OXGuard – Paperboard Edge Protection
Warehouse operations depend as much on safety and stability as they do on productivity. For managers and supervisors, finding simple, cost-effective ways to minimize product loss and prevent workplace accidents is vital. One overlooked tool that can dramatically boost efficiency? OXGuard
What Are Paperboard Edge Protectors?
OXGuard is made from 100% recyclable material, shaped into a sturdy “v” shape, and designed to reinforce the corners and edges of palletized goods. Available in assorted lengths and thicknesses, these protectors fit seamlessly into most warehouse handling systems and are easy to store, apply, and recycle.
How Edge Protectors Increase Pallet Stability
When goods are stacked and shrink-wrapped for transport or storage, the weakest points are often the corners. OXGuard edge protectors provide structural reinforcement at these vulnerable spots, helping:
- Distribute tension from strapping or stretch film evenly across the load
- Minimize crushing or deformation of boxes and cartons
- Reduce shifting and tilting during handling and transportation
This added stability allows for more secure stacking, meaning pallets can be stored higher without fear of collapse. The result? Better use of valuable vertical storage space and added protection for your products.
Enabling Safer, Smarter Stacking
Improperly stacked pallets are a leading cause of workplace injuries and lost inventory. OXGuard provides the rigid framework needed to stack pallets neatly and uniformly. Key benefits include:
- Even weight distribution across pallet loads, reducing tipping hazards
- Improved load uniformity, making it easier to use forklifts and pallet jacks safely
- Enhanced stacking height, maximizing warehouse capacity without sacrificing safety
For warehouse professionals seeking productivity improvements, the ability to safely stack more pallets in less space is a game-changer.
Lighter Weight, Greater Savings
OXGuard is significantly lighter than plastic alternatives, making it a cost-effective choice for shipping. The reduced weight helps lower transportation costs while maintaining the durability needed to protect goods in transit. This not only saves money but also supports more sustainable shipping practices.
- Made from recyclable materials, reducing environmental impact.
- Easier to handle and install due to their lightweight design.
- Ideal for protecting a wide range of products
