C channel pipe stakes for truck flatbeds have been widely adopted throughout the trucking industry. In African nations where trucks are a common form of transport, these stakes allow different types of goods to be secured on flatbed trucks. They can be put on and taken off with ease which allows for different ways of securing the cargo. The C channel design withstands lateral forces very well which keeps the cargo in place during stops and turns. The C channel pipe stakes are used universally and because they are durable, they can be used by people of different cultures. Thus, making them very useful in the trucking industry.
