My 08 F250 has a tie down in each corner of the bed,
They are attached with two bolts each.

Is there a way to tell how much weight they will hold?
Would they be strong enough to tie down a 900# motorcycle with one on each corner?

 

I imagine their limit matches the cargo weight limit of the truck itself (actually probably much more). Bottom line, if you can haul it, the tie downs should hold it.

 

Good question but just guessing 900/4 = 225 for each tie down at worst each may have 500 and still think it would be ok. Just to make sure these will help Motorcycle Wheel Chock

 

Better yet,I just got a screaming deal on a used Rampage lift
Rampage Power Lift Motorized Motorcycle Power Lift Ramp for pick up trucks trailers Rampage Lifts

 

Sweet never seen one of those before that should do the trick

 

Just to clarify a point on load securing.....

you can not take the weight and divide it by the number of tie points. If you are only holding an item stable to lift it, this is fine but in a moving situation you have to account for momentum of travel be it forward, back, side or straight up. If you have the bike mounted in the truck and have to slam the brakes, the G-Force of the bike makes it weigh a lot more than the actual and God forbid you get in a wreck and stop almost instant, that bike will be in the cab with you, or on you.....

I think the standard rule is .8G (80%) forward, .5G (50%) side or rear and .2G (20%) vertical....like a bouncy road.

This means that the standard tie tiedown points and straps should be rated for the weight of the bike plus at least 80% or 1620lbs. The truck tiedown points are a non-issue, they are rated way over that, but make sure the straps used are rated high enough. Another point is you can not divide by 4 as in an emergency stop situation, the front straps are not stopping forward motion, only the rear straps are taking the weight so your rear straps should be rated 850-1000lbs minimum, the front straps could be lower as the rear and side momentum only requires 50% or 1300lbs.

I know you have already found another way to do this, I just wanted to make sure people knew how to secure a load so they don't get hurt....Not trying to be a dick either, just seen to many load fails and people hurt, couple killed.

 

The Rampage lift only has tie downs on the front,still need the truck tie downs on the rear. This is good info and you're not coming off as a dick
Thanks.
