Re-reading the O/P I see the phrase "self-drive car transporter", which I presume is a truck rather than a trailer. With his sort of vehicle the back is usually a flat bed, so there should be no issues with width and the wheel track.
I would have thought that these would come with ratchet straps which could be used to strap down the axle, probably via the caravan's wheels. I would also strap down the tow hitch to a central point at the front of the transporter to stop any tendency of the caravan to swivel on the bed. For extra security you could try to find somewhere at the rear of the caravan chassis to strap down, again using ratchet straps. However, if the axle is securely strapped, and the hitch secured, strapping down the rear end is probably a bit belt and braces.
Take it steady, drive carefully, and be aware of the increased height when planning your route. Hope all goes well.

Best Regards,
Colin
