ANTI-SLIP MATS
Increase safety:
Anti-slip mats are essential for increasing safety when transporting loads. The friction between the cargo and the load bed plays a critical role in securing your loads safely. By using an anti-skid mat, you can significantly increase the coefficient of friction, which reduces the outward forces on the load during transportation.
Save money:
In addition to enhancing safety, anti-slip mats can save you money by decreasing the total pretension force needed to tie down cargo. This means you need less securing means necessary to secure your cargo. Investing in an anti-skid mat is a minor expense for a significant result.
Save time:
Anti-slip mats also save time. They can be rolled out and trimmed quickly, reducing the loading time considerably. Additionally, reducing the amount of securing means needed can also contribute to a shorter loading time.
Anti-slip mats, anti-slip stripes, and anti-slip tiles are used to prevent cargo from sliding in the load bed and between loads. Anti-slip mats are standard equipment for load securing and professional transportation, including road, rail, air, and sea transport. Using anti-slip mats improves safety, saves valuable loading time, and reduces the need for tie-down straps.
To optimize the anti-slip effect, ensure that the contact surfaces are clean and greaseproof.

Great forces affect the load during transport, especially during braking. As much as 80% of the weight of the cargo moves forward during braking. 50% of the weight burst to the left, right, and back. An anti-slip mat (with a coefficient of friction of a minimum of 0.6 μ) has a considerable impact on the forces.
Here is an example with a load of 8000 kg (gravity center in the middle of the load)
Metal on wood
80% of 8000 kg= 6400 kg
0,4 μ (coefficient of friction) x 8000 kg= 3200 kg
Total forces to absorb: 3200 kg
Amount of tie-down straps needed*:
3200: 320 = 10 tie-down straps
* To know the amount of tie-down straps, divide the total of the forces by the Standard Tension Force (STF) of the tie-down strap.
Metal on an anti-slip mat
80% van 8000 kg= 6400 kg
0,6 μ (coefficient of friction) x 8000 kg= 4800 kg
Total forces to absorb: 1600 kg
Amount of tie-down straps needed:
1600: 320 = 5 tie-down straps
