Claims (30)

1 . A system for securing an object to a securing site comprising:

at least one strap;

an attachment plate for placement at a securing site;

wherein the attachment plate comprising a plate, at least two sides, and a rear plate;

wherein each of the at least two sides have at least one opening configured to allow the at least one strap to pass through; and

a mounting plate for placement on the object, wherein the mounting plate is offset from the object by a fixed distance sized to receive the plate of the attachment plate between the mounting plate and the object.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap further comprises at least one fastener for securing the at least one strap to the securing site.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate further comprises an indention.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate further comprises a bend.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plate and the at least two sides are welded together.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rear plate and the at least two sides are welded together.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein fixed distance is created by a set of fastening points that secure the mounting plate to the object.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises at least one strap opening.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises an offset plate.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the offset plate is securing to the mounting plate via welding.

11 . A device for securing an object to a receiving unit comprising:

a mounting plate for placement on the object, wherein the mounting plate offset from the object by a fixed distance sized to receive a plate of an attachment plate between the mounting plate and the object; and

a set of fasteners that couple the mounting plate to the object.

12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein fixed distance is created by the set of fasteners that secure the mounting plate to the object.

13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises at least one strap opening.

14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the mounting plate further comprises an offset plate.

15 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the offset plate is securing to the mounting plate via welding.

16 . A device for receiving and securing an object comprising:

an attachment plate for placement at a securing site;

wherein the attachment plate comprising a plate sized to be received in an offset from the object between a mounting plate and the object, at least two sides, and a rear plate; and

wherein each of the at least two sides have at least one opening configured to allow at least one strap to pass through; wherein the plate extends beyond the at least two sides and is configured to be received by a securing mechanism.

17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the rear plate further comprises an indention.

18 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the rear plate further comprises a bend.

19 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the plate and the at least two sides are welded together.
