Abstract
Provided are a cargo net spanner and a cargo management system including the cargo net spanner. The spanner includes a tab protruding longitudinally from a proximal end of the spanner; a first cord attachment portion proximal to the tab; and a second cord attachment portion at a distal end of the spanner. The tab is configured to allow a user to control a movement of the spanner. The first cord attachment portion is configured to engage with a first cord. The second cord attachment portion is configured to engage with a second cord. The system includes a cargo net and the cargo net spanner(s). When the first cord and the second cord attachment portions are respectively engaged with the first and the second cords, the spanner positions between the first cord and second cord such that an internal space formed by the cargo net becomes more accessible by the user.
