Abstract: A self-adjusting tie down for securing a tire on a wheel to a platform having first and second loops attached thereto includes a first ring and a second ring spaced from the first ring. A tread engaging strap is configured to engage the tread surface of the tire, the tread strap being attached to the first ring proximate a first end and positioned through the second ring, where the tread engaging strap includes a length adjusting mechanism attached to a second end and a first securing mechanism configured to engage the first loop attached to the platform. The tie down includes first and second sidewall engaging straps configured to engage the left and right sidewalls of the tire, each of the first and second sidewall engaging straps attached to the second ring proximate a first and positioned through the first ring, each of the first and second sidewall engaging straps comprising a second securing mechanism configured to engage the second loop attached to the platform.

Abstract: A traction ladder is configured to engage a ramp engaging a platform of a transportation vehicle or accessory where the traction ladder includes a first side rail having a first proximal end configured to engage the ground and a first distal end configured to engage a crossbar of the ramp, and a second side rail having a second proximal end configured to engage the ground and a second distal end configured to engage a crossbar of the ramp. The traction ladder includes a plurality of crossbars spaced from each other, each cross bar is pivotally attached to the first side rail at a first pivot and pivotally attached to the second side rail at a second pivot. The traction ladder is configured to be positioned in a first position by pivoting the first and second sider rails about the first and second pivots such that the plurality of traction ladder crossbars are substantially orthogonal to the first and second side rails. The traction ladder is configured to be moved to a second position by pivoting the first and second side rails about the first and second pivots such that the first and second side rails are positioned proximate each other.
