Common uses

Buyers use corner & edge protectors for flatbed, step deck and van load securement, owner-operators building a DOT-compliant kit and replacing worn or out-of-service tie-downs. Add up the working load limit of every tie-down: under FMCSA rules the total must be at least half the weight of the cargo.

How to choose corner & edge protectors

Choose by the edge you are protecting and the strap or chain width. Plastic protectors are light; steel and rubber protectors take heavier chain loads.

Working load limits in this section run from 3,300 lbs to 3,300 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Check the working load limit. Use the WLL printed on the tag, not the break strength, when planning securement.
2. Pick the right end fitting. Flat hooks suit flatbed rub rails, wire hooks and snap hooks suit D-rings, and e-track fittings suit vans.
3. Protect the strap. Use edge protectors wherever webbing crosses a sharp edge.

Materials compared

• Aluminum (22 products) — Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant, which makes it easy to handle and install.
• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) (18 products) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.
• Polyester (10 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• Steel (6 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• High Density Polyethylene (6 products) — High-density polyethylene is tough, light and does not rot or absorb water.

Specifications to compare

• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.

Before you buy

• Add up the working load limits of all tie-downs against the cargo weight.
• Check that the end fitting matches the anchor points on your trailer.
• Make sure the length reaches over the load with tail left to tension.

Safety and care

• Replace cracked protectors.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
