See what our Experts say about this Erickson Ratchet Straps

• Availability of Bike Rack with Ramp to Carry 75 lb E-Bike
  The bike rack with the highest weight capacity that has a ramp that can be utilized is the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 but it can only handle up to 65 lb E-Bikes and I'm not sure if you'd be able to get your bike down that low. We do have the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR which would be able to carry your 75 lb E-Bike but this doesn't have a ramp so you'd have to muscle the bike up to the bike rack. Because of this, the best option for your application is to use a motorcycle...

• Recommended Hitch Mounted Carrier For Vespa Scooter To Carry Behind 2015 Ford Edge
  We have a couple carriers that will work for your 2015 Edge and your wife's Vespa. You mentioned the weight of the Vespa at 245-lbs. Is that the weight of the scooter when it is full of fuel or with the battery included? You will want to make sure you do not exceed the capacity of the carrier or the trailer hitch on your Edge. Since the motor on the Vespa is located right in front of the rear wheel, you want to make sure you place the scooter in the carrier so that the weight is evenly...

• E Track Placement Recommendation for Motorcycle Trailer
  Basically you'll have to mock up where you want the motorcycle to be and where the best place will be for the e-track as there isn't a set place to install the tracks in every trailer. Typically you want the tie down anchors to be about 36 inches apart from each other to get the best angle for them to pull down. For tie down anchors that fit in the e-track slots we have the part # 59131 which would fit and work well. Then for a set of ratchet straps the Erickson kit part # EM31353 would...

• Cargo Carrier Compatibility With Small Honda Ruckus Scooter
  Your Honda Ruckus has a wet weight of 194 lbs., so you can use it with many cargo carrier options like the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18152. You will just need to make sure that your towing vehicle and hitch receiver rated tongue weights are able to support the weight of the scooter along with the 64 lb carrier. If this is all you will be using the carrier for, you may be interested in the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs # e98873...

• Scooter Carrier Option for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  As long as the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the spare tire on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited is less than 15-1/2" then the Ultra-Fab Carrier part # UF48-979033 will work well for you as a way to carry your scooter. If you do not have any ratcheting tie-downs to use with this carrier then I recommend the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps part # EM31353.

• Ramped Hitch Cargo Carrier for Weber Grill Less Than 500-lbs
  We have ramped cargo carriers for 2-inch hitches that are displayed on the linked page. Pro Series carrier # PS10401-10402 has inside dimensions, the actual usable platform space, of 47-3/4 long x 31-3/4 wide and it has a 400-lb weight rating. The carrier itself weighs 105-lbs. To safely use this carrier near its maximum capacity you will need to install it in a hitch that is rated for 500-lbs, since the carrier itself will use up 105-lbs of the hitch's own weight capacity. I included...

• Front Mounted Receiver Hitch Recommended for 2020 Ram 3500 Truck
  We do offer a front mounted receiver for your 2020 Ram 3500, part # DT36MR (does not work with diesel models). The hitch as a vertical pull limit of 500 lbs, which means that as long as the dirt bike and its carrier doesn't weigh more than 500 lbs, it'll work just fine for you. If you don't yet have a carrier, I'd recommend the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033 which can handle bikes weighing up to 500 lbs with tires up to 5 inches wide. Ratchet straps like # EM31353 would work well to secure the...

• Hitch and Motorcycle Carrier for 2018 Subaru Forester
  I recommend a 2-inch Class III hitch for your 2018 Forester since this size offers both higher weight capacity and broader compatibility with accessories like bike racks. The one I suggest is the Draw-Tite # 75876 because it offers relatively simple no-drill installation and you can see the whole install process in the video I linked for you. For a dirt bike carrier I recommend the etrailer # e98873. You can see this item in the linked video. The carrier has a 500-lb load rating and it...

• Recommendation to Transport Honda PCX150 Scooter with 2013 Ford Edge
  Based on my research, your Honda PCX150 Scooter has a weight of just under 300 pounds with a full tank of fuel. The etrailer Ultra-Fab Carrier # UF48-979033 referenced in your question is a great option for transporting scooters or small motorcycles, however the weight of the carrier itself is 50 pounds. This combined with your scooter will will be right at the capacity of your Ford Edge which is okay, but you cannot exceed that limit. A total of 351 is not okay. When looking at the...

• Recommended Carrier for a 110 lb Stealth Bomber B2 Electric Bike
  Since your electric bike weighs in at 110 lbs you are actually going to need to use a motorcycle carrier for it as the most a standard bike rack can handle is 80 lbs per bike. For your application I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 because it only weighs about 58 lbs and it comes with a stored ramp to help you easily load your bike. You will need to use tie-downs like the Erickson # EM31353 to secure the bike to the carrier. I also recommend using a locking hitch pin...

• Best Carrier for a Kymco People 150 Scooter
  I did some research on your Kymco People 150 and it appears that the best carrier we have for this is the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier part # e98873. This carrier is lightweight at 58 lbs and has a ramp for easy loading. In order to then secure the scooter to the carrier I recommend the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps part # EM31353 as the carrier has integrated tie-down loops for use with these types of ratchet straps. The carrier also has a 500 lb weight capacity with a 2" shank. However,...

• What Generator Carrier do You Recommend for My 2021 Forest River Columbus Fifth-Wheel?
  I have a solution for you to transport your generator. I reached out to my contact at Mount-N-Lock, and he confirmed that the bumper's receded mounting point of 6 inches from the end of the trailer will not allow you to install the GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # MNT34FR. This is because it will most likely interfere with the railing on the platform. With that being said, the best bet is to use your hitch. Since all hitch-mounted generator carriers do not have the...

• Straps to Use with etrailer Carrier # e98873 to Transport Yamaha TW200
  We had a customer who used the etrailer motorcycle carrier part # e98873 that you referenced to carry a TW200 and they used ratchet straps form a bracket on the fork tubes to the anchor points. I really like the idea of the tire-pad-strap you sent a picture of but we don't carry anything like that. If it were me though I'd go with the tried and true method of attaching tie downs to the handlebars of the bike like with the # EM31353. I grew up with motorcycles and we always used this method...

• Ratchet Strap Recommendation for Securing Honda Rubicon to Utility Trailer
  For ratchet straps the Erickson Tie-Downs part # EM31353 would work well as long as you can find a better place to attach them to your ATV. Avoiding the sharp corner that is tearing your old straps would be highly recommended. Without seeing pictures of the setup it's hard to say where exactly you would want the straps to attach to. But you would want to avoid having the straps touch anything sharp.

• What is the Weight of the MaxxHaul Motorcycle Carrier for 2-inch Hitches?
  The MaxxTow MaxxHaul Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches will weigh just under 50 pounds. I did some research on your Long Stride and found a few different models. As long the length of the bike is less than 79 inches, you are good to go. If you need fastening straps to secure your ElliptiGO onto the MaxxHaul carrier, I recommend the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ Web Clamps and S-Hooks # EM31353. The Erickson straps are effective because they are made with zinc-plated steel...

• Recommended Motorcycle Carrier for a Yamaha Zuma on a 2017 Pleasure-Way ProMaster Lexor
  You will not need to use an RV approved carrier on your 2017 Pleasure-Way ProMaster Lexor. The RV approved carriers are needed for larger RV's in which the distance from the rear axle to the trailer hitch is much longer than what is on your van. The increased spread from the axle and trailer hitch creates added stress on the carrier. Carriers that are RV approved are suited for this added stress. In order to haul your Yamaha Zuma, I recommend using the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier part...

• How to Carry a Scooter and Lift on a 2000 Honda Odyssey
  I have a recommendation for you, but unfortunately you will not be able to carry your lift and scooter on the back of your 2000 Honda Odyssey using a wheelchair carrier or cargo carrier. While the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch # 75270 can fit on your vehicle and can hold up to 675 lbs., your 2000 Honda Odyssey cannot. Unfortunately, your Honda Odyssey has a Tongue Weight capacity of about 200 lbs. This means you can install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75270, however, you will not be able...

• Recommended Motorcycle Carrier for 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  For your 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75139 for a trailer hitch receiver to get you started. Then I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs # e98873 to carry your dirt bike. This carrier has a weight of 58 lbs with a weight capacity of 500 lbs ensuring your trailer hitch receiver is within its limits. I also recommend the # EM31353 tie downs along with the Soft Loops # 06303.

• Can Classic Accessories Snowmobile Cover Be Used on the Highway
  The Classic Accessories Snowmobile Cover - Large by SledGear # 052963715378 does a great job for storage applications but it wasn't designed to handle the high winds you'll face on a highway so I definitely don't recommend using it in that fashion. For your application I recommend using more of a traditional covering like the 10' x 14' Erickson Heavy-Duty Silver Tarp # EM57022. This is designed to help protect cargo in trailers so it can take a beating from the wind on the highway as well...

  The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 that fits your 2016 Toyota Tundra has a vertical load limit (the front mount hitch version of tongue weight) of 500 lbs; you can use this hitch and tow your trailer at the same time so long as your weights stay within their respective capacities. To haul your bike I recommend checking out the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873. The carrier weighs 58 lbs and has a 500 lb capacity; your bike will fit so long as it has tires which are less...

• Tow Dolly and Scooter Carrier for 2014 Chevy Volt and Vespa Scooter
  I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2014 Chevy Volt and it is able to be towed via dolly so what I highly recommend for a dolly is the Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame # DM9713046 or Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable # DM9713045 because of how much easier they are to use than other dollies. The Kar Kaddy 3 tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. These dollies also have a...

• Comparing etrailer and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carriers for a Yamaha TW200
  Both the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # MT70101 and the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 that you referenced are excellent options to use for carrying your Yamaha TW200 with your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I think in the picture you mentioned that the customer just had the TW200 propped up against the back of their truck because the bolts would need to be adjusted so that the tire fits between them (whereas in the picture the tire isn't really in the middle of the bolts). I personally...
