Ty-Gard® systems
Two systems, one method: an adhesive band tensioned across the load and anchored to the container or trailer wall with Ty-Patch. Ty-Gard® for general cargo, Ty-Gard DS® for dangerous goods and general cargo.

Installation
Same four steps
Both systems install the same way, whichever your cargo requires.
Prepare the anchors, load the cargo, pull the band across the face of the load, tension it, then seal it with a patch. Each band takes about three minutes with the tensioning tool and a bonding roller.
