tie-downs
Secure load fasteners
Tie-downs are straps, ropes, or devices used to secure cargo or equipment in place during transport.
They keep loads from shifting on trucks, trailers, or aircraft: We used ratchet tie-downs to secure the motorcycle.
The term also applies to anchoring points on vehicles or aircraft where such straps attach.
