tie-down straps

Load fastening bands

Tie-down straps are heavy-duty straps used to secure cargo during transport.

They typically feature a ratcheting mechanism or cam buckle that allows them to be tightened and locked: Make sure the tie-down straps are snug before we hit the highway.

Common for securing loads in truck beds, on trailers, or atop roof racks.
