Anti-slip strips for load securing
Anti-slip strips made of recycled rubber for load securing
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP is a custom-cut anti-slip strip solution designed to increase friction between the load and the support surface at linear contact points. Made from rolls of recycled rubber, the strips can be configured in various widths, lengths, and thicknesses for use under pallets, crates, beams, machinery, and other load items. The product enhances the effectiveness of the securing system without replacing straps, chains, bars, or other anchoring devices.

01 / Product
Custom-made strips for linear supports
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP is produced by cutting anti-slip rolls lengthwise. The narrow format allows the material to be positioned directly at the load’s linear contact points, with the width, length, and thickness adapted to the required configuration. The strips are typically supplied in rolls, making them easier to handle before use.
Configuration
Material only at the contact points
The STRIP format is designed for linear support under pallets, crates, beams, machinery, and industrial components, when it is useful to concentrate the anti-slip material along the actual contact surfaces.
Linear supports
Place the anti-slip material directly along the actual surfaces where the load rests.
Cut to size
The width and length are determined based on the required configuration and the constraints of the original format.
Supplied in rolls
The strips are normally supplied rolled up to make them easier to handle and transport before use.
02 / Applications
Where to Use ECO-KARGRIP STRIP
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP is designed to increase friction and help ensure load stability during transport, handling, and storage. The strip format is particularly well-suited when the actual contact surfaces are linear or concentrated along specific parts of the load.
Pallets and Crates
As a non-slip element under skids, bases, and other linear support points on pallets and crates.
Beams and Industrial Components
For linear supports under beams, machinery, and industrial components during transport, handling, or storage.
Trucks and Semi-Trailers
For truck load beds, trailers, and semi-trailers in areas where it is necessary to increase friction between the load and the supporting surface.
Containers and Loading Areas
For containers, swap bodies, rail cars, and other loading surfaces compatible with the specified configuration.
The choice of width, length, thickness, and overall fastening system must be evaluated based on the load, the contact surfaces, and the operating conditions.
03 / Specifications
Available sizes
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP is supplied in strips cut to size. The minimum width is 50 mm, while the length is determined based on the customer’s request and the original size of the material. Eight standard thicknesses ranging from 3 to 10 mm are available.
| Feature | Value | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Upon request | ±3% |
| Width | Upon request, ≥ 50 mm | ±3% |
| Thickness | 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 mm | ±10% |
Rolled Strips The STRIP format is normally supplied in rolls.
Supply: Packaging is determined based on size, thickness, and order quantity.
04 / Materials
Recycled rubber and a dotted surface
ECO-KARGRIP is composed of SBR rubber granules derived primarily from end-of-life tyres (ELTs), with possible minor amounts of recycled rubber from other sources, bound together with polyurethane resin and with the addition of EPDM granules. The recycled content is approximately 90% by weight.
The surface features a selected, uniform, and non-directional grain. Slight variations in appearance, due to the nature of the recycled material and the manufacturing process, do not compromise the product’s functionality.
Color and Finish
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP is black, with no added pigments, and features a speckled surface created using colored EPDM granules.

05 / Performance and Use
Friction and compressive strength for load securing
For ECO-KARGRIP STRIP, the technical data sheet lists a dynamic coefficient of friction of μ = 0.75, determined in accordance with VDI 2700 Sheet 14 under dry conditions. This value applies to a test setup consisting of a used load bed, an anti-slip mat, a wooden EUR pallet, and a load of approximately 800 kg.
This value includes the 5% safety margin specified in the test and may vary depending on the contact surfaces, environmental conditions, and the cleanliness of the materials.
Compressive strength at 30%
Compressive strength is determined in accordance with ISO 3386-2 and evaluated according to VDI 2700 Sheet 15, with a maximum deformation limit of 30% of the thickness. The TDS lists the following conservative values for the tested thicknesses.
| Tested Thickness | Conservative estimate based on a 30% reduction |
|---|---|
| 3 mm | 250 t/m² |
| 6 mm | 235 t/m² |
| 8 mm | 190 t/m² |

Contact Information
Clean and dry
Water, ice, oils, greases, and other contaminants can reduce the coefficient of friction.
Instructions for Proper Use
The strips must be positioned at the actual points of contact between the load and the support surface. Before use, ensure that the product and the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, ice, or other substances that could reduce the coefficient of friction.
ECO-KARGRIP STRIP should be considered a non-slip element that supports the overall load securing system. It does not replace straps, chains, bars, or other securing devices. When determining the appropriate size, consider the type of cargo, weight distribution, contact surfaces, anchoring devices, and expected operating conditions.

07 / FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About ECO-KARGRIP STRIP
Quick answers to help you evaluate the size, application, and conditions of use for anti-slip strips.
What is the difference between STRIPs and the ROLL format?
STRIP is designed for linear surfaces and is cut to size; ROLL, on the other hand, is recommended when you need to create a continuous, larger non-slip surface.
What sizes are available?
The width can be customized upon request starting at 50 mm; the length is determined based on the request and the original size; and standard thicknesses range from 3 to 10 mm.
What is the coefficient of friction of ECO-KARGRIP STRIP?
The TDS specifies a dynamic coefficient of friction of μ = 0.75 under dry conditions, measured using a configuration consisting of a used load bed, a striped anti-slip mat, a wooden EUR pallet, and a load of approximately 800 kg. The actual value may vary depending on surface conditions and operating conditions.
Do STRIPs replace belts or other fasteners?
No. The strips increase friction between the contacting surfaces and enhance the effectiveness of the load securing system, but they do not replace straps, chains, bars, or other load-securing devices.
What should the contact surfaces be like?
Clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Water, ice, oils, greases, dust, and other substances can alter friction conditions.
