1. A load strapping device, comprising:
(a) a first elongated member having a first end,
(b) a second elongated member having a second end,
(c) a pivot assembly interconnecting the first and second ends,
(d) a third elongated member telescopically extendible along a longitudinal axis of the third elongated member from the second elongated member to an extended position remote of the pivot assembly,
(e) an extension lock assembly for at least temporarily locking the third elongated member in the extended position, and
(f) a strap end receiving assembly connected to a free end of the third elongated member, the strap end receiving assembly comprising a rod extending from the third elongated member, the extension of the rod from the third elongate member being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the third elongated member, the rod having a length sufficient to receive therearound a looped end of a strap,
wherein, for use, one end of the strap is engaged to the strap end receiving assembly, wherein a load strapping arrangement over a load is formed when a user, located at one side of the load, grips the device and lifts the one end of the strap to a first position just above the height of the load, from where the one end of the strap, by pivotal manipulation of the elongated members, is then fed over the top of the load until the one end of the strap reaches a second position at the other side of the load, whereafter the one end of the strap is disengaged from the strap end receiving assembly and the device is withdrawn from the top of the load to allow the one end of the strap and another end of the strap to be securely attached to respective anchor points for strapping over the load, and wherein, for use, the third elongated member is removably locked in the extended position.
