reb78 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Can anyone recommend some decent but reasonably priced car trailer straps? A place near me sells them for £24 each, so would be £100 all in for all four wheels - i have no idea if thats a good price or not?? I have four decent heavy duty ratchet straps though, so can I just buy the part that goes around the tyre anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLineMike Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 this is a company local to me who I have used for various straps in the past, http://www.arinsdale.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zardos Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Can just buy the wheel bracing bar many on ebayhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Recovery-Alloy-Wheel-Securing-Link-Straps-Trailer-Transporter-x-4-Yellow-Purple/151435048831 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/451869-Merry-Recovery-Ratchet-Car-Alloy-Wheel-Protection-Straps/1271210159 Just make sure your existing straps are long enough (4m straps were a bit short especially on 35 inch plus tyres, 5m was better on a standard ifor trailer) Ebay has lots of cheap recovery straps set.

Gazzar Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 There's an outfit I get straps from. Damar webbing, very good. They build to your spec, and are good value. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks all. Zardos, they are just what i am after - for some reason i didnt find them when i searched before! The Damar set are what i will go for then (once i have checked the length of the straps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Make sure they're tagged. A lot of eBay stuff isn't and can cause some serious problems.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've had a few lifting straps from these guys who also do the wheel choker straps. https://www.theratchetshop.com/ratchet-straps/vehicle-recovery-sets/wheel-choker.html Their choker straps are just a short lifting strap with an anti abrasion sleeve over it, so they're all rated and tagged. As a side note, I much prefer the soft type, not the ones with a metal eye at each end as it means you're not going to damage alloys if you're moving a car.

muddy Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Another vote for the ratchet shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 bought from ratchet shop recently, good properly rated kit, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thanks for all of the advice here. The entire strap set from the ratchet shop wasn't massively more than four chokers so I went for a full set of new straps to be on the safe side. My straps look good, but they were inherited so I don't really know the history and I don't want a car coming off of a trailer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
