Corner & Edge Protectors
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 corner and edge protectors based on the kinds of cargo you normally carry.
Corner and edge 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. Corner and edge protectors may seem like small and insignificant pieces of plastic or metal, but they can be lifesavers. Buy your corner and edge protectors at Mytee if you are looking for high-quality products at low prices.

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.
Corner and edge 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.
At Mytee Products, our edge protectors and corner protectors are made in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, so you can choose the protectors that best suit your needs. For instance, our metal corner protectors are made of stainless steel. Some of our stainless steel corner protectors have rubber linings for extra cushion, while our black metal stainless steel edge protector has a corner recess feature, to better protect the edge of your cargo.
We also have plastic corner protectors, corner braces, coil edge protectors and rubber pads. Read on to learn which protector might work best for you.
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. So, for instance, 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, corner 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.
