Edge protectors and edge protection strips for load securing

Edge protection is important to avoid damaging or denting the lashed goods and the cardboard boxes. Larger plastic edge protection strips such as the classic orange strips made of honeycomb plastic are also intended to protect the load securing equipment, e.g. the lashing strap, from damage and thus ensure transport safety. In our load securing online shop, you can buy edge protection angles of different sizes, either made of cardboard or plastic.

Cardboard edge protection vs. plastic edge protection

Cardboard angles are primarily used as single-use angles. The edge protection products used for securing heavy goods (e.g. concrete parts, paper rolls, etc.) are mostly plastic edge protectors and are designed for reusable use.  Many edge protection strips (both the larger cardboard variants and plastic edge protection) have guide slots through which the strapping band or the ratchet strap is guided. The edge protection therefore always remains in the correct position and cannot slip.

In our assortment, we have the right edge protection for all lashing strapslashings and strapping bands. Here too, there are single-use and reusable variants. Let us advise you. We look forward to your inquiry!

The role of edge protectors in load securing

Edge protectors play a crucial role in protecting your goods during transport. These special protective devices serve not only to secure and stabilize cargo on trucks, in containers or on ships, but also help to prevent damage to packaging and cargo. Whether you are active in the logistics industry, transporting construction or industrial goods - our edge protectors offer an efficient solution to bring your valuable products safely to their destination. Learn more about the diverse application possibilities and materials of our high-quality edge protectors and how you can extend the lifespan of your packaging materials and ensure compliance with legal regulations through their use.

The safe transport of goods over long distances represents a constant challenge, especially when it comes to protecting the cargo against shocks and vibrations. Edge protectors are indispensable helpers here, distributing pressure evenly and thus minimizing the risk of pressure marks and cracks in the cargo. They are particularly in demand where sharp edges could strain the material. From heavy industry to fine glassworks – our edge protectors adapt flexibly to a wide variety of needs and material types - if nothing from our standard assortment is suitable, please contact us for a customized production.

This ensures a safe arrival of your products, regardless of road conditions or weather. By using our reliable edge protectors you not only increase the safety of your cargo, but also optimize the entire logistics process through fewer damage claims and thus lower costs and effort in damage processing.

Materials and types of edge protectors

Edge protectors are available in a variety of materials and shapes, each offering specific properties and advantages. Plastic angles offer a lightweight but robust option and are particularly resistant to moisture and chemicals, making them ideal for use in the chemical and food industries. Cardboard edge protectors are less durable and are often only used once. Depending on the application, you should choose either a soft or a hard edge protector.

In addition to material differences, there are also different types of edge protectors tailored to different areas of application. L-shaped angles are most commonly used and cover a wide range of applications. U-shaped angles offer more comprehensive protection by enclosing the edges from three sides. Flexible angles can be adapted to different shapes and are particularly useful for irregularly shaped or round objects. The choice of the right edge protector depends heavily on the type of cargo, transport conditions and specific safety requirements. By making the right choice, companies can not only protect their cargo effectively, but also ensure compliance with safety standards and legal regulations.

Industries and application areas of edge protectors & edge protection strips

Edge protectors find application in a variety of industries, where they contribute to the securing and protection of the cargo. In the logistics industry, they are essential for the safe transport of pallets and boxes by preventing strapping bands and straps from cutting into the cargo. In construction, they protect sensitive building materials such as tiles and glass from damage during transport and storage. Automotive manufacturers use edge protectors to secure painted and sensitive components such as bumpers and body parts during delivery to the assembly lines. Furthermore, edge protectors play a crucial role in agriculture, where they help to minimize damaged packaging during the transport of fertilizers and other agricultural products. Even in the electronics industry, where precision and protection against mechanical influences are essential, these angles provide additional protection for sensitive components such as screens and servers.

These diverse deployment options underline the importance of edge protectors as a critical factor for logistics.
