tiedown
Keeps loads still
A tiedown is a strap, rope, or device used to secure cargo or equipment in place, preventing movement during transport: Check the tiedowns before we hit the highway.
In aviation, tiedowns anchor a parked aircraft to the ground.
The term also refers to the anchor point itself—a ring or hook where straps attach.
