Product SpecificationsQcap1

Norseman Quick-Cap Bracing System is a fully engineered system for bracing containerized shipments. The system is 100% recyclable with no special disposal conditions.


Increased Bracing Strength:

  • This engineered and patent pending bracing system allows for a 2x4 wood brace to be placed on it's edge increasing it's bending strength by 2.25 times and it's resistance to deflection (stiffness) by 5.5 times than on the flat.
  • The 2x4 brace on edge is also significantly stronger (1.7x) and stiffer (3.5x) than a 2x6 on the flat.
  • The Norseman Easy Brace System is a viable and less costly alternative to the use of 4 steel bracing bars.

Easy to Install:

  • Quick-Cap braces eliminate the need for ties to secure the brace to the bulkhead as the Quick-Caps friction fit into the 'U' channel of the container self supporting the wood brace (ties may be required for tilt loading).

Multiple Applications:

  • Any containerized bulk shipments using Norseman Corrugated or Fabric Bulkheads.
  • Any containerized bulk shipments using Norseman Container Liners.
  • Containerized shipments for FIBC or bagged shipments.
  • For securing other freight shipments requiring bracing at the door end.

System Requirements & Specifications:

  • 2x4 lumber - No. 2 BTR SPF KD HT and ISPM 15 certified.
  • Norseman Quick-Caps (*patent pending*).
  • 4-6 braces required for 20ft. Containers depending on product density and load limitations.
