Note: Tie-down straps must be chosen according to their safe working load limit (WLL). The weight of the secured cargo must not exceed the combined WLL of the straps being used. For example, if you are using straps with a WLL of 500 lbs each to tie down a load weighing 1,000 lbs, then you need at least 2 straps to safely secure that load. It is recommended that you always use straps in pairs.
This one-of-a-kind tie-down kit is perfect for strapping down your UTV to your truck bed or trailer. It includes 4 cam straps with built-in shocks to keep the straps tight around your UTV so that you won't have to stop and tighten them while traveling.
Unlike traditional straps, which don't stretch or contract, these tie-downs are uniquely designed with built-in shock absorbers that allow each strap to maintain constant tension on your bike as you travel. These are great for UTVs, which have bouncing suspension systems that can compress and rebound when you travel rough terrain.
The webbing of standard straps can't stretch or contract to absorb impacts. As a result, standard tie-downs might become detached from their anchor, or they become slack around your UTV as it shifts.
But these ratcheting straps each feature a built-in urethane shock that's designed to absorb impact and to allow give. This ensures that the tie-down stays taut and won't loosen over time. The built-in shock helps to keep the tie-down from coming loose or failing, which could result in lost or damaged toys.
In addition, the shocks ensure a longer life for the strap webbing. The constant compressing and rebounding of your UTV's suspension during travel can wreak havoc on ordinary straps. The webbing is likely to experience more wear and tear as it rubs along your gear. But the ShockStrap's shocks absorb these jolts so that the webbing of the tie-downs stays put instead of wearing over the edges of your equipment.
Once your UTV is loaded in your truck or on your trailer, engage its parking brake. Next, you'll want to scope out 4 anchor points on the UTV, preferably on its frame.
Attaching the tie-downs to the frame is ideal. The tension from the straps on this part of the vehicle will compress the UTV's suspension just enough (about halfway) to maintain tension when you hit bumps on the road. The tension should prevent sway and bouncing, which could otherwise loosen the straps or allow them to become detached from their anchor points.
There are 4 straps included in this kit - 2 for use on the front of your UTV and 2 for use on the rear. When you attach the tie-down straps to your truck or trailer, be sure to anchor them so that the UTV is pulled down at all 4 corners.
To use these tie-downs, attach one of the durable hooks to a desired anchor point on your truck or trailer. Use the built-in retention clip to make sure that the hook doesn't detach from the anchor. Then secure the other hook to a point on the UTV.
There are soft loops built into each strap as well, so that you can tie down your UTV without having to worry about the metal hooks or hardware of the straps potentially scratching or scuffing it. To use the soft loops, simply cinch the strap around a secure location on the UTV, and run the tie-down's hook through the loop.
Once the hooks are in place, tighten the webbing around the load and activate the shocks. To tighten each strap, crank the ratchet mechanism until the webbing is taut around your UTV. Be sure not to overtighten the strap. If your hand cannot fit between the shock and the safety strap, the strap is too tight.
To activate the shocks, tighten the straps a bit more, stretching the shocks until light is visible through the bolt holes in each shock. In warm climates, the shocks can stretch up to 2", while in subzero climates you may only get about 1/2" of give.
Once the straps have been tightened and the shocks have been activated, just make sure your UTV is completely secure and then tie off any extra slack.
The sturdy, UV-resistant polyester webbing of these tie-down straps has a high tolerance for abrasion and water absorption.
The shocks are made of urethane, which can withstand elements such as sunlight, saltwater, moisture, oil, fungi, and most chemicals. These shocks can function in nearly any temperature, holding up to hot and cold weather conditions without losing elasticity or becoming unyielding or brittle over time.
The rust-resistant, yellow zinc chromate coating on the ratchet and hardware holds up to the varying weather conditions.
A safety strap is also built into each tie-down to provide peace of mind should something happen to the shock. This safety strap ensures that if the tie-downs are used improperly, overloaded, or unduly stretched, your UTV will remain secured.

I love these straps! They don't come loose and hold the SXS really well. Much better than standard straps! Standard straps would come loose on my SXS, these do not. I like the length, so I'm not tying off long ends. The loops give great flexibility too. Great straps, highly recommended and would buy again. My only question/concern is how long the "rubber" shock part will last. Don't know if over time it will crack or sun will harm, etc. But other than that they are great.
Dan - 06/03/2022I trailer my golding trike from MN to AZ or TX every winter. Other tie downs tended to loosen up during the trip allowing my bike to move around. These shock straps ABSOLUTELY stay tight and hold during the 1200 or 1500 mile trips! TOTALLY recommend to all!!
Although these straps are on the more expensive side of things, I’m glad I made the investment. The shock absorbers on each of the straps works great and keeps my RZR from bouncing, as well as not having to retighten them. I highly recommend these!
These straps are great. The are strong and allow for some movement of the motorcycles without have the straps break or come loose. The Harley was transported to Las Vegas and back, 2500 miles with no issues.
These tie downs have been excellent. Use them to tie down our ATV, and our zero turning radius mower without any issues whatsoever. Used the tie downs frequently over the summer/fall months with confidence over very hilly terrain. Keep them clean or clean up if you get them dirty, then store where not exposed to the elements and should last for years.
Kelymike F - 01/05/2022Stunning. Ultra thick nylon straps, quality ratchet. The rubber cushion works exactly as advertised, I don’t have to tighten them nearly as much as regular straps. Bike seems to float on the back of my truck. Well done, truly
Great ideas but not well executed. The loose nylon ends have frayed quickly. The S hooks metal keepers broke off on first use.
I wanted a specific size of this type of tie-down strap and could only find it on etrailer.com. ordered and received it in just a few days.
Great straps. Bery strong and I like the shock. I think customers that do a lot of shopping with etrailer should be given a discount on their next purchase!
Jerry D - 10/18/2021 Jerry D - 10/18/2021Loved these straps. Kept UTV more stable on trailer with no need (for first time ever) to retighten straps during our trip.
Joseph - 10/01/2021I used have used these twice since receiving them recently and they work great! Easy to install and they have kept my UTV very stable while trailering.
Heavy duty straps straped my utv down made a 2 hour trip they stayed tight just like they advertise had good promt service with etrailer they are more expensive than some other straps but very much worth it
These ShockStraps are whey better than anything you can buy from the hardware store. Much more heavy duty, and the constant tension balances out any shifting that your cargo may do on the trailer.
Excellent customer service. Very fast shipping, ordered 8 straps but only got 7. No big deal it happens. Called customer service and they sent me another right away! the shock straps are amazing, its nice going into trails that have ruff roads and not have to worry about regular ratchet straps loosening up!
Great product! Held tight for our 800 mile trip.
These are truly game changers on a long trip! They worked great!!!! Best Tie Downs Ever!!
Kathryn - 10/02/2021Working very well for me, very durable and would recommend!
I have had a chance to use the tie downs on two round trips to deer woods towing our Honda Pioneer 1000-5. They worked flawlessly, the straps I used before would come loose on occasion when crossing bridges with a sharp dip. I highly recommend these tie down straps.
Very nice strap. I have used them several times. The bungie part of the strap is nice and hefty.
Works as advertised
Excellent straps! Bought a set of 4 last year and have used them to secure my RZR on several trips over 1000 miles. Straps are very high quality and have held up great. And not once did they need to be adjusted even on the longest trips. And the loops on the ends of the straps make it really easy to secure the load. I have recommended a set to all the UTV/ATV owners I know.
Awesome product, performs better than I expected. Super strong and built well. Well worth the money invested.
This is the best tiedown strap I have ever used. I originally purchased 4 and was so impressed with them that I bought 4 more and cleaned out all those old straps that we all keep around. What ever you use them on doesn't move .
Heavy Duty and just what I was looking for!
I can honestly say i have bought THOUSANDS of items online, etrailer is THE BEST i have ever experienced with direct service, follow up, and keeping me up to date on my items. i am blown away by the personal attention my small order got from real people..unbelievable. The straps are nice too
