Edge protection corners for load securing

Plastic edge protectors facilitate the securing and protection of cargo during loading, unloading, and transport. These corner protectors are available as either angled protectors or edge protector strips and are installed between the edge of the cargo and the webbing or strapping used. This protects corners and sharp or sensitive edges of the cargo from damage, as well as lashing straps, tensioning straps, and strapping from wear and tear. Plastic edge protectors offer several advantages over those made of cardboard, steel, aluminum, wood, or foam: they are lightweight, reusable, stackable, dimensionally stable, and weather- and temperature-resistant. Furthermore, edge protectors are an essential component of proper load securing, as their protective function ensures the integrity of the lashing materials.

Edge protection corners as part of load securing technology

The use of edge protectors is part of the "recognized techniques" for securing cargo. Therefore, their use is mandated by laws, regulations, and guidelines. Section 22 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) requires that cargo be secured during transport in such a way that it cannot roll, slip, or even fall off the load carrier. The law stipulates that the "recognized techniques" for load securing must be applied. These techniques are contained in regulations and guidelines and are part of European standards (DIN EN), publications of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), the VDI Guideline 2700, and information from the employers' liability insurance associations. DIN EN 12195-2 "Lashing straps made of man-made fibers" indicates that lashing straps and strapping bands must be protected from friction, abrasion, and damage from sharp edges by using protective covers and/or edge protectors. According to the DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) information sheet "Metal Construction Assembly Work," lifting slings must not be pulled over sharp edges unless they are adequately protected by edge protectors. The German Social Accident Insurance Institution for Transport and Traffic (BG Verkehr) published the guideline "Loading and Securing" for professional drivers, which recommends the use of corner protectors to reduce force loss at the deflections of the strap or webbing and to protect the lashing materials.
