Kinedyne LLC has announced that it has been named the exclusive master distributor for VeeBoards, VeeBoards2Go and BrickGuards Brand Corner Protectors for the United States and Canada. As part of its agreement with the product’s manufacturer, Kinedyne will also be distributing the industry’s first patent-pending, stackable corner protectors.

The new stackable design allows the strap guide channels on each corner protector to nest securely on top of the next, enabling users to store the devices in a low-profile unit when not in use. The stacks take up less space and are much easier for flatbed trailer operators to secure and store than freestanding corner protectors. The stackable design will now be standard on all VeeBoards, VeeBoards2Go and BrickGuards Brand Corner Protectors.

Invented in 1986, VeeBoards Brand Corner Protectors were first introduced to the U.S. market in 2002. The products evenly distribute the mechanical force exerted by load securement straps and other tie-down assemblies, and help maintain the structural integrity of stacked cargo, thereby inhibiting payload travel and sliding, due to dynamic forces acting on the load, pushing it up, down, forward, backward and side to side. VeeBoards, VeeBoards2Go and BrickGuards Brand Corner Protectors are manufactured by Bartleet Trading International, LLC. The company, located in Rockwall, Texas, manufactures its corner protectors using a high-density, virgin polyethylene blend.

“Before we introduced VeeBoards Brand Corner Protectors, most corner protection devices were homemade wood assemblies or bent metal, which widely varied in structure, safety and effectiveness,” Steve Bartleet, president and chief executive officer of Bartleet Trading International, LLC, said. “With our new stackable design, we have continued our legacy of providing the industry with intelligently designed equipment that not only promotes safety, but is durable and easy to use.”
