I had to laugh when my former publisher came by with a gargantuan U-Haul trailer so that he could tow away a UTV that we had stored in the bat-infested cavern known as the Advanstar “garage.” The trailer was a behemoth, and its tiedown system simply wasn’t ideal for transporting a UTV in relative security for any great distance.

Maybe that’s what the folks at UTV Concepts were thinking when they came up with their Tire Trap Tie Down System. Created by the same sharp minds behind the True Flow brand of high-performance air filters (UTV is a sister company to True Flow), the Tire Trap is specifically engineered to reduce the hassle of securing your UTV so that it arrives at your playground du jour in one piece.

The Tire Trap will accommodate any UTV ( UTV Concepts also makes a version for the dirtbike crowd), and it for fast and safe loading of your equipment with the minimal use of ratchet straps.
To secure your UTV with the Tire Trap units, you simply drive into the wheel hoops that are easily mounted to your trailer, raise the hoops into position and secure one small ratchet strap around the tire. No need for lengthy and cumbersome tie-downs – or worse – finding places to secure them. Because this patent-pending system uses ties down the wheels and not the chassis, allows your vehicle’s suspension is allowed to work naturally during transportation.    

Tire Traps are precision-crafted from heavy-gauge steel and powder coated to ensure that the system is protected from everyday wear and tear and environmental abuse. It installs quickly and easily onto a trailer or in the bed of a pickup with no special tools or mechanical experience needed, and all the necessary hardware is included for ease of installation.

The Tire Trap system is backed by an exclusive product guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty. UTV Concepts says you’ll wonder how you ever transported your toys without The Tire Trap before. We say we’ll wonder why we didn’t think of it first!
