Decking Beams

What you will find here

This section lists 5 decking beams. Prices currently range from $49.99 to $84.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use decking beams for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose decking beams

Measure the width or height you need to span and check the bar’s adjustment range and rating.

Working load limits in this section run from 2,000 lbs to 3,000 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Aluminum (2 products) — Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant, which makes it easy to handle and install.
• Steel Reinforced Rubberized Polymer (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.

Before you buy

• Confirm the size or option matches your equipment.
• Check the rated capacity against your heaviest load.
• Compare the full option table above before clicking through.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
