Partner with ASTRA™ Suspended Tiedown System

ASTRA™ is an innovative cargo management technology designed specifically for pickup truck cargo bays. The System introduces a new cargo restraint architecture that extends the capability of conventional rail and cleat systems by providing fully adjustable suspended anchor positions for low-height cargo restraint.

The ASTRA™ Suspended Tiedown System addresses a long-standing limitation of traditional pickup truck cargo management systems, which typically rely on rail and cleat assemblies mounted along the upper side sections of the cargo bay. While these systems perform well for taller cargo, they are generally ineffective when securing lower-height items.

ASTRA solves this problem by providing fully adjustable suspended anchor positions within the cargo bay, enabling cargo of varying sizes and shapes to be secured safely and efficiently.
