Haul all straping system

Abstract

The haul all strapping system is an invention consisting of a combination of strapping materials, hardware and fabrics that enables a person to haul long lengths of lumber or other items, in a pickup or hauling vehicle, more safely and secure. The haul all strapping system helps prevent, items being hauled, from moving from side to side, up or down, and backward or forward. The system wraps around the end of the item being hauled to prevent backward, forward, up, or down movement of items being hauled. It also has ratcheted strapping that attach to each side of the hauling vehicle and around the items being hauled. As the ratchet is tightened the straps simultaneously tighten around the items being hauled and from side to side in the hauling vehicle. This prevents movement of items from side to side.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . The Lumber Hauling Buddy/Haul All Strapping System consists of two components, the Stabilization Strap and the Harness Boot. Two Stabilization Straps are used (one in the front of the hauling vehicle bed and one in the rear). The Stabilization Strap prevents movement, of items to be hauled in a pickup truck or hauling vehicle, from side to side. The Harness Boot prevents movement, of items to be hauled, backward, forward, up or down.  
     
     
         2 . The Stabilization Strap incorporates two pieces of strapping material, a ratcheting device and a series of attached “O” Rings or loops to allow the secure and safe hauling of items in a pickup truck or hauling vehicle. By tightening the ratcheting device, the two pieces of strapping materials tightens simultaneously from side to side between the attachment points in a pickup truck or hauling vehicle, and around the items being hauled. When the Stabilization Strap is in place the items can not move from side to side in the hauling vehicle.  
     
     
         3 . “O” Rings or loops are attached to the Stabilization Strap in a manner to allow the easy and quick adjustment to the different widths of items that are to be hauled.  
     
     
         4 . A mesh fabric is the main body of the Harness Boot, which allows airflow through the Harness Boot to prevent a parachuting effect during transit of the hauling vehicle.  
     
     
         5 . Strapping materials are sewn or attached around the border and across the mesh fabric and extended to create extra lengths of strapping materials on each side of the Harness Boot. The extended lenghts of strapping materials then pass through two “O” Rings or loops. An “O” Ring or loop is attached to the end of the strapping material. A common rope or strapping device can be attached to the “O” Ring that is attached to end of the extended strapping materials and to the hauling vehicle. When the rope or strapping device is tightened the Harness boot draws together such as a drawstring. This allows the Harness Boot to cup around the back end of the items to be hauled and pull them tightly into the hauling vehicle. The harness Boot prevents the items to be hauled from moving forward, backward, up or down.  
     
     
         6 . The Invention allows the hauling of long lengths of lumber, or other items to be hauled, in a pickup truck or other hauling vehicle safely and securely. The items being hauled remain tightly and securely in place even when driving at normal speed limits or turning sharp corners.
