After soliciting customer feedback, Kinedyne Corp. has unveiled a new line of tarp ties designed to meet what its customers said they were looking for in a tarp tie.

The line of Pro-Grade tarp ties followed a survey conducted by Kinedyne to research the needs of its clientele. According to the company, the new line meets the top-three criteria customers said they wanted addressed: price, product durability/longevity, and the ability to use the product in cold climates.

“We took the most valued attributes from the survey and conducted a series of environmental, performance and laboratory tests,” said Larry Harrison, vice president of sales & marketing. “We can say with confidence that our new Polar and Tiger tarp ties outperform our competitors’ straps in ultimate pull and strength tests and will surpass the expectations of any tarp tie user.”

The Polar natural rubber tarp tie with a blue logo is designed to withstand severe weather conditions. The Tiger EPDM rubber tarp tie is synthetic and includes an orange logo. It is designed for daily exposure to heat found in warmer climates.

Both products are available in standard sizes including 9-, 15-, 21-, 31-, and 41-in. lengths. Each is fitted with removable S-hooks with a crimped S-hook style available upon request, Kinedyne said.
