Thread: Slide-on tie downs

Hi,
I was never really happy with the tie-down system that came with the Innovan, being 10mm galv hardware grade chain, they were either bar tight or slack and rattled.
I couldn't find any commercial chain tensioners that weren't industrially huge and over kill, and webbing winches just would not fit where I needed them.
So I lashed out and bought a set of torklift tiedowns, conditional on that if I wasn't happy with the fit, I could return them.





With a a shackle and 4 links of the old chain at the top going through the tiedown rail on the tray, the torklifts fit nicely under the tray, and a spring tensioner in the body of the torklift, keeps all the chains satisfactorily tight.


Yea!


Next I will replace the bits of old chain with some properly rated load chain, and I can cease being paranoid about the load shifting or sliding off.


cheers

Hi,
Tweeties was the cheapest I found on line, but I bought them locally for a tad under $180 each.
