Pretty secure already. But there are loads that need to be secured further. empty kegs, cereal stacked tall, boxed napkins, most beer loads in general for some reason, anything that might bounce out of place in transit. I carried both straps and bars (load locks). The bars stretch wall to wall and have a ratchet type mechanism that extends one end of the bar until each end is secured to the trailer walls with their rubber feet. As for straps, just about all swift trailers have vertical metal plates on each side of the trailer from front to back spaced about 4' apart or so with many notches spaced top to bottom that the straps fit into. Ratchet down the straps to secure that way.[/QUOTE]
