I Like My Pick Up I Always Get Cargo Bar And Bungee Cord
A while ago I purchased a brand new pick up truck and I wanted to move a lot things around with it. I have to say what I have on the truck is just a mess, all kinds of stuff piled together, you can see all those trash like stuff I don’t want, such as old shoes, useful or useless cables, phones, etc., some toys from years ago, a barely working exercise bike, etc. I tried to load them up in an ordered fashion but it was proved that my effort was futile. When I was looking at the dump site, I was just amazed by myself, I actually did this! I said to myself that there was no way I could go ahead like this, If I went on the road with the dumpster here were what would happen: you could imagine the whole mess would collapse onto the road and might cause accident, or just like you would’ve guessed it, I would be spotted and stopped by police officers and probably got ticket and points.
Let’s see what I could do now, I either could repack everything and tie them down or just hold the whole mess together with something, OK, even I start over I still will have to find something to secure the load, these choices actually mean one thing, I need some cargo control stuff for my pick up. Obviously I wasn’t going to need something like 2” ratchet straps which has working load limit of 3,333lbs, or transport chains,
At first I was totally lost because there so many tie downs, but when I narrow down my search to pick up truck I was able to find something useful, at first I found some 1” ratchet straps, camouflage ones, I liked these straps but they are too much in strength for me, even the price was pretty good, cam buckle tie downs were not better in this sense, all I found was too much for my simple application which was to hold things together,what a piece of 1” ratchet strap could do with the huge pile such as the stuff on my truck? To be clear, these one inch straps are not good for huge pile of small stuff. I went through a lot of information and finally arrived at cargo nets , I could choose from 48”x60” or 60”x84”, depends on my need, and this was just what I needed, To use cargo nets is pretty simple, just cover the pile with cargo net, hook the hooks on the cargo net on the truck, that’s it. With cargo nets come bungee cord , the bungee cords are just perfect for tying down cargo net, in fact the cargo net is made of interconnected bungee cords! To say the least, both cargo net and bungee cord are commercial tie downs compare to industrial tie downs, which means they are light duty and small in size, and they are mostly being used to hold small stuff. And these nets and cords are perfect cargo control stuff for cars, small trucks and small vans, you will be able get good deals all over the place. Cargo net and bungee cord are not the only game in town, probably a lot people will like to have a cargo bar in their trunk, you can use these cargo bars(lock bars or load bars) as trunk divider, prevent objects in the trunk from moving, almost everybody will need one at some point.
