Kinedyne Canada, a leading manufacturer of cargo-control products, has launched Steadymate, a system to secure motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, boats, snowmobiles, pickup trucks, camping gear, bicycles and adventure toys.

Now, recreational sport customers can tie down their equipment with the same confidence as Kinedyne's heavy-duty trucking customers have when transporting heavy loads, the company said. Steadymate is a complete line of products and accessories for tying down recreational vehicles. The designers developed products to easily store gear, as well as scratch-prevention devices to protect the vehicles while in transit.

''Our customers invest a lot of money in their recreational toys,'' says Jim Hillis, Steadymate product manager. ''The experts at Steadymate understand that investment. We have created products that owners can 100-per-cent rely on to transport their recreational vehicles safely, simply and without harming the finish.''

Steadymate features the Cinchtite series -- a range of industrial strength tie-downs with a weight capacity of 2,500 pounds to 5,000 pounds. The entire series has either a cam or ratchet tensioning device to ensure safe and secure transport. Some tie-downs come with soft loops to protect the equipment's chrome, and spring-loaded snap hooks, which are guaranteed to stay fastened when used properly.

Steadymate also offers specialty products for boats, cars and pickup trucks, and a full line of accessories to further protect owners' toys and serve their individual securement needs.
