Nearly every consumer good available to the public has one thing in common, transportation. Everything we buy had to be transported in some way. Whether it be a containership full of international cargo, railcar full of domestic crops, or tractor trailer full of merchandise going to your favorite store, they all need to be secured. Since 1960, Powerbrace has been providing lockrods for safe, easy-to-use, and reliable locking mechanisms for numerous applications. These lockrods can be seen on truck trailers, specialty trailers, truck bodies and intermodals providing positive anti-racking control in every direction. Although theft is a threat to the transit industry across the globe, Powerbrace’s commitment to help those secure their loads is unmatched.

Powerbrace sets themselves apart by their designs and quality offering more lockrod models than any other in the world. They commit to meeting or exceeding numerous standards set in both the US and Canada for containers and trailers. The extensive line of available models include options of stainless-steel, aluminum, and hot-dip galvanized steel. All models feature heavy duty, high yield (55,000 psi minimum) low alloy tubing. The products need maximum strength, optimum performance, and lasting durability. While numerous material finishes are available, hot-dip galvanized steel is the standard.

They have teamed with their galvanizer to achieve the best result possible. Special racking requirements to allow for maximized efficiencies reducing costs and storage standards have set their finished product on a stage by itself. Multiple galvanizers are used simultaneously to allow Powerbrace to satisfy the bolstering need within this industry. Not only are the lockrods being hot-dip galvanized; but the smaller levers, bushings, plates, etc. are being spin galvanized. These lockrods are designed and manufactured with durability and sustainability in mind. Any truck trailer or containership must withstand the harshest extremes in every corner of the globe. The galvanized coating offers uniformity in visual athletics and versatility to thrive in all environments available. Zinc being one of the most abundant natural resources available makes it the best choice to utilize in a market that will only continue to grow across the globe.
