LONG SIDE MOUNT WHEEL NET (10' x 4"x 48")

A long side mount wheel net (10' x 4" x 48") is a type of vehicle tie-down strap system used to secure a car or light truck to a trailer, typically for transport.

What it does (Function)

Its main function is to hold a vehicle firmly in place by securing the tires, rather than attaching to the vehicle’s frame. This helps prevent shifting, rolling, or bouncing during transport.

How it works

• The wheel net wraps over and around the tire, creating a snug “net” that keeps the wheel anchored.
• The “side mount” design means the strap connects to anchor points on one side of the trailer, making it easier to install and tighten from one direction.
• The 10-foot length provides enough strap to fully wrap larger tires.
• The 4-inch width distributes pressure evenly across the tire, reducing wear or damage.
• The 48-inch side strap (often the side segment) helps stabilize the net laterally and connect to ratchets or anchor points.

Key benefits

• Protects the vehicle: No contact with the frame or suspension.
• Prevents movement: Keeps the wheel locked in position.
• Fits multiple tire sizes: Adjustable and flexible design.
• Quick to use: Especially with ratchet mechanisms.

Common uses

• Car haulers and flatbed trailers
• Towing companies
• Motorsport transport (race cars, show cars)
• Equipment trailers

In short, this device is designed to secure a vehicle safely by gripping the tires, ensuring stability and reducing the risk of damage during transport.
