ABSTRACT:
A strapping system for attaching ladders and the like to a vehicle rack is comprised of a flexible strap of fabric or plastic with a cinch ring attached to one end. One surface of the strap is covered by loop fabric of a complementary loop and hook fastening system. The other surface of the strap is covered by hook material, although the hook material is preferably restricted to a relatively short segment of the strap adjacent to the free end opposite the end bearing the cinch ring. The system is installed on the rack by encircling the rack with the strap-loop surface outward, and the free end is threaded through the ring and pulled tight. A retainer clip comprising a C-shaped spring wire attached to the ring is used to stabilize the installation on the rack. The system can be advantageously left installed on the rack between uses. A ladder, or like object, is placed on the rack and wrapped tightly with the rack-attached strap. The wrapped strap and the ladder are locked in place by pressing the hook material to the loop fabric. A brightly colored flexible tab is attached to the free end of the strap to facilitate finding and grasping the free end for peeling the hook material from the loop fabric to remove and use the ladder.
