Strap Protectors

To protect ratchet straps, use dedicated strap protectors or edge protectors at contact points where straps wrap around sharp corners or rough surfaces. This prevents abrasion and cutting of the strap webbing, extending its service life. Foam and paperboard edge protectors are both effective options depending on load weight and surface type.

A strap clamp is placed around bundled items or strapping to hold them securely in position. Position the clamp over the strap at the desired tension point, then tighten according to the manufacturer's instructions. Using strap protectors alongside clamps helps prevent surface damage to goods and reduces wear on the strap itself during transit.

Strap and edge protectors are available in light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty ratings. Light-duty options suit lighter packaged goods and standard distribution use, while medium-duty and heavy-duty protectors are designed for heavier palletized loads and more demanding shipping and warehousing environments.

Strap protectors and edge protectors are commonly made from paper or paperboard and foam. Paperboard options provide firm, structured corner protection ideal for palletized freight, while foam protectors offer cushioning for surface-sensitive goods. The right material depends on the weight of the load and the fragility of the packaged product.
