Pallet Protection (Skid-Mates®)

For all the hazards faced by sensitive and delicate equipment in the field, shock and vibration during transport causes some of the most serious and costly damage—amounting to millions of dollars each year.

Hardigg’s SKID-MATE® cushions offer a simple and cost-effective solution. Designed to mount directly on pallet bases with a 5/16" – 18 UNC bolt threaded into the molded-in insert, these air-dampened cushions provide maximum protection against shock and vibration with minimum size and weight—taking the place of wood skid runners and eliminating the need for expensive air-ride trucks. They can accommodate any load—from custom and fabricated pallets to heavy-duty pallet loads for any type of industrial, commercial, or military cargo. Skid-Mates are color-coded by load range, and also permit four-way pallet entry, making loading and unloading easy.

The SKID-MATE+PLUS® system adds a rugged 1-1/8” thick polyethylene spacer disc to the Skid-Mate cushion, which increases the total height to 4”. This extra height allows your pallet-loaded freight to accept most pallet jacks worldwide.
