While at the GIE EXPO back in 2011 we came across the CargoBuckle. Basically they are mountable, retractable straps. I have cut my time of securing a load from 10 minutes to literally under 1 minute with the CargoBuckles. They look like a 6′ long seatbelt and have a breaking strength of 3500 lbs. When we loaded wood on our PJ trailer it was secure in seconds.
The CargoBuckles have a nice non marring rubber coated surface to protect your load. I used a IRWIN step bit to drill the 1/4 holes which worked out awesome! CargoBuckle includes the hardware to mount them and once in position we locked them down. For those of you that do not want a permanent mount, CargoBuckle has a a lot of accessories to make it a standalone strap. They also have flush mount, pick up bed mount and other mounting options.

These look like a great item and perfect for strapping down loads without
wondering if the strap is tight enough or if it will fall off enroute to
your destination.
