Abstract
A device for tying down motor vehicles during transport on a transporting vehicle, such as a railroad car, truck, or the like. The tie-down device includes a winch and a tie-down fitting for effecting a detachable connection to the transported vehicle. 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.
