subject: Protecting Your Investment With Edge Protectors [print this page] Plenty of industries have their humble superstars the little bits of equipment that make sure a much larger industry ticks over without shedding unnecessary money. In the car industry that cap is awarded to the plastic sheeting they put on doors when new vehicles are in transit. In the webbing and haulage industries, the same accolade goes to the humble edge Protectors .
To understand just how important to haulage, delivery and storage not to mention the webbing and strapping industry itself the edge protector is, it is best to paint a picture of a world where edge Protectors do not exist.
Imagine what would happen if every heavy load, which required you to securely strap a bale or bulky item in place, resulted in the thick fabric of the webbing fraying along the edges. When a strap is tensioned the edge of the load bites into the webbing, with every upward and sideward movement while in transit, the edge of a load could potentially start to cut through the webbing one strand at a time. Once enough strands have been damaged, even the strongest of webbing becomes useless and eventually breaks.
Edge protectors dont just prevent the cargos weight from splitting the straps: they also prevent the straps from damaging the cargo. The forces at work when a heavy item is secured by strapping will always leave an indentation on the item. Edge Protectors are there to ensure that the surface and shape of the cargo is never imprinted with the marks of the straps used to secure it.
Again, in a world without edge Protectors there would be an awful lot of money spent on refunding customers who had ordered cargo that turned up damaged. That simple little plastic clip, which can even be clipped onto the webbing after cargo is securely in place, is responsible for saving money no industry can afford to lose.
