When Moving Stuff With Pick Up Don’t Forget Cargo Bars and Cargo Net
A while back we’ve been on the road for a while , and we had a lot stuff in our trunk . I simply have to say that the trunk is just like a trash can , you probably will see all kinds of trash like stuff in it, sometimes I believe I am just a hoarder! Of course I had the confidence that I would do a nice job before I went on packing the stuff, but the reality just taught me a lesson. 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 did there would be possible consequences like these: you could imagine the whole mess would collapse onto the road and might cause accident, or before anything could happen I would be stopped by a police officer and get ticketed.
Let’s see what I could do now, I could start over and try to tidy them up and tie them down or simply find something to hold them together, to sum it up, I only need to find something to hold all stuff together and I would be good to go! Was that simple? Of course in this case we don’t need big tie downs like 10,000lb ratchet strap or grade 70 binder chains,
The tie down is a really big product category, there are so many different kind of tie downs, but I only search for stuff for pick up truck, 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 straps were in the same shoes, what I found was too heavy duty yet not good enough for my purpose,what a piece of 1” ratchet strap could do with the huge pile such as the stuff on my truck? Besides, 1” ratchet straps won’t be able to hold a lot small pieces together at all. Then I ran into this gem: cargo net for pick ups, the size is 48”x60” which is ideal for my truck, just put the cargo net on top the pile then tie it down, you’re all set. Here we have to introduce the bungee cords , the essential part of the cargo net, you can use the cords separately or connected together just like cargo net. For the record, the cargo nets and bungee cords are perfect for hold small stuff together, especially irregular objects in my case. And you can put these light duty tie downs to some creative use as you see fit, they are just perfect for passenger cars and small trucks. Now let’s talk about something else, don’t the forget the cargo bar which is made for pick up truck, you can use these cargo bars(lock bars or load bars) as trunk divider, stop stuff from shifting, for the record, any one could use a cargo bar!
