Buy anti-slip mats for load securing: Anti-slip mat truck & industry
Anti-slip mats are an essential component of any load securing concept. Our mats made of PU-bonded rubber granulate can be used not only on the loading area of the truck but also on trailers and in smaller vans and sprinters as well as 7.5 t trucks.
The mats and anti-slip mat pads prevent cargo from slipping thanks to their anti-slip function, thereby avoiding dangerous property damage and personal injury. An anti-slip mat can also serve as edge protection. In addition to the articles that are directly visible to you in the Sandax shop, we also offer a large assortment of anti-slip mat pads, strips, and anti-slip mat rolls upon request. You can find our anti-slip mat product range and more detailed information here.
If you cannot find the right dimensions for your truck, van, etc., we will gladly accept your request for individually manufactured anti-slip mats.
Overview of anti-slip mat rolls and pads
The following products are always available from stock. All other sizes can be delivered. We will gladly prepare an individual offer for you.
What are anti-slip mats?
Anti-slip mats are specially developed mats manufactured from granulates to provide maximum slip resistance between the cargo and the loading surface. These mats are available in various forms such as by the metre, rolls, pads, and strips, and can be cut to the desired size, allowing for flexible application. The primary function of anti-slip mats is to increase friction and thus prevent the shifting of goods during transport. This is particularly important when transporting heavy and irregularly shaped or very sensitive objects, where secure anchoring is crucial.Safety and compliance
Safety during load securing is of utmost importance, and our anti-slip mats are designed to meet this need. They not only comply with strict industry standards, but also provide the peace of mind that your cargo remains secure during transport. The mats are designed to offer high slip resistance and to effectively secure the cargo, which is crucial for preventing the cargo from shifting during transport.Areas of application for anti-slip mats
Anti-slip mats are an essential tool in numerous industries and fields of application. Their flexibility and versatility make them an indispensable element for the stabilization of cargo in a wide variety of situations. Some of the most common fields of application are listed below:- Transport and logistics: In the transport sector, anti-slip mats are fundamental to stabilize cargo during transit. They are widely used on the loading beds of trucks, in containers, on trailers, or in vans, under pallets, or on ships to prevent goods from shifting.
- Industrial production and assembly: In manufacturing facilities and assembly areas, anti-slip mats help to securely position tools, materials, and products, which increases workplace safety and operational efficiency.
- Storage and racking systems: In warehouses, anti-slip mats increase the stability of stored items on shelves or in storage zones, especially in environments prone to movement and vibrations.
- Private use and leisure activities: Anti-slip mats also prove their worth in the private sector, such as in garages or workshops, through their versatile application possibilities.

Care and maintenance of anti-slip mats
Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the durability and effectiveness of your anti-slip mats:- Appropriate storage: Store your mats in a location that is dry and clean to protect them from the harmful effects of moisture and direct sunlight. Long-term exposure to UV light and moisture can degrade the properties of the material.
- Regular inspections: Perform recurring checks on the mats to detect signs of wear or potential damage early. Mats with visible damage should be replaced immediately to ensure the highest level of safety.
Frequently Asked Questions About Anti-Slip Mats
Below you will find important questions and answers about anti-slip mats, anti-slip pads, anti-slip mat rolls, and their use in professional cargo securing.
What are anti-slip mats?
Anti-slip mats are friction-enhancing pads placed between the loading surface and the cargo. They increase friction and help prevent pallets, crates, machinery, wire mesh containers, and other transported goods from sliding.
What are anti-slip mats used for in cargo securing?
Anti-slip mats are used on the loading floors of trucks, trailers, vans, Sprinter vans, 7.5-tonne trucks, and in some cases shipping containers. They reduce the risk of cargo sliding during braking, acceleration, cornering, or vibration.
What advantages do anti-slip mats offer during transport?
Anti-slip mats increase the coefficient of sliding friction between the cargo and the loading surface. This helps keep the load more stable and can make additional securing measures, such as lashing straps, more effective. They can also help prevent transport damage and dangerous cargo movement.
What material are Sandax anti-slip mats made from?
Many Sandax anti-slip mats are made from polyurethane (PU)-bonded rubber granules, including REGUPOL® 7210 or SAN material. These materials are durable, reusable, and suitable for professional applications in transport, logistics, industry, and the trades.
What does the coefficient of sliding friction mean for anti-slip mats?
The coefficient of sliding friction indicates how effectively an anti-slip mat helps prevent cargo from sliding across the loading surface. Generally, a higher coefficient means greater resistance to sliding. The Sandax product range includes anti-slip mats with stated coefficients of approximately 0.6 and 0.65.
What types of anti-slip mats are available?
Anti-slip mats are available as pads, strips, and rolls. Pads can be placed under individual load contact points, while mats supplied in rolls can be cut to size and are especially practical for regularly securing cargo of different dimensions.
When should I use anti-slip mat pads?
Anti-slip mat pads are useful when friction needs to be increased at specific cargo contact points. They are particularly suitable for pallets, machinery, crates, wire mesh containers, or other loads supported at individual points.
When are anti-slip mat rolls a good choice?
Anti-slip mat rolls are a good choice when mats need to be cut to different lengths regularly. Roll material is versatile, space-saving to store, and well suited to freight companies, warehouses, workshops, industrial operations, and recurring loading processes.
What thicknesses are available for anti-slip mats?
The Sandax product range includes anti-slip mats in thicknesses of 4 mm and 8 mm. The 4 mm mats are particularly easy to handle and flexible, while 8 mm mats are often used for higher loads or more heavily stressed contact points.
Do anti-slip mats need to be combined with lashing straps?
In many cases, yes. Anti-slip mats increase friction but do not automatically replace other cargo securing equipment. Particularly with heavy, tall, or tip-prone loads, anti-slip mats should be combined with lashing straps, mechanical load restraint, or positive-fit load securing.
Can anti-slip mats also be used for edge protection?
Yes, depending on the application, an anti-slip mat can also serve as a protective layer or provide edge protection where suitable. It can help protect sensitive surfaces and reduce direct contact between cargo, the loading surface, or securing equipment.
How should anti-slip mats be used correctly?
Anti-slip mats should be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, or loose dirt. Position them directly beneath the cargo's contact points. Make sure the cargo actually rests on the mats and that the mats are not folded, displaced, or damaged.
Are anti-slip mats reusable?
Yes, many anti-slip mats can be reused provided they are undamaged. Before each reuse, inspect them for cracks, excessive wear, deformation, contamination, or material damage. Damaged mats should no longer be used for cargo securing.
Are anti-slip mats available in custom sizes?
Yes. In addition to standard sizes, Sandax offers custom anti-slip mats upon request. Custom dimensions are useful when specific loading surfaces, pallets, machines, or transport processes require a precise fit.
Can I buy anti-slip mats directly from Sandax?
Yes, you can buy anti-slip mats, pads, and rolls directly from the Sandax online shop. Many standard sizes are available from stock. If the size you need is not listed in the shop, Sandax can provide advice and custom-made anti-slip mats.
