How does the size compare to our stake pockets? (I'm too lazy to go out and measure...)

Cool idea - I'm thinking those are made for binders to hold heavy loads so the PJ's might be built too heavy for our trucks, but the concept would be simple to copy.

I think they only work for flatbeds because they are secured with a pin below the pocket.

I will have to measure my pockets...

Just my opinion, but I think he may be trying to re-invent the wheel. Any trailer or flatbed truck I've ever owned or seen has no real use for the movable D ring. If there is a stake pocket, I've always found a way to use the chain hook or the strap hook, either thru the stake pocket, outside the stake pocket or at the frame of the vehicle. . ,
I guess there may be a slight bit more strength (even pull on the stake pocket) gained by using his portable device.
