Rather than running pricey ratchet straps around the axlehousing when securing your four-wheeler on a trailer, use axle straps such as this one from Mac's. It uses 12,000-pound webbing and has a thick Cordura protective sleeve that helps against abrasion. An alternative is to use short pieces of good-quality chain to wrap around the axles. What not to do is to run a single strap from the trailer, around the axle, and then back to the trailer. Aside from being an illegal method of tying down your vehicle in some states, if anything on that one strap lets go, there will be nothing left to keep your load from crunching into your tow vehicle at a sudden stop-or falling off the back of the trailer, should the front strap fail. Two separate straps at each end is the way to go. View Related Article
