Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
Fastrap

I came across a product that I'm very impressed with and wanted to share with everyone. I recently purchased a new box trailer for my mowing operation and wanted a quick and secure way to tie my machines down. Some may not be aware this is required by DOT and they've been pretty tough on us in my area.

I came across "Fastrap" , a nylon webbing strap that slides over the tires and cinches them in place. There are 2 stops that screw to the floor, these spot the tires and secure the webbing. Once the webs are placed correctly in the stops and the snap clamp, there's no need to undo them again which speeds securing and release.

To secure your machine, you just drive into the stops, slide the webbing over the tire, pull it snug and flop the snap clamp over to tighten the webbing. It takes less than 20 seconds to do both sides of the machine! Reverse the procedure to release the machine, takes the same amount of time.

I bought mine from Sportsman's Guide, they had the best price I could find on them. You need two per machine. This sytem is very economical and very effective!
