Erickson Motorcycle Straps & Accessories

When it comes to safe motorcycle loading and transporting, proper equipment is indispensable. It may include various straps, tracks, loading ramps, etc. which help you load and reliably secure your vehicle in the bed or on the trailer. Erickson is a reputable American manufacturer of load securing equipment. Developed with utility, efficiency, and safety in mind, Erickson straps and other products are popular not only in the United States but also in Canada. Whether you need to tie, tow, or load something bulky, this company has you covered.

Although the market abounds with various straps, there are two main categories commonly used to secure a bike: ratchet and cam buckle straps. Both types are available in the company's assortment, and each one has its pros and cons. Arguably, the main advantage of Erickson ratchet straps over their cam buckle counterparts is much greater breaking strength and the ability to provide higher tension, thanks to the ratcheting mechanism requiring minimum effort on tightening. However, this very mechanism can be somewhat frustrating to use for those who have no experience or try to do the job in a hurry.

Another aspect which is surely worth your attention is the working load limit (WLL for short). It's more crucial than breaking strength, as cargo is subject to high loads caused by G-force while turning, braking, etc. Commonly, cargo weight should not exceed a combined WLL, given that you are likely to need at least a couple of straps. Erickson is a member of the Web Sling and Tie-Down Association, and its straps meet or exceed corresponding DOT regulations and are offered with WLL indication. Besides, all Erickson tie-downs and recovery straps feature extremely strong and durable webbing. All of them can be found in our store, along with wheel chocks, E- or O-tracks, and other equipment allowing you to transport your motorcycle safely.
