Cargo Guards The Ultimate in Cargo Protection The Cargo Guard has proven itself with over 440,000 sold to date. Trucking companies around the country are using Cargo Guards to protect their shipments. First designed to protect the very sensititive tin plate coil. Reduces insurance claims. All tinplate and aluminum producers now require the use of Cargo Guards. This device is manufactured from 11 gauge galvanized steel and includes raised chain guides and a 3/8” thick synthetic rubber liner. The steel is designed to deform if standard chain load tensions are exceeded, alerting the loader that he is applying excessive binder force. The rubber formulation resists cutting and has a high coefficient of friction to reduce load shifting. Excellent performance on flat and square edges as well as curved surfaces such as coil eyes.
