Shock therapy made a great video on how to tie down your machine. The biggest take away is to tie it down closes to the knuckles since that doesn’t move. Anywhere that the machine moves it’s going to get loose. The only better option is the Erickson track system, which you tie the machine down from the tires.
I bought Speed Straps.
Rhino USA wheel chock system. Lifetime guarantee
Made in china garbage. I remember my first straps too
The best way to secure your quad is by the tires. RV haulers always do it by the tires and let the suspension move freely.
just picked up a 10x6 Polaris Ranger Atv trailer yesterday for my atv and i have a cheap pair of straps i picked up last year, not really knowing what to look for as im new to all of this. Thank you very very much for doing this review and i found a local dealer that carries the Shock straps. Getting mine tomorrow. As usual you guys rock! Cheers from Newfoundland!!!!
Needs a safety latch on the hooks.
Has one. Pay attention.
@@stephenmathews4844 on both hooks?
@@stephenmathews4844 watch the video again, no safety latches.
MACs through wheel or over wheel is the best way BY FAR to tie down. Long travel suspensions do not take well to tying the suspension down and will still move and can load the straps and tear shit up on a big enough bump, the car still moves some too. Tie down by the wheels of tires and the straps never get loose and the machine never moves. I tow 10s of 1000s a year and I have to buy the best and am not given sponsors stuff to hype.
Ridiculous price for Shock Strap! As ,mentioned below, all tie downs should be below the suspension!
Personally I prefer endless ratchet straps with no hooks. Strap runs around the anchor point on the machine, around the hook point to the trailer and back to the ratchet. No hooks to possibly come undone, no need for soft straps, and 2 runs of strap are handing the load.
Love it. Never heard of them. Will look them up now
Love the Shock Strap kudos to the guy that invented them. I've ordered 8 of them and they're holding strong. Thanks for review.
If you need to buy straps like this to prevent whatever you’re towing from getting loose, you probably shouldn’t be towing anything lol. Strap around the tires or as close as possible to the wheel and you’ll be good. Suspension can cycle all it wants and it won’t matter.
I have never ever had a problem with my regular ratchet straps. And I’ve used them for as long as I can remember.
Oh well um lol
Uh, okay? What is your point?
@@wrsawy His point is you dont need to spend a lot of money on these straps when cheaper ones will work just as good dipshit 🙄
solid lookin straps !
I came to this video for how is the best way to tie down my rzr not a commercial for a brand of strap
Texas Made, these are definitely NOT the best way to tie down your RZR. Check out Shock Therapy’s video on how to tie down your UTV for some excellent advice.
Good vid
Make one on sportsman 570
Using any strap without safety clasps on the hooks is useless....
Can we see more retro reviews
I've seen this type before I've have some of my straps come off or even break going up Interstate 49N on several occasions
Stop tying down to the part of the load that moves up and down and get the proper angles.
Or buy a enclosed trailer
Still have to tie it down.
Sheldon Goff buddy i pull mine in and park it, if shit gets crazy enuff to move a 800 pound plus atv enuff to damage it,i have full covetage insurance cause a dam strap aint gonna make a difference!
@@flynhi39 Until you get in a wreck while towing. Believe me, when your vehicle comes to a sudden stop at 60 mph and your quad is still moving at 60 mph inside the trailer (not tied down), it's going to blast through the side of your trailer like a cannonball. And your insurance won't do a damn thing when that flying quad hits someone or their vehicle, because you will be cited for failure to properly secure your load. An enclosed trailer has nothing to do with it. I have a buddy who got T-boned at an intersection, and the 3 quads in his trailer all became 800 lb missles. Better re-think your strategy!
Wouldn't strapping over the tire work best? How are race cars secured on trailers? When semi's transport cars? Nice straps for conventional tie down method, sure beats using your winch! LOL
Brent Bertram I've those type straps and they may ok for smaller tires but the straps I have do not go over my big 30" tires and I just bought 32" tires. Maybe I'm not using them right
You are correct. Securing by ANYTHING that has the potential for travel is incorrect. Never tie down via chassis. Tie town by tires, hubs, or suspension location closest to the wheel hub. These straps are a band aid trying to compensate for what is an incorrect method to begin with.
Stacy Reid if your straps have the EZ-track type ends, you can get much longer straps and cut off the excess.
Ya 2 of them straps. 174.00. Luke. Very very nice. I have been telling guys. They all seem to think all other straps are just great.. I just put inertub. Bettween the straps.lol..
Bro $8.99 4” Weber tie straps . 20’ long . Home Depot .
Question?. Is my XMR 1000 outlander. Have a glass batter. Do i maintain it on 6v or 12v?. Thank u DT
Sorry luke i went and checked out straps. I really like them. Finally something that stays tight. When u tighting strap. They stay tigh. How come i never thought of that. 174.00 is way to much for to. And there 39.99.
I wish they had auto ratcheting...
Install wheel claws on your trailer and you don't have to worry ever again.
Can someone please tell me what the polaris ranger 900 gets for gas mileage. I bought a 2018 ranger 900xp eps It seems like i get under 10mpg but I know that can't be right.
Depends on how you drive it; when you drive it; where you drive it; how its geared; how much weigh is in it; even how humid it is outside; type of gas; tire size and weight; 2wd vs 4wd, etc
My 2013 900 s gets 10 to 12 mpg.
4:06 strap attached to upper A arm, completely Negating the suspension aspect for the reason for the "shock" strap! Over priced trash...
Danimal_C I was going to write a comment on this but was checking the other comments. I don’t know of any suspension company that would call theirs a giant no-no. My experience comes from the Jeep truck side but I do own a SXS and know of 2 people personally who have bent an A-arm and the other person did an equal goof up and attached to the sway bar out by the link. He broke it!
In case anyone wants to know these are 40 bucks each strap
I don't strap my side by side down. If it falls the roll cage should take the hit they are designed to roll.
Uhhhhhm...
Jacob Rosemurgy You're a moron.
@@michaelipock3041 Hey lpok he was joking you dumb a--
@@cq7562 but was he?
Luke hitting the gym? Haha
Never use these type of open hook straps !
Amazon has 100s much cheaper than these with the safety ends that won’t unhook if the vehicle unloads the straps
Too expensive. Always have your hook pointed up. Hook to frame, tires or wheels. If that piece of rubber is what you're trusting not to break then i will not let you strap anything of mine.
Why should hooks be pointed up? Thanks in advance for response.
I don't own these, but there is a back up strap to each rubber portion.
Garbage video....close to the hub or around the tire...I'm a big fan of this channel, but not a lot of thought went into letting this sponsor in...
Wheel tiedowns only 20$ a piece on ebay take a look
You're going to trust your $30K + toy on a trailer with $20 Chinese straps ??? SMH ...

Better solution build a deck with a 2x8 board that just fits under the atv/utv then strap down till strap is tight that's how I transport two atvs on a sled deck and have never had issues.
