Abstract
A hook for a tie-down strap to secure a load on a trailer having a rail engaged by the hook. The hook has first and second panel portions, the first panel portion being secured to the strap. A transition connects the first and second panel portions, and a distal end portion of the second panel portion forms a return segment extending into the space between the panel portions. In use, the first and second panels are disposed along opposite surfaces of the rail. The transition spans one edge of the rail and the return spans an opposite edge of the rail.
