ABSTRACT:
A system for immobilizing vehicles having pneumatic tires during shipment utilizing tire chocks on each side of the tire and a flexible web harness passing over the tire upper circumference having ends affixed to the chocks. A winch mounted upon one chock tensions the harness while a quick-release fitting at the other end of the harness attaches to the other chock. The configuration of the quick-release fitting, the type of tensioning winch employed, the relationship of the winch to its associated chock and the construction of the harness are all features of the invention.
