Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Spare Wheel Strap
$91.00
If you’re an avid camper or like to travel distances in your 4WD, you will know that a spare wheel is one of the essential items you need to bring with you. Rhino-Rack has developed a spare wheel strap to securely fasten your wheel to our range of Pioneer Trays and Platforms so you can free up the space inside your vehicle.
The unique design features two of the three straps can be incrementally adjusted so the stainless steel ring is always positioned in the centre of the wheel, offering maximum holding capacity.
The tightening ratchet and ring are made from stainless steel so it won’t corrode. The “S hooks are PE plastic coated steel and the webbing is made from polyester. For even simpler mounting, use the Rhino Eye Bolt Kit which is not included as part of the spare wheel strap.
Features:
- Easy to install
- Transport your spare wheel outside your vehicle
- Easily mounted to your Rhino-Rack Pioneer Tray and Platform
- Made from strong and durable materials
- Includes incrementally adjustable straps
- Includes tightening ratchets as well as 2 x cam buckles
Know before you buy
Before you buy a rack or canopy
Roof racks, canopies and roller lids carry the gear that won't fit inside. How much they can carry depends on both your vehicle and the rack, so check the numbers before you load up.
- The lower limit applies
Your load limit is the lower of the vehicle maker's roof rating and the rack's rating, and the rack's own weight counts. Adding more bars doesn't raise the roof's limit (Rhino-Rack).
- Driving vs parked
The dynamic rating applies when you're driving; the higher static rating applies when parked, for example with a rooftop tent in use.
- Off-road needs headroom
Rhino-Rack recommends a 1.5 safety factor off-road, so carry less than the on-road limit on rough tracks.
- Cab and canopy are separate
On a ute, the cab and the canopy move independently, so don't fix one load across both. Canopy racks must stay within the canopy's own rating.
Common questions
How much weight can I put on my roof?
The lower of your vehicle maker's roof load rating and the rack's rating, minus the weight of the rack itself. Check your owner's manual for the vehicle figure.
What's the difference between static and dynamic load?
Dynamic is the limit while driving. Static is the limit when the vehicle is parked, which is what matters for a rooftop tent with people in it.
Do I carry less off-road?
Yes. Rhino-Rack recommends a 1.5 safety factor off-road, because bumps multiply the forces on the roof.
Can one rack span the cab and the canopy?
No. The cab and canopy move separately, so they need separate racks, each within its own rating.
