ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a vehicle cargo restraint system comprises a cargo restraining strap and at least two tie down rings proximate the perimeter of the cargo area, positioned approximately opposite each other. In trucks and trailers, additional tie down rings may be conveniently placed near the top of the vertical corners of the cargo bed. At least one of each pair of the tie down rings is configured to allow a cargo restraining strap to be passed through it and be attached to a mechanical tightener, e.g., a ratchet, which is located conveniently on a wall of the cargo area, at a distance from the pass-through, tie down ring. The mechanical tightener may be rotatably and removably attached to the wall of the cargo area. The cargo restraining strap, both of the tie down rings and the mechanical tightener, and their respective anchoring sites, must all be strong enough to restrain cargo under predetermined conditions of cargo weight, vehicle speed and type of accident.
