Mainsail has a good point. The front straps on this particular vehicle pictured are routed through sharp edge steel tow points ( that may normally use added round edge shackles for towing ). There appears to be no protection or wrapping for the webbing to avoid the steel hard edge. If these are the main aft motion restraints for the vehicle then that would be questionable. ( and I'm no expert). I realize the pallet may be secured to the floor very well, but if the wooden packing fails then these straps become a critical item for preventing aft CG movement of the load.
