A palletizing system includes a reusable pallet and a reusable anchoring device for securing a load. The anchoring device comprises a strap and clamping mechanism for selectively receiving and clamping to the strap and, alternatively, releasing the strap. The pallet includes a base and one or more housings fixed to the base for receiving the clamping mechanism. Each housing has an opening for receiving the clamping mechanism and providing access to the clamping mechanism so that the clamping mechanism can be manipulated in the housing, and an aperture for receiving the strap, the aperture being sized to prevent the clamping mechanism from passing through the aperture. A method for palletizing a load includes placing a load on the upper face of a pallet, engaging the load and the pallet with a strap, and releasably clamping the strap with a selectively releasable clamping mechanism to secure the load to the pallet so that the load can be removed from the pallet by releasing the clamping mechanism from the strap.
