V Board Corner Edge Protectors for Flatbed Trailer Loads and Truck Pallets

Cargo hauled on flatbed trucks and secured by straps or chains are often damaged by said tie-downs. The top layer of freight usually gets crushed by the pressure of the strap that is pulled tightly over the load. V boards offer a simple way to minimize damage to your cargo and tie-down straps; by redistributing the pressure of the strap over the whole board, they reduce strain to the load. Edge protectors can ensure your freight will be safe and your straps whole, even after a long trip in harsh conditions. These cargo load safety guards are perfect for protecting straps on loads of steel, lumber, and other building products. They are small enough to allow for flexible usage on mixed and uneven loads like open drums and power tools.

8" x 8" x 12" V Board Tie-Down Strap Cushion Guard Bumpers

These plastic V Boards are 12" long panels that smoothly cover the corners of loads and extend 8.25" down both the top and side of the load; they are available in five colors – red, blue, green, yellow and orange. This 12" V board secures the tie-down over the cargo while cushioning the load, minimizing damage to the freight and avoiding tear to the strap. Using V Board cargo corner guards ensures safety to your freight, handlers, and tie-down straps, helping you avoid lawsuits and constant strap expenditure. It helps you comply with 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".
