The Frame-Mount Standard — RTJ Cluster Hooks, DiamondWeave™, 9 Colors
The V-Bridle is the frame-mount tie-down solution for professional auto haulers who need maximum holding power without any tire or wheel contact. Where an over-wheel strap loops the tire, the V-Bridle attaches directly to the vehicle's frame or axle via RTJ cluster hooks — forming a diagonal V-pattern that distributes load across two secure attachment points. This is the method specified in many high-end vehicle transport contracts and the standard practice for luxury, classic, and low-profile vehicle transport.
Built on DiamondWeave™ webbing — a proprietary cross-diagonal weave that reduces internal fiber abrasion at friction contact points compared to standard flat-woven polyester — these straps deliver a longer service life under the conditions of daily auto transport. Available in 9 DiamondWeave™ colors for color-coded fleet management.
What's Included
One (1) — 2" x 36" V-Bridle Strap
RTJ (Reach Through J) Cluster Hooks — dual-hook termination for frame/axle attachment
DiamondWeave™ webbing construction for extended strap life
Choice of 9 DiamondWeave™ colors: Black, Blue, Grey, Gold, Hi-Viz Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red
Both are accepted vehicle securement methods for open carrier transport. Professionals choose the V-Bridle when:
Luxury and exotic vehicles — zero tire contact eliminates any risk of sidewall marking or rim contact; required by many luxury vehicle transport contracts
Classic and show cars — frame attachment keeps tires in showroom condition for collector and auction transport
Low-profile tires or wide aftermarket rims — over-wheel straps can contact expensive wheels; V-Bridle removes that risk entirely
Lowered vehicles — some lowered cars have insufficient tire sidewall clearance for proper over-wheel strap placement; frame mount solves the problem
Motorcycles and trikes — V-Bridle frame attachment is standard practice for two and three-wheel transport
Why DiamondWeave™ Webbing Lasts Longer
Standard polyester webbing degrades fastest at friction contact points — where hooks seat, where straps run through ratchet teeth, where webbing contacts trailer rails. DiamondWeave™ uses a cross-diagonal weave that:
Distributes friction stress across a wider surface area rather than concentrating it at single-point contact
Resists internal fiber breakdown significantly longer than standard flat-woven polyester
Maintains rated load capacity further into the strap's service life
Available in 9 distinct colors for fleet position tracking and driver accountability
Color-Code Your Fleet
With 9 DiamondWeave™ colors, fleet managers track strap age by rotating color schedules, mark trailer position (front axle = black, rear = blue), or assign straps to specific drivers for accountability. Color coding is a professional practice on well-run auto hauling operations — it takes seconds to see which straps have been in service longest.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many V-Bridles do I need per vehicle?
Standard practice uses four V-Bridles per vehicle — one at each corner (front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right frame attachment point). Some operators run two in a two-point configuration for lighter passenger cars, but four-point is the professional standard for commercial open carrier transport.
Are RTJ hooks compatible with my trailer rail system?
RTJ (Reach Through J) hooks are engineered for the standard rail slot systems used on most open carrier platforms. If your trailer uses a non-standard slot configuration, contact us at Sales@GO-TOW.COM before ordering — we'll confirm compatibility or point you to the right fitting.
Can V-Bridles be used on flatbed trailers for vehicle transport?
Yes, but flatbed setups require the RTJ hooks to attach to D-ring anchors or tie-down track systems mounted on the deck — flatbeds lack the standard rail slot system found on open carriers. Contact us for guidance specific to your flatbed configuration.
Does DiamondWeave™ webbing require any special care or inspection?
Inspect all tie-down straps before each use per FMCSA regulations — look for cuts, fraying, broken stitching, or hardware damage. DiamondWeave™ webbing's cross-diagonal weave makes wear patterns more visible over time compared to standard flat weave. Retire any strap showing structural damage; never field-repair a load-bearing strap.
