Part Number:  20677

    Description:

      This small plastic, disposable retainer secures both 1.25” & 1.50” nonmetallic, disposable strapping to

      existing boxcar interior sidewall anchors, replacing the standard loop-n-knot method of securement.

     Testing:

      ARR, G.I.S. No. 681 specifies that “joined strapping is to have a minimum joint strength of 2,970 lbs.”

      Both IRECO and AAR test results show that the strapping begins to break between 3,500 – 4,000 lbs. for

      both the loop-n-knot method and the IRECO Strap Retainer method. The AAR also performed cycle-tests to

      verify that the retainer will not fall out as the system cycles between tightened and slackened states. Several

      trial runs containing paper rolls have been successfully completed.

     Benefits:

          at the wall anchor.

• Remove the Retainer in seconds at destination. Save significant removal time, no need for cutting

          or burning strap knots off the wall anchors.

• Safe Use.  Since no cutting of knots is needed, the chance for personal injury is minimized and the otherwise

          inevitable damage to the car wall paint is eliminated.

• No slack in tie-down system.  The knot method produces up to 8-inches of slack, per anchor point,

          as the knots tighten and slip during coupling impacts.  The IRECO Retainer allows no slippage and contains

          no inherent slack.

• The Retainer can be reused, but is priced such that it can be considered disposable.
