ABSTRACT:
A tie-down winch is provided for use in a vehicle tie-down system to hold a vehicle on the deck of a transport. The tie-down winch cooperates with a longitudinally extending channel that is secured to the deck of the transport to place in tension a tie-down member that is connected to a vehicle to secure the vehicle on the transport. The channel has opposed upright wall members, one of which has a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings formed therethrough. A fixed position pin member extends transversely of the winch and projects into one of the channel openings to position the winch in a selected position in the channel. The winch can be pivoted to withdraw the pin.
