A dramatic reduction of inbound damages have been noted on all distribution center moves and most importantly, on the long intermodal lane from Greenville, SC to Redlands, CA due to KICK STOPS securement of the freight. In addition to being more effective than other load securement methods, KICK STOPS is saving money in supplies and warehouse labor. KICK STOPS are a fraction of the airbags and Logistick costs and to apply them at the distribution centers takes significantly less time. In over 30 years of being in distribution center environments, we have not seen any freight provider or dunnage supplier actually come into the facility and watch how loading is actually being performed and offer genuine continuous improvements on loading techniques. I was very impressed with offering alternate methods of pallet placement in the trailers to further stabilize the freight.

We started using KICK STOPS in December 2022 and have had very good success with them; including heavy use during the recent full pallet MVM promo with Costco. I know that other sites are also shipping to Costco, and one of Costco’s points of emphasis is reduction of dunnage and waste. We have a long history of usage now, and can provide plenty of information as needed. Our track record with Costco has been excellent. The retention devices can be used on wood floor trailers and containers, and in reefer trucks. KICK STOPS also develops custom loading patterns on request, based on the weights and numbers of pallets typically shipped.

We really like using the Kickstops and so far, so good! No issues to report! For our warehouse, it’s the “best thing since sliced bread” 😉
