Corner and Edge Protectors for Load Safety

Experienced flatbed truckers know that corner and edge protectors are among the more important tools of the trade. You may not realize just how important they are until you don't have what you need, resulting in a torn tarp or damaged cargo. Do not wait until that happens to stock up. Instead, make sure your toolbox contains a full variety of cargo protectors based on the kinds of cargo you normally carry.

These load protectors offer tremendous functionality. They protect tarps from sharp edges; they prevent tarps from coming into direct contact with key areas of especially sensitive cargo; they can prevent different pieces of cargo from making contact during transport. Cargo protectors may seem like small and insignificant pieces of plastic or metal, but they can be lifesavers. Mytee Products offers a wide range of corner and edge protectors designed to meet your needs.

What are corner and edge protectors?

Corner and edge protectors are designed to protect both your cargo and your straps from pressure and friction during transport.

Straps, like winch straps can take damage over time when they're securing sharp-edged loads. Tension is what secures the load to a truck. But when tension isn't broadly distributed, the resulting friction can end up cutting into straps, damaging them and wearing them out faster.

Likewise, when all the tension hits a piece of cargo at a specific point, where the strap or chain meets the load, that piece of cargo can take damage as well. This is especially true if the cargo is somewhat fragile, or if you're using a less flexible method of securement, like a chain binder.

Cargo protectors solve both of these problems. By positioning corner protectors or edge protectors at the point of tension, you can re-distribute that tension, thus reducing friction, pressure, and resulting damage to your cargo and your binder. Since the overall amount of tension stays the same, the load stays secure.

When should I use corner protectors or edge protectors?

Corner protectors are mandatory by law anytime you have a load that could potentially cut or damage the strap. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), transporting dressed lumber, metal coils, or heavy equipment, vehicles, or machinery is considered a significant risk to your strap binder. When transporting these types of goods, load protectors are required.

However, even in circumstances where an edge protector or corner protector isn’t mandatory, corner protectors are helpful in maintaining the safety of your load and preventing your straps from taking damage.

In non-mandatory contexts, use your best judgment. If you think the outer layer of freight might get crushed by your straps, definitely opt for a cargo protector.

Plastic V board corner protectors are ready to go, while other varieties might require a hand tool to install. V boards, also called vee shaped edge protectors, veeboards, or v board flatbed cargo protectors, are plastic, v-shaped protectors. They’re the most popular method truckers use to protect corners and edges.

Questions & Answers

What are flatbed edge protectors made out of?

Common edge protectors are made out of high-density polyethylene which is extremely durable and performs well under pressure. Other protectors, made to protect the straps, are made out of steel.

When should edge protectors be used?

An edge protector should be used when the load is easily susceptible to damage from the strap or chain being used, or if the load can damage the strap or chain in any way.

Are edge protectors recyclable?

Polyethylene, the common material used to make cargo protectors, is very easy to recycle. There are no other composite materials in it to cause any problems with recycling.

What are the key benefits of corner protectors?

The main benefits of corner protectors are their ability to protect not only the load but your equipment at the corners of your tie down so any abrupt or heavy force that is exerted in those areas does not cause any damage.

Good quality

I didn't know these corners existed but I'm glad I found them while searching MyTee's site. These corners are an improvement from the orginal rubberless steel corners. I'll definitely order more.
Joseph

Great grip and extension & price!
Greg

As my load size increases, I needed more corner protectors. This load pictured called for a 40’ trailer. I’m 36’, hence the need for additional corner protectors. A great item and fast delivery. I’ve since learned that you have a warehouse maybe an hour from me which explains the fast delivery.

There good

2nch I ordered winches, corner protectors and cople chain links. I was supposed to receive 40 corner protectors and received only 36, 4 short. For my new load line contract crucial to have 2 trucks with corners for 10pallets 20corners each. Customer service wrote to me that the investigation will take 7-10 business days. It's ot my fault that either fedex or mytee messed up. Why am supposed to backorder my business as it is not my fault. I provided photo of the count that has been delivered. No money back nor replacement!! Professional store would fix the issue with customer first than deal the rest later! Very frustrating!

SOLD THESE BEFORE,, NO PROBLEMS
Chris

Bought 2 sets last week & finally got to use them last night/today. Came back to the store to order more b edge protectors but currently have steel coils on my trailer. These really are a set it & forget it the of thing. The rubber helps from sliding around, I was able to secure both coils with 4 chains each really easily & pretty fast. I highly recommend these!
Chris

Bought 1 ratcheting winch bar in the past & recently bought 2 sets of these metal/black coil edge protectors as well as some 4 inch strap ratchets & 36” plastic V boards. Places a few orders online before & had shipped to home but was local in OH Thursday & Friday. Michelle helped me place & pick up some same day orders. Definitely won’t shop anywhere else for load securement items !
Jessee H

they work well with everything I've hauled so far. A couple of the products forced the protectors to expand out of shape, but they have returned to original shape just fine.
