Mag-Tie Down Straps (8)

Mag-Tie Down Straps (8) are gear for splitting an awkward load across eight individually tensioned magnetic restraints, designed around the blunt fact that freight remembers every shortcut. Thick lugs and serviceable joints trade showroom elegance for damage a tired rigger can actually see. Lay out the cable and clamps before tensioning, close them from the center outward, then test the release with the deck quiet. Docking vibration works slack into the worst joint first, so the witness marks deserve more faith than anyone's memory. Before reuse, compare the fasteners with their paint marks and look for polishing where no surface should have moved. One slack strap transfers load to the other seven, beginning a cascade during the maneuver everyone promised would be gentle.
