STABUMAX® Anti-Slip Securing Mat: Ensuring Pallet Stability During Freight Transport

Road transport is subject to a wide variety of dynamic forces that affect pallet stability.

Sudden accelerations and abrupt braking generate significant inertial forces—up to 0.8 g forward and 0.5 g backward—that can cause loads to shift if not properly secured.

In addition, road irregularities—potholes, uneven surfaces, and speed bumps—cause vibrations that can gradually destabilize pallets.

Sharp turns and quick maneuvers produce lateral forces (0.5 g) that push pallets against truck walls or even cause them to tip.

Frequent changes in speed and direction continuously alter the inertia of loads, increasing the risk of sliding.

Vertical forces downward can reach 1 g, while upward forces can go up to 0.5 g.

To address these complex challenges, using an anti-slip mat placed under pallets—alongside standard strapping or blocking methods—improves grip with the truck floor and effectively reduces risks, ensuring optimal securing of a wide range of goods.
