DC Cargo Mall Heavy-Duty Adjustable Load Lock Bars for Trailers - Pack of 4 - Truck Cargo Bars - Load Bars for Enclosed Vans and Reefers - 89-104 Inches Long Steel Ratcheting Cargo Bar

The media could not be loaded. [See video for an update.] Aside from the box in which these were shipped, which was ridiculously flimsy, these were perfect for me! Be sure this is what you're looking for before you buy. As is clearly stated, these are too long for regular pickup trucks, etc. However, they are super-easy to cut down to about any size you may need. I used a saws-all to trim mine down 9 inches in order to be perfect for what I needed. But they could be much shorter. Just use an Allen wrench to remove the ratcheting mechanism, cut pipe with a hacksaw or whatever (I used a Sawzall). Replace the mechanism and viola! Perfect! Liked em so much I bought more! I haven't used them a whole lot yet, but they appear very sturdy and overbuilt. Another factor in which to be aware, the ratchet notches are about 1/4-3/8inch apart. So if you need to "fine-tune" the amount of pressure, that could be a problem. I'm very happy and love em![UPDATE: see video] After my review, I found that one of the 4 bars wouldn't retract correctly. I figured out a hack to retract the bar using my finger to manually release it on each stroke of the handle. I'll update with how customer service handles the problem. But still very happy with the product!

Got these for my enclosed cargo trailer as we are moving households this year. These are nice heavy duty load bars and would work well in large trucks. Alas, I should have measured because they were too long for my trailer. No matter. At one end, I removed the “foot” that is held by a bolt and lock nut. I then cut off about 12 inches with my reciprocating saw. Then I drilled a hole and reinstalled the foot. They now work great and it only took me about 20 minutes to retrofit the four load locks for my smaller trailer. Good heavy hardware and the price is really a value for what you get. Keeps your load from shifting and damage.

Purchased my first enclosed trailer, started loading it and discovered if you cannot tie your load down to the rings in the floor with ratchet straps you need some type of adjustable restraint to keep it all from shifting while traveling. These cargo bars are great for the job. I originally thought I needed 1 or 2 but getting the 4 pack worked out great. Much more versatile with odd shaped items and multiple items . They are a bit awkward to use at first and a second person helps tremendously. I’ve only had them a short time but they seem to be built well and should hold up for a long time.

I needed to brace some furniture in a cargo container prior to relocating the container. These worked great, kept the furniture where I placed it, despite a bit of rough handling dragging it onto the tilt bed truck. The only complaint I had was the difficulty of placing these myself. Even when I had assistance holding them in place the ratchet didn’t work as I expected. Instead of ratcheting the poles out, it required manually lengthening the poles and holding them in place stretched out while locking them down.

I used load locks when I was a trucker and now that I'm retired I use them for when I move or help a friend move. Just moved a relative 500 miles and that a single box shifted whit these load locks keeping them in place. Well worth the money!

I use these in my similar tractor trailer. They hold everything into place as advertised.

By the 3rd useThey were all broken by the thinner side of the tubing. Complete waste of money. Will not recommend this item to any professional, maybe a small hitch trailer. Cannot withstand being in the back of anything larger than a 10 foot long box truck or trailer.

Great job !!!
