FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got a few questions?
What are STAYHOLD™ Cargo Companions?
Stayhold is a new product range for securing loose items in your car boot or trunk. Useful for your shopping, holding suitcases, stopping bottles from rolling around and countless other uses. Your Stayholds grip the carpet in your car to prevent it from moving when an object pushes against it. We have a large Stayhold Classic and a smaller Stayhold Mini. Both work well on their own but also form a great team when used together.
How do they stick to the carpet?
Our Cargo Companions stick to the carpet in your car using extra strong hook tape strips. Similar to velcro this uses tiny hooks which catch the woven loops of the carpet.
What can I use them for?
You can use your Cargo Companions to secure almost any loose object in your car boot / trunk. It works really well with big and small items and you will discover new ways to use it the more you play with it.
What are the special features on my STAYHOLD™?
Stayholds feature hook strips on the bottom to make them adhere to carpet.
Dual, ergonomically designed, easy grip handles positioned on either end of the Stayhold Classic make removing your Stayhold from the carpet super easy. Using either one of the handles your Stayhold will peel away from the carpet in a continuous motion.
Using multiple Stayholds you can create compartments in your trunk tailored to fit whatever items you are carrying. These compartments are completely modular and are super easy to reposition every time you use your trunk.
Super strong, Stayholds are made from durable, toughened plastic.
Accessory expansion slots allow for the use of our Quickstraps™ or Utility Straps for holding small or awkward items. Convenient and versatile.
What size are they?
Stayhold Classic is about the size of a cat. 460 x 190 x 135 mm (18.1' x 7.48' x 5.31’)
Stayhold Mini is about the size of a kitten in a sitting position. 117 x 140 x 190 (4.6' x 5.5' x 7.5')
How strong are Stayholds?
Stayhold Cargo Companions are very strong.
Classic can hold up to 150kgs / 330lbs
Mini can hold up to 45kgs / 100lbs
What are they made from?
Stayhold is made from a custom blend of very durable, long lasting, recyclable plastic called polypropylene.
Can you clean your STAYHOLD™?
Yes, it is very easy to clean. As our Stayholds are made from a glossy plastic dirt and dust are very easy to remove. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and your Stayhold should look shiny and as good as new.
What should you NOT use your STAYHOLD™ for?
We do not advise that you use your Stayhold for holding excessively heavy, or really expensive objects such as a beer keg or a crystal vase. We also don't think it is a good idea to use a Stayhold to hold your children or dog in place.
Will STAYHOLD™ work with a gas cylinder?
Stayhold Classic works great with a regular domestic gas cylinder if you turn the it around and tuck it beneath the gas cylinder.
What if it doesn't work on the carpet in my car?
If it doesn't work on the carpet in your car your car must have a velour type carpet. Stayhold uses velcro and velcro works by using a hook and loop system. The carpet provides the loops for the hooks to grip. Some carpets are made using a non woven technique which does not create loops. Stayhold cannot grip these kinds of carpets. However, if you experience this, try using your Stayhold backwards and placing your loose objects on top of Stayholds flat surface. This uses the weight of the objects to give the Stayhold extra grip helps to prevent it from moving around. Another solution is to put a bit of extra carpet or a carpet mat into your trunk and your Stayhold should then stick perfectly. Now you can position this wherever you need to and place your loose objects on this mat using the Stayhold to keep them in place. This also has the added benefit of keeping your car carpet clean!
Will STAYHOLD™ work on non carpeted areas?
No, but as mentioned above, using a section of carpet or a carpet mat on a boot liner or other non carpeted area will allow your Stayhold to grip and mean that you can use it in a similar way as in a regular car.
Will STAYHOLD™ stick to the carpet in my house?
Stayhold will stick to a lot of house carpets, although some heavy pile and non woven carpets will not provide the grip Stayhold needs.
Using Stayhold in your house might be useful to prevent items moving around in the event that your house is
a) suspended from colourful balloons and floating to a magical land*
b) lifted up in a tornado and you meet a girl called Dorothy*
c) a boat on the rough seas*
* Stayhold does not take any responsibility if you find yourself suddenly in a Disney Pixar film, damage caused by wicked witches, tornados or if your house floats away.
Where else will my STAYHOLD™ be useful?
In your caravan / RV, on a yacht, and any other place where you need to stop things from moving around on a carpeted surface.
Is STAYHOLD™ water proof?
YES, perfect for use on your boat...(do boats have carpet?)
