V Board Strap And Freight Cushion

Hauling freight on a flatbed can be risky. Logistic strap tautness and wild elements can easily crush exposed cargo and load sharpness may cut tie-down straps and tarps. V board corner protectors are user-friendly cargo guards that will unfailingly shelter freight and insulate straps. They are smooth and hard, ensuring complete strap protection.

Why Use Cargo Corner Protectors

This 12" long V board edge guard extends 8" over the top and down the side of the load. It is made of a durable plastic that will stand as a buffer for the cargo, protecting it from crumbling under strain from tie-down straps and chains. It is also an essential tool that ensures strap longevity, redistributing the pressure of the tie-down over the whole board and eliminating the common wear that so often renders tie-down straps worthless to cargo securement.

These V board corner protectors are 12" long, perfect for cushioning straps that tie down loads with sharp edges such as metal sheets and cinder blocks. Their relatively short length makes them ideal for muffling straps on uneven loads with mixed cargo such as heavy tools and building equipment. They are also effective protectors for soft loads such as drywall and insulation. V board edge protectors are optimal for use on flatbed loads and can be used for other vehicles as well. Place one under each strap at the corners of the freight loads.

Sharp edges and protruding corners are a hazard to people, so use V Board cargo edge guards to avoid workers' injuries and possible lawsuits. By using a V Board edge protector, you will satisfy your federal requirement to use an edge protection that 'resists abrasion, cutting, and crushing' in a case where 'a tie-down would be subject to abrasion or cutting at the point where it touches an article of cargo'. See FMCSA § 393.104 for further details.
