Abstract: The present device provides a mechanism for securing a load along a relatively level load-bearing surface such as a pallet or skid. An anchoring component fixedly attaches to an edge or overhang of a pallet deck board. Attached to the anchoring component is an elongate member which extends vertically from the anchoring component. A hook component, at the end of elongate member distal to the anchoring component, fixedly attaches to a piece of flexible material wrapped around a load to be secured, at a point adjacent to where the anchoring component attaches to the deck board.
