Trying to buy another one of these for use in a Luton Van for the load rail but despite googling every type of ratchet strap i can't find one with these ends that lock into the rail?

I thought it was just a claw hook, but looking in detail the ones in your photo are shorter / shallower. Will a regular claw hook fit?

They are not normal hooks, if you look they are only 90 degrees not proper hooks and the end has a pair that you turn back to back, slip in to the load rail hole and they then lock.

I too have tens of load straps and they are not like the ones used as tie downs for loads.

2 hooks on each strap end in a loose loop so they can move apart.
