Abstract
An extendable strap system for closing off one or more sides of a cargo cart. In a first embodiment the strap system includes a reel assembly mounted within one of the columns of the cart itself—and integral to the cart. When additional securement is desired, the user pulls a strap from the reel assembly and stretches it across an open side of the cart before securing it in place. When the strap is no longer needed it can be returned to the reel assembly.
