Available on both sides of the East Beast or Beast II fl atbed trailer, the fl at-hook tiedowns are interchangeable and are designed to allow torque to be applied evenly to stabilize the load. Each tiedown is movable so that it can be positioned where needed to secure the cargo. Once the fl at hook is engaged, the rail's design holds the hook in place while tension is added to the strap. The side rail maintains all of the standard features of East's Securetight cargo control system, an adjustable chain tiedown and winch strap capture system where movable tiedowns across the top of the side rail provide positive locking every 8 inches. Straps go inside the rail, not over the top, to help protect the strap from chafi ng against the winch hook and from shearing or cutting should the trailer be involved in a mishap.
