10 Green US Cargo Control Products for St. Patrick's Day
With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, you may be looking into getting in the festivities. Perhaps you may be wanting to rep your company colors instead, or your favorite color is simply green. But, if you need a little luck (and to avoid getting pinched by a leprechaun), we got you covered with green, high-quality equipment that will help you get the job done.
We categorized each product into one of the three industries we serve in (trucking, lifting and rigging, and moving), so you can quickly find what you’re looking for.
Trucking and Transportation
Green Ratchet Straps
Deck your truck, trailer, or vehicle with green tiedowns that will get you from point A to point B safely. Whether it’s a ratchet strap, cam strap, or e-track, there are many uses such as cargo securement, towing a car, and securing your motorcycle. And if you cannot find what you’re looking for, our team can always get a ratchet strap customized to your needs.
A few best-selling green tiedowns we carry are:
1” x 15’ Ratchet Strap w S-Hook and Keeper
2” x 27’ Ratchet Strap with Black Flat Hook
2” x 6’ Military Ratchet & Camo Strap with Double J Hooks
3” x 30’ Ratchet Strap with Chain Extensions
4” Ratchet Strap with Flat Hook
Green EasyKlip Midi
The EasyKlip grip clips are easy clips to use when you need a quick release fastener on a grommet-free fabric or plastic surface. This means you can use the clips on tarps, banners, car or motorcycle covers, canopies, and more. Each clip can hold up to 220 pounds, and we offer them in a 4-pack and 10-pack.
Cardboard Strapping Protector (2” x 2” x 3”)
Protect your items, fragile loads, and pallet edges/corners with the green strapping guards. Also known as strap guards, edge guards, or angleboards, they can distribute strapping tension to prevent edge and corner damage. They're made of 100% recycled paperboard and can be reused.
Lifting and Rigging
Van Beest Green Pin® Shackles
Tackle the toughest lifting jobs with Van Beest shackles. Shackles are a versatile tool for connecting lifting slings, wire rope, chain, and we offer a variety of Van Beest Shackles such as Screw Pin Anchor Shackles, Bolt Type Anchor Shackles, Wide Body Sling Bow Shackles, and Towing Shackles. Each shackle is European-made, meets all industry standards, and is marked with the steel grade and a traceability code.
Note that anchor shackles have a larger O-shaped look, compared to chain shackles/D shackles. The larger O-shape will allow larger slings or straps to fit easier. If there is an application that requires a smaller loop, we reccomend using D-shackles and chain shackles.
Green Polyester Round Slings
Our Eye & Eye Polyester Round Slings and Endless Polyester Round Slings are versatile, reliable, pliable, and cost-effective to lift a variety of cargo. Eye & Eye Slings are created by attaching a wear pad to both ends to create loop eyes, and Endless Round Slings is a one “endless” loop where the wear points can be adjusted with each use.

Caldwell Dura-Lite Lifting Beams and Spreader Bars
Lifting beams and spreader bars help lift heavy loads with a crane safely and efficiently. Both are considered a below-the-hook lifting device since the attachment to the load(s) takes place below the crane’s hook. A lifting beam is under pressure at the single lifting point, while a spreader beam is designed to work under compression and spreads the load out evenly over a longer area.
Caldwell Dura-Lite Composite Lifting Beams, Adjustable Spreader Beams, and Composite Spreader Beams are constructed from fiber-reinforced polymer (high-capacity fiberglass) for superior durability and engineered to withstand rugged environments. They’re significantly easier to transport and handle on the job site, and are designed for more than 2 million lifts.
Moving
Green Moving Blankets
WIth green moving blankets, you can move furniture and protect your valuables with our high-quality Multi Mover moving blankets. You can even use our Camo Moving Blankets for camping, hunting, or other outdoor activities. Both Multi Mover and Camo blankets are reusable and made of a combination of woven and non-woven polyester.
If you’re looking for a higher quality blanket or something a little more affordable, look into our other moving blankets.
Green Moving Rubber Bands
Move furniture and valuables in style with green rubber moving bands. The 30” large green bands will stretch to approximately double the size, 60”, and has ribbing to keep it secured.
Green Appliance Hand Truck Cover
Speaking of moving blankets, we also carry a hand truck cover so you can protect your furniture even more. Our Appliance Truck Cover is a quilted cover made of a cotton/polyester blend with hook and loop straps to protect the hand truck and appliances from scruffs.
BONUS: We also have a love seat quilted cover made with the same material so you can protect your love seat during moving or storage.
