces suspension bounce during transport
Best Use Cases:
Enclosed trailer hauling
High-value or luxury vehicles
Tow dollies or rollback trucks
Car hauler fleet operations
