Chocks work better than straps IMO less banging against the van walls

I just fixed a bit of 1.5 inch pipe to the floor of my van trapping the rear wheels against the bulk head and a piece across the front wheels, again fixed to floor. Machine never moves and it makes loading easy without messing about about with straps etc

Put some foam rubber across 2 corners of your van and just keep the machine up against this with a strong bungee cord. Prevents scratched casings.

The best way is to chock the wheels of the machine,  in addition to this i would use either strong bungee cordss or ratchet straps.  I got some rachet straps from ebay which were cheap then found some more in Poundland which would more than do the job you need them for.

I use the ratchet straps from Poundland to ive got 2 machines in my van i put a hose bag in front of each machine at the bulkhead this stops them from banging about then use the ratchet straps to secure them.
