Anti-slip coating
Elastomeric coating
The elastomer coating on the top deck of the pallet consists of a 2-component polyurethane coating. Therefore, a rubber-like glossy surface with excellent non-slip properties is created.
Elastomer-coated stripes
In this case, the elastomer coating is not applied over the entire surface but distributed on three strips. An anti-slip effect is only possible, however, when the load is in contact with the elastomer strips.
Grip paint or silica sand
Grip paint and silica sand result in a fine, grainy texture on the top deck of the pallet. Therefore, the pallet maintains particularly good anti-slip properties.
Other options
Fully enclosed design
Effortless to clean and perfectly suited for food, hygiene, and cleanroom environments.
Reinforced with metal
Built-in metal tubes provide enhanced stability, making it ideal for high-rack storage.
