15in Natural Rubber Tie-down Straps W/ S-hooks, 50PK

Natural Rubber Tarp Strap AdvantagesWeather is an unavoidable and unpredictable element that truckers and cargo haulers must deal with on a daily basis. While your flatbed truck, pickup, or cargo trailer is on the road, your precious cargo is exposed to nature, no matter what part of the country you are driving through or what time of year it is. Goods can get soggy from the rain or snow, melted and faded from scalding heat, frozen or cracked from the icy cold...the list goes on. A tarp is a necessity that every driver must have on hand to cover and protect their load from the forces of nature, and from dust, dirt, and flying debris which can damage cargo when driving on the interstate at a high speed.Whether you use a vinyl tarp, steel tarp, lumber tarp, or any other kind of flatbed tarp cover - you need tarp straps in order to keep your tarp down and to secure it tightly around your cargo. Tarp straps, also called rubber bungees or rubber tie- downs, are simple in design but extremely effective in functionality. A stretchy piece of rubber is paired with sturdy metal zinc plated S-hooks on each end. Any flatbed tarp you buy comes with rows of D-ring or circle ring anchor points that usually run around the perimeter of the tarp, and in several rows across the middle of the tarp. These rings serve as anchor points for the S-hooks on tarp straps. And the large amount of D-ring attachment points on a tarp gives you the flexibility to tie-down your tarp in various ways. Even a large truck tarp can work to tie-down a small amount of cargo or just a few pallets. Simply cover your cargo with your tarp, making sure that the side with the D-rings is facing up. Then use rubber tarp straps to secure the tarp around your cargo by hooking up one end of the strap, wrapping it around the corner or over the top of your load. Then secure the other end of the tarp strap into a different anchor ring. By using several tarp bungee straps in different locations and in different configurations, the cargo you are hauling on your truck should be securely covered by the tarp, and the tarp will not budge, even when driving at high speeds.Natural Rubber Bungees For SalePlease note that these rubber tarp straps are shipped in boxes of 50.
