How Do You Strap a TV in a Truck Bed?

When transporting a television in the back of a truck, it is important to properly secure the television. Otherwise, the television can shift while driving and cause damage.

Fortunately, strapping a TV in a truck bed is relatively easy with the right materials and methods.

Materials

The following are necessary to strap down a TV in a truck bed:

  • Truck bed anchors
  • Ratchet straps
  • Bungee cords

Instructions

  1. Attach the anchors to the four corners of your truck bed. This can be done with either screws or bolts, depending on your anchor setup.
  2. Place your television onto the truck bed and position it so it is centered and will not move around.
  3. Secure one end of each ratchet strap to an anchor point at one corner of your truck bed.
  4. Stretch each ratchet strap diagonally across the TV and secure them to anchor points at the diagonally opposite corner.
  5. Tighten each ratchet strap until they are snug against your television.
  6. (Optional) Place bungee cords around your TV for extra security.

Conclusion: Strapping down a TV in a truck bed requires only basic materials and instructions. With anchors, ratchet straps, and bungee cords, you can ensure that your television stays secure while you transport it.
