A load binding apparatus comprising:
- a frame assembly further including a plurality of receiving apertures having a length and a width, the length being greater than the width;
- an interlocking securing mechanism for engaging and disengaging with a receiving aperture of the plurality of apertures, the interlocking securing mechanism further including:
- a securing device;
- and
- an elongated crosspiece having a length greater than the width of the receiving aperture coupled substantially perpendicularly to the securing device;
- and
- at least one receiving aperture channel coupled to the underside of the frame assembly, the at least one receiving aperture channel further including a laterally disposed opening allowing rotation of the elongated crosspiece and further including a substantially centrally located raised portion for receiving the elongated crosspiece upon rotation and securing of the securing device to the channel.
