How many tie down chains or straps are required to secure a car on the bed of a rollback/car carrier?

To properly secure a car on the bed of a rollback or car carrier, a minimum of four tie-down chains or straps is required. This is essential for ensuring that the vehicle is secured safely during transport. Using four tie-downs provides a balanced and stable hold, preventing any movement of the vehicle which could be caused by vibrations or shifts during transit.

Additionally, the use of multiple tie-downs helps to distribute the load evenly, reduces the risk of damage to the vehicle being transported, and enhances safety for other road users by ensuring that the vehicle remains securely in place. This practice aligns with safety regulations and best practices in the industry, emphasizing the importance of securing loads effectively to minimize accidents and cargo damage.
