Kinedyne recently released an expansive 50th anniversary-themed catalog and video, which are available on the company’s website.
The new 2018 catalog features 83 new products, several new product categories and more than 800 total SKUs.
The catalog and video recount Kinedyne’s progress over its 50-year history and highlight the company’s product innovation over five decades of serving the cargo control needs of commercial and military customers. The company also used the occasion of its 50th anniversary as a catalyst to formulate new mission, vision and values statements to set the tone for its future focus.
Since its last product catalog was released, Kinedyne has expanded its role as “The Cargo Control People!” to include cargo access solutions. With the introduction of its Kin-Slider and Kin-Sider curtain-side cargo access system, load-rated curtain-side access system and new aerial access sliding roof system, Kinedyne aims to take advantage of market segment growth, particularly in the area of eCommerce and last-mile delivery.
“Over the last 50 years, Kinedyne has set the pace with innovative products that have helped the industries we serve become safer while making it possible to achieve higher levels of overall supply chain productivity,” said Dan Schlotterbeck, president of Kinedyne. “The new products and themes represented in our 50th-anniversary catalog capture our sense of excitement as we transition from celebrating our remarkable history to creating a dynamic new future of cargo management technology.”
New catalog additions include RHINO MAX winch straps and ratchet straps that upgrade Kinedyne’s award-winning abrasion-resistant Rhino Web line, giving RHINO MAX straps a higher working load limit. RHINO MAX load securement straps are treated with the same coating that Kinedyne says made Rhino Web a favorite of fleets and owner-operators looking for a strap capable of standing up to heavy-duty environments.
The K-FORCE brand of winch, ratchet and logistics straps is a new offering. Like the RHINO MAX straps, K-FORCE straps are engineered to manage heavier loads with more polyester material in the body of the strap than Kinedyne’s standard webbing.
Other newcomers to the catalog include:
- The patented Ease-Z Winch Bar that rotates 360 degrees for leverage and to accommodate various clearance requirements
- THE E-HOOK brand storage system, also patented, designed to reduce freight damage, increase revenue and turn empty wall space into usable storage areas
- VeeBoards, BrickGuards and the patented VeeBoards2Go Brand Corner Protectors that evenly distribute the mechanical force exerted by load securement straps and other tie-down assemblies, and help maintain the structural integrity of stacked cargo
Kinedyne also added new upgrades, features and expanded lines of traditional product favorites, including Kaptive Beam Double Decking Systems, Rubber-Coated Steel Corner Protectors, Retract-A-Bar hybrid jack bar and load lock, Trailer Door Safety Straps, Heavy-Duty Strap Bands, Heavy-Duty D-Rings, Lever Binder Locks, Grip Link Tire Chains and Reflective Conspicuity Flags.
“We’ve grown and refined our offerings in virtually all of our conventional product categories, including flatbed, interior van, webbing, hardware and tire chains,” Schlotterbeck said. “Kinedyne’s recent expansion into curtain-side cargo access technology is complementary to our reputation as ‘The Cargo Control People!’ and ushers in a new era of service to our industry.”
The new catalog provides content in three languages, includes a comprehensive parts index, features color-coded section identification and is three-hole drilled for compatibility with standard catalog racks.
