Corner protectors are imperative to ensure the safety of your load. Whether you need to transport raw materials or finished goods, it should be done safely and properly to ensure maximum protection. Even the slightest damage to your cargo can result in heavy monetary losses. Plus, the time spent on transporting a fresh batch of cargo will further delay your business’ operations.

Using protection measures is a good idea to avoid such mishaps. While there are numerous protection measures available in the market, corner protectors are by far the most useful. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly corner protectors are and how they are used to gain benefits.

What are corner protectors?

Corner protectors are cargo securing units that can be placed at various areas to ensure that no damage is done to the cargo being transported. They are made of highly durable material to ensure that it doesn’t crack under impact. Plus, they can be easily bent around to fit the purpose. Since they return right back to their shape, you need not worry about breaking them. We highly advise investing in corner protectors that are injection moulded since it increases their tensile strength and impact resistance.

Injection moulded corner protectors, specifically the Safeload Corner Protectors, are stack-efficient since they can be placed one on top of the other. This way, storing them when not in use is incredibly easy. Corner protectors are also water-resistant, so they do not get damaged in harsh rainy weather. They also come in various sizes and lengths to suit your requirements. Let’s have a look at the available sizes that corner protectors usually come in.

What sizes do corner protectors come in?

Different needs require different lengths for corner protectors. For larger areas that need a stronger resistance, corner protectors come in two different sizes.

  • 2 metres in length that can support a weight of about 3.4 kgs or 7.5 lbs.
  • 1.2 metres in length that can support a weight of about 2.5 kgs or 5.5 lbs.

For smaller areas that cannot contain a lot of cargo and thus need smaller corner protectors, two different sizes are most commonly available.

  • 0.6 metres in length that can support a weight of about 1.2 kgs or 2.65 lbs.
  • 0.3 metres in length that can support a weight of about 0.75 kgs or 1.65 lbs.

We highly recommend using ratchets and straps in addition with corner protectors to add extra protection layers to your cargo.
