ABSTRACT:
A tarp lashing system for an open bed trailer employs a novel hook that eliminates the need for threading an elastic cord through a series of D-rings on the tarp. The novel hook is used in conjunction with the anchor points that already exist on the perimeter of the trailer. In some embodiments, the hooks have a clamped state and an unclamped state. In the clamped state, the hook grips the cord to maintain the hook's position along the cord's length. In the unclamped state, the hook's position can be readily adjusted by sliding the hook along the length of the cord. With this system, the hooks can be selectively hooked onto one of multiple series of D-rings so that the tarp can be adjusted to match the size of the load.
