What Are Over Wheel Ratchet Straps & How Do They Work?

Over wheel ratchet straps secure vehicles by fastening over the tires instead of the frame or axle.

Unlike traditional axle or frame straps, they prevent suspension compression and ensure a more stable hold.

Benefits:

Keeps vehicle suspension free
Reduces stress on the frame and chassis
Provides a secure and balanced grip
