SKIDMATES
Skid-Mate cushioning devices come in five varieties, color-coded to indicate load characteristics:
Skid-Mates and Skid-Mate+Plus These unique pallet cushions are instantly recognizable by their bright colors and donut shape. With a combination of Skid-Mates and Skid-Mate+Plus shock-protection cushions, your pallet dampening, handling, shipping, and warehousing worries are minimized. Plus, these pallet cushioning devices are incredibly cost-effective and durable. They accommodate any loads: specialty and customized pallets, heavy duty pallet loads, fabricated pallets, etc. The air-damped cushioning technology allows you to stack any type of industrial, commercial, or military load without fear. With especially heavy or sensitive pallet loads, just add extra Skid-Mates and Skid-Mate+Plus cushions where the shock protection and support is needed most. Nothing compares with the Skid-Mate and Skid-Mate+Plus air-dampened pallet cushions for protecting your shipments from shock
and vibration. We know you’ll find the combination of features unbeatable for your pallet transport needs. Easy to Mount. Both Skid-Mate and Skid-Mate+Plus air-damped cushioning devices are easily attached to a pallet base with a 5/16"-18 UNC bolt and our standard T-nut. Durable: At maximum load, Skid-Mate cushions can endure sliding over 3,000 feet (914 meters) of concrete floor and floor joints. Shock-Protection. Correctly loaded Skid-Mate pallet cushions transmit only a 15 G shock when rotationally dropped from 24 inches (610 mm). High/Low Temperature Storage. Skid-Mate cushions are suitable for storage at –40° F to +130° F (-40° C to +54° C). With proper air-damped cushioning devices, you don’t need to use expensive air-ride vans to protect your goods from shock and vibration. Skid-Mate and Skid-Mate+Plus units allow 4-way entry design. Easy-On: Skid-Mate and Skid-Mate+Plus pallet cushions are simple and easy to attach. With most applications, you just drill holes in the pallets to accommodate the standard 5/16" bolts that screw into the cushion centers. When using a Skid-Mates without a T-nut, you may prefer to use 3/8" hex bolt with a couple of flat washers and a lock nut. Last-minute add-on applications are often handled with lag screws, and you can use a carriage bolt to "sandwich" the cushioning devices with a bottom pallet cross slat on the bottom. |
