Abstract: A tie-down secures a load onto a vehicle. The tie-down has a pivot, and a winch. The pivot has a pin, a rotatable sleeve, a cap, and a base. The pin is an annular tube. The winch has a U-shaped frame comprising first and second walls, and a third wall interconnecting the first and second walls. Flanges attach the first and second walls, respectively, of the winch to the sleeve. The third wall is perpendicular to the sleeve. The vehicle has a support surface for supporting the load, and a plurality of the tie-downs. The tie-downs comprise left-hand tie-downs and right-hand tie-downs. The tie-downs are attached to shelves attached to the vehicle adjacent and extending away from the support surface. The shelves comprise left-hand shelves and right-hand shelves. Alternatively, anchors are attached to the tie-downs for removably mounting the tie-downs within stake pockets of the vehicle.

Abstract: A tie-down secures a load onto a vehicle. The tie-down has a pivot, a winch, and an anchor. The pivot has a pin, a rotatable sleeve, a cap, and a base. The pin can be either a solid bar, or an annular tube. The winch is attached to the sleeve. The winch has a U-shaped frame comprising two flanges and a wall interconnecting the flanges. The wall is parallel with and attached to the sleeve. The anchor is attached to the base of the pivot. The anchor can be a solid bar, or C-shaped, or two channels sandwiching part of the pin, or annular. The vehicle has a support surface for supporting the load, and a plurality of the tie-downs. The anchor is either attached to the support surface, or, when the vehicle has stake pockets, is removably mountable within a stake pocket.
