How to Secure a Vehicle on a Trailer (Step-by-Step)

Follow these steps to prevent movement, protect your vehicle, and tow safely.

Strap Smaller Cars Through the Wheel

This is the easiest and cleanest method for most small and medium cars. It keeps the vehicle stable without stressing the chassis.

Strap Bigger Trucks Through the Axles

For heavier pickups and full-size SUVs, strap through the axles. This method handles the load safely and prevents shifting during transport.

Tighten & Recheck All Straps

Tighten until the vehicle cannot move. Recheck tension after loading, as straps may settle once on the trailer.

Choose the Right Tie-Downs

Use high-quality axle straps or chains/binders rated for your vehicle’s weight. Proper tie-downs make setup easy and reduce setup errors.
