Review of the Erickson 09160 Wheel Chock Tie-Down KitI recently purchased the Erickson 09160 Wheel Chock Tie-Down Kit, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations!Design and Quality: The kit comes with sturdy wheel chocks that are designed to keep my vehicle securely in place. The durable construction ensures they can withstand heavy loads, which gives me peace of mind during transport. The bright color also makes them easy to spot, even in low light conditions.Ease of Use: Setting up the tie-downs was straightforward. The kit includes everything you need, and the instructions are clear. I appreciate the versatility of the tie-downs; they fit a variety of vehicles, making it a great investment for anyone who needs to secure trailers, boats, or even ATVs.Performance: I’ve used the kit multiple times now, and it has performed flawlessly. The chocks hold the wheels securely in place, preventing any movement during transit. I’ve taken my trailer on some bumpy roads, and I was impressed with how well everything stayed in position.Value for Money: Considering the quality and effectiveness of the kit, I believe it offers great value for the price. It’s a small investment for the added safety and security it provides.Overall: If you’re looking for a reliable wheel chock tie-down kit, I highly recommend the Erickson 09160. It’s well-built, easy to use, and ensures that your vehicles stay safe and secure during transport. A must-have for anyone who frequently tows!

Great kit for the price, however... They do NOT include mounting hardware. I wanted to use stainless hardware to mount these to my trailer. Do not buy the stainless hardware from lowes unless you want to spend $40 per set. That's right, stainless hardware ran me more than the price of these fine tie down kits. Buy that hardware online at Amazon of course (I used 1/4 inch stainless bolts, washers, and nylock nuts) or rural King/tractor supply.The kit itself was great! I bought 2 sets to tie down each wheel of my rzr900. Put the rzr/atv on the trailer, the mark your holes. Don't forget to look under that trailer so you don't drill into places you can't put a nut.I was traveling 35mph when 2 small unattended children walked off the sidewalk right in front of my SUV without even looking. Full panic stop while the kids froze in front of me. Came within a car length of a very sad day. Pulled over to collect myself and check the rzr/trailer/suv for damage fully expecting these cleats to have come ripping loose. 1200 lb plus fluids n fuel on that rzr and it didn't move an inch. Ratchet straps were in perfect shape.Can't recommend these enough. I tested them more than I ever wished to...update: Trailer stored outside, no rust at all on the yellow cleats. I did have one strap pop out of the etrack slot while driving. I now give each end a tug each direction before tightening to the RZR tires to make sure they are secure. Finding an exact replacement for the damaged strap was a problem. I purchased an Erickson 59136 strap and cut it down adding a foot extra in case of adding larger tires in the future.Update2 aug 2019: larger trailer, installed a new set of 4. Couple install tips now that I've done this a few times..On a wood deck, try to install the wheel chocks on 2 separate boards. Have the chocks straddle 2 pieces of wood. This tip not only gives a more solid mount as your closer to the center of the board, but ALSO no single point of failure if you have a random knot or weak board. I have gone a bit further because of the incident above and use 1/8" aluminum plate under my trailer as a backing. This makes a sandwich of the boards delaying any weakness from rot over time.Tip 2; each wheel chock is just a little different. If you lay out your chocks on the trailer and mark them with each chock going in that exact spot. DO not use one chock to mark all of your holes. They will not match the holes of different chocks. I have made this mistake only to realize after I drilled all the holes the other chalks won't line up :(..Update3: I have tried a few alternatives for UTV tie-downs on a new trailer with rails. Using 5' etrac sections and over-the-tire web style tie down, thinking this would save time. it's not cost-effective and it's simply not faster. I believe this Erickson kit is still the way to go.I have tried no-name replacement ratchet e-trac straps of similar color and spec for this kit. They corroded pretty quickly for some reason.I believe Erickson straps are a touch longer than before with this kit. Early kits would maybe do a 29" tire, now my new UTV has 29" tires with plenty of strap left to go larger.

Yes you will need to buy $30 of nuts and bolts to install these, but once you’ve got that done, it is easy and convenient to load up whatever it is you have and secure it at a non-sprung point. I bought four and use them to secure a zero turn mower.

***UPDATE**** I have used these for 2 years now and they work just as good as they did on Day 1. I keep the cranks lubed because they can get caked in mud while en route home with muddy atv’s. As long as they are lubed, they work perfect.These tie-downs proved their worth on their first trip out! I bought these to use for transporting my 4-wheelers. Regular tie down straps work but these seemed like an easier, faster solution.I bolted them to my trailer, loaded up two Polaris 1000’s, plus another 1000 in the bed of my pickup, and headed to the ATV park. We pulled out onto the 4 lane and got up to about 60mph when a dog ran out in front of me. I hit the brakes and had to jerk the truck to the right, barely missing the dog. The trailer started going sideways so I went with it, going off the road to keep from jack-knifing. I powered out of it and managed to get back on the highway without hitting anything or damaging the truck or the trailer. I pulled over to check the 4-wheelers. They hadn’t moved at all! I should add that I did use an additional tie down on each one so they were “three pointed”.I can’t comment on their endurance yet but right out of the box, they’re amazing. Easy to install and a piece of cake to use.

Work great

After using tie down straps attached to various bits and having them come loose I was frustrated. Saw these being used by a fellow club member who raved about them. Ordering was easy, delivery was bang on time. Installation was annoying as bolt holes and frame members were in the same place in four spots so had to go back and get carriage bolts . start to finish including the extra hardware store trip was about three hours.HOWEVER. It was well worth the effort. These work perfectly, easy to attach and no more loose straps and bouncing quad.

Huge like!!!...easy to install....top notch product...well made...robust...perfect for the application required.

Una vez instalado es muy práctico de usar y los vehículos no pierden estabilidad ni se aflojan con el movimiento.

These things are great! So much easier and more secure than straps alone on frame. We get the floor part full of mud and pebbles cause they are used for our side by side machines. A quick spray and the straps click in like new again. Keep the straps oiled and they will ratchet perfectly for years. I grabbed another set from warehouse sale for our other trailer just incase we use it for the machines.
