Welcome to the technical section of our website. You, who have an interest in the technical aspects of Marvee, will understand instinctively that an attempt to be complete within a website would not be practical. We trust, however, that you will be provided with enough salient technical details to encourage you to contact our engineering and technical department.

There is no question that cargo securement must comply with the North American Cargo Securement Standard; this standard constitutes the very foundation of safety in the trucking industry. Contained within the NACSS are a series of performance criteria which indicate the amount of “force” the cargo must be able to withstand in the forward, backward, upward, and sideways directions. The “force” is the force of gravity – “G” being the symbol used – and can be measured in weight.

The calculations of G Forces required by the Regulatory Securement System, those accomplished by the Marvee Securement System, as well as a comparison between them, are contained in the “G Force Calculation” section. You will find the percentage increases (up to 105%) accomplished by Marvee to be extremely significant. So significant, in fact, that Marvee must be strongly considered in all matters related to safety in transportation.

Independent Laboratory Testing and Finite Element Analysis to determine WLL has been performed with excellent results. Some of the findings are:

• At a compressive load of +19,500 lbs there were no failures
• WLL of 5600 lbs @ 104F;
• Maximum deflection = 0.267”; and,
• A +3:1 safety factor was noted.
