Does the Erickson Hitch Mounted Load Extender, # EM07605 Come With Straps

Question:

Does the load extender come with supports straps that attach the center bar to the rear bumper as shown in the picture with the Chevy and the Jeep? If the straps are not included, are there attachment points to connect straps to?

The Erickson Big Bed Junior Hitch Mounted Load Extender, # EM07605, does not comes with the straps you see in the pictures. If you look at some of the pictures of just the extender, you will see two loops, one on each end, of the T part of the extender. You could run safety cables, rope, or hooks through these to help secure the cargo. The other straps are attached in the adjustments holes for the cross bar. You could also wrap a strap around each side of the cross bar to stabilize the load.

You could use the Ratchet Strap with Twisted Snap Hooks with Safety Latch, # EM51324. I have included a video review of the ratcheting straps below.
