Grain, feed and pet food move as bulk bags, sacks and totes by rail and intermodal trailer, secured to the wall with Ty-Gard DS®.

Problem
Bulk bags and sacks shift and tear in transit
Grain, feed and pet food move as FIBCs, 50-pound sacks and totes, loose-stacked in containers and trailers. Braking and rail coupling impacts push the load toward the doors, and a bag that tears against the wall spills product and forces a reload. One-way wood blocking has to be rebuilt for every load and leaves debris at the dock.
- — Bulk bags and sacks migrate toward the doors under braking and coupling impacts
- — A torn bag spills product across the floor and forces a reload
- — One-way wood blocking must be rebuilt every load and leaves debris at the dock
