Flatbed Accessories

If you drive a flatbed truck, you know that your work is doubled. Not only do you have to take the time to unload the truck, as well as drive across the country, but countless minutes are also spent securing your load—and for good reason. In fact, it is unsecured loads that cause many of the accidents along the highway, accidents that not only cause inconveniences for the drivers stuck in traffic, but also can take the lives of other drivers.

Securing your load can often be as frustrating as loading and unloading a truck whose cargo is too large, bulky, or awkwardly shaped to use equipment. Stretching and reaching, the task is as frustrating as it is dangerous. You are liable to sprain an ankle, pull a tendon, or throw a back securing your cargo, not to mention that you might just fall over. Similarly, if you’re crawling on top of your loads to secure them, your danger is doubled.

Now, however, for less than $50 you can take away some of the pain and risk that awaits you when securing your load with Strap Pusher. Compliant with the Department of Transportation regulations for securing your loads, this handy piece of equipment allows you to make sure your cargo is safe and secure with both feet solidly on the ground. And that’s not a place that most truckers’ feet are able to be.

The Rankee Strap Pusher is, according to it’s marketers, a necessity for those who haul sheetrock or bunked lumber. This nifty little gadget will allow you to secure even the most infamously frustrating and dangerous loads from the safety of the ground. Furthermore, this unique invention saves time, as you’ll be able to secure your loads faster and with fewer hands.

Formatted to reach over eight feet, this tool will easily allow you to reach across your bed. Although the long arm is helpful when loading, however, it also retracts for easy storage.

Getting a secure load from home base to the client’s loading dock is important for both safety and economic reasons.

Truckers who want to make sure that their straps are tight and who would like an extra, extendable, hand to help them with that task should check out Strap Pusher.
