How to Load a Car Hauler
A car hauler is a good thing to have around. It is good to have in case of emergency and it is a good way to make a little bit of extra money. One thing about vehicles is that they always have a chance of breaking down. With the help of a car hauler, a broken down vehicle will always have a way home.
- Attach the car hauler to the vehicle that will be towing the car hauler by putting the car hauler's trailer tongue onto the towing vehicle's hitch. When it is safely secured to the towing vehicle's hitch, attach the safety chains as well for extra precautions.
- Pull down the ramps if there are any attached to the car hauler. If not, lay down a different set of ramps.
- Drive the problem car onto the car hauler if possible. If not, push or use a winch to get the car up the ramps and onto the car hauler. Ensure the car is in park and set the emergency brake on the car.
- Strap down the loaded car to the car hauler. The best straps to use are industrial strength ratchet straps as they tighten very tight and are very heavy duty.
- Test all of the brake lights and turn on the signals on the car hauler before leaving. Also check all of the towing vehicle's brake lights and turn signals as they are just as important as the car hauler. It also would not hurt to check the tire pressure on both the car hauler and the towing vehicle by using a tire gauge.
