Rubber Matting

Rubber matting is a durable, non-slip solution placed beneath cargo to prevent shifting during transport. It increases surface friction, stabilizes loads and provides protection in both dry and wet shipping conditions.

Rubber matting works by creating a high-friction barrier between cargo and trailer floors or pallets. When paired with straps or tie-downs, it resists slippage, even under heavy vibration or sudden stops. Unlike disposable blocking, a non slip rubber mat is reusable and provides reliable, long-term performance. Millwood’s rubber matting ensures maximum stability for industries moving heavy goods such as steel, roofing materials and machinery.

Industries that ship heavy, irregular or outdoor-stored products benefit most from rubber matting. Construction, roofing, steel, lumber and manufacturing companies use it to secure loads and protect shipments from movement.

Cargo types like shingles, pipes, drums, rolls, machinery and coils often shift in transit without proper stabilization. By using an anti slip rubber mat, companies reduce load movement, limit product damage and maintain compliance with shipping regulations. Millwood’s rubber matting is engineered to deliver reliable performance across multiple modes of transportation, making it a versatile choice for demanding industries.

Yes. Rubber matting is widely recognized as a compliant load securement aid, helping companies meet DOT, FMCSA, AAR and CVSA guidelines for safety in shipping and transport.

Because rubber matting significantly reduces shifting, it often replaces older methods like wood blocking, which can damage trailer floors or goods. A non slip rubber mat provides friction-based restraint that enhances the performance of tie-downs. Millwood ensures its rubber matting solutions meet or exceed safety standards, allowing shippers to reduce risk, avoid fines and improve reliability across road, rail and intermodal shipping.

Rubber matting offers a cleaner, reusable alternative to wood blocking, saving labor, reducing waste and preventing damage. It provides secure, friction-based restraint instead of rigid, one-time bracing.

Unlike wood blocking, which requires cutting, nailing and disposal, rubber matting is reusable and quick to install. An anti slip rubber mat creates dependable grip without damaging trailer floors, while saving valuable loading time. Millwood’s rubber matting provides long-term cost efficiency and consistent performance, making it the superior option for operations needing durable, repeatable load securement solutions.

The right rubber matting depends on cargo weight, surface conditions and type of shipment. Heavy or dynamic loads require thicker, denser mats to provide maximum stability and grip.

For lighter or more stable cargo, thinner mats may be sufficient, while heavy machinery, coils or bulk building materials benefit from thicker options. Choosing the right non slip rubber mat ensures proper friction, reduced shifting and extended reuse. Millwood’s team can recommend the best anti slip rubber mat specifications—thickness, density and durability—based on your unique shipping requirements.

Yes. Rubber matting minimizes product movement, reducing damage, liability claims and operational costs tied to unstable shipments. It protects both goods and packaging during transport.

By stabilizing pallets, an anti slip rubber mat prevents abrasion, impact and vibration-related damage. This reduces insurance claims, repackaging needs and costly delays. Over time, Millwood’s heavy-duty rubber matting delivers strong ROI by lowering losses while ensuring regulatory compliance. It’s an effective, proven solution for shippers who prioritize protection, efficiency and customer satisfaction.
