Steel Corner Protector 1 3/4"-2" — Edge Protector for Chain & Straps

A corner protector sits between a tie-down and a sharp load edge so the webbing, cable, or chain rides over a rounded steel corner instead of a cutting edge. This one is 12-gauge steel, sized for 1 3/4"-2" webbing, cable, and chain, and weighs 1.15 lbs, light enough to carry a handful in the truck for whatever the load needs. The corner recess holds the tie-down centered instead of letting it slide off the edge under tension.

Federal cargo securement rules require edge protection wherever a tie-down passes over a corner or edge sharp enough to cut or abrade it, so this is standard equipment on any load with exposed steel or wood corners, not an optional extra. Set one at every point a strap or chain crosses a 90-degree edge, and check it after loading. A protector that's slipped out of position does nothing for the webbing underneath it, so a quick visual check before the drive is worth the thirty seconds it takes.
