Abstract: An edge protector for shielding corners of cargo such as laminated panels or sheet material from damage by a tie down strap used mounted on a platform for shipment. The edge protector is preferably constructed from an aramid fiber with a polyurethane foam filler for cushioning. A plurality of buckle fasteners are sewn to the top surface of the edge protector to position the strap against movement during transportation. An abrasion resistant and cut resistant surface is provided on the edge protector for protection against the edges of the strap.
