Securing a side by side

Getting a RZR in a couple weeks and bringing it home on a car transport trailer. In October(ish) I’ll be taking it with us in our toyhauler. I’ve hauled motorcycles and secured them in a variety of situations but only hauled cars on auto transport trailers using the wheel straps that came with the trailer.

How are you guys securing your side by sides in your toy hauler? What kind of straps do you like and where can I find them?

Thanks.

Not a toyhauler but I use 4 1" 1200 lbs. capacity on my Rhino on an open trailer. I have a trailer hitch on both ends so I just hook them there. Should be a few spots on your Razor to hook on to. I'm assuming you have spots on the floor of the trailer to hook onto and weren't asking about that.

Over the wheel straps. Been using them for years on open and enclosed trailers. Used on cars, trucks, utv, and atvs for literally hundreds of thousands of miles. Never an issue. Allows the unit to move on it's own suspension. Click image for larger version

I like the idea of wheel straps but just looking online, I don’t think I’ve found a product that will work with the D-rings in the floor of the garage.

I use these axle straps and like them. Just completed a 7000 mile trip, no problems. D rings on the trailer.

Looking at different forums, I found a post by a guy that had a simple solution to securing his RZR. He made a couple boxes out of 2X10 that have a couple inches clearance when placed under the frame of the RZR. He uses the tie points recommended by Polaris and puts tension on the straps to get the machine to sit on the boxes. It prevents the machine suspension from bouncing and minimally compresses the shocks.

While looking around for information, I also came across a single axle locking wheel chock.

Figure I’ll make a couple boxes, strap it down, put one of those locking wheel chocks on a tire and that thing should sit still.

When I raced that's what a lot of guys did to save the shocks but air bags instead of boxes.

Air bags sound better than wood. What kind of air bag? First thing that came to mind is that kids toy "Hippity Hop" but I'm guessing that's not what they were using.

I use the tiedowns from Costco, I think 1500#. I attach them from the deck ties in the TH in an X pattern beneath my wildcat, attaching to the A-Arms on the cat. This approach has worked for me for ten or twelve years now.

I also found a BAL 28020 single axle locking wheel chock. I had been trying to figure out a way to make something like that with a turnbuckle but somebody beat me to it. Getting one.
