Abstract

A load securement device may comprise an extendable pole and a plurality of attachments. The device may be operable to manipulate a tie down of a cargo trailer. As non-limiting examples, the tie down may be a cargo strap, a cargo chain, or an elastic cord used to secure a cargo or to secure a tarp over the cargo. The extendable pole may be lengthened to reach the top of the cargo. The extendable pole may be shortened to take up less space for storage. The plurality of attachments may alter a distal end of the extendable pole to enable the extendable pole to perform multiple tasks necessary for securing the cargo. As non-limiting examples, the plurality of attachments may enable the extendable pole to toss the cargo strap, to pull the cargo strap, or lift a hard corner.
