ABSTRACT:
Devices for tying down motor vehicles during transport on a transporting vehicle, such as a railroad car, truck, or the like. Each tie down device includes a winch and a tie down fitting for effecting a detachable connection to the transported vehicle. With each tie down the winch includes a base member that is adapted to be positioned in a floor mounted track on the transporting vehicle and a shaft onto which a chain or flexible transmitter is adapted to be wound. The shaft of the winch is disposed with its rotational axis parallel to the direction in which the track extends. The tie down fitting has a first portion that is adapted to be connected to a chain or other flexible transmitter of the winch and second and third portions, each of which is configured to effect a detachable connection to a respective attachment means of the transported vehicle. The attachment means of the respective vehicles are different, and for this reason the second and third portions of the tie down fitting are differently configured.
