Hardigg Skid Mate

Skid-Mate® cushions are air-damped cushioning devices that easily mount on pallet bases instead of wood skid runners, and they provide extraordinary protection against shock and vibration. Skid-Mate+Plus™ is the same pallet cushion plus a rugged polyethylene spacer disc. This extra height in the cushioning device allows your palletized loads to accept most pallet jacks worldwide.

With a combination of Skid-Mate® and Skid-Mate+Plus™ shock-protection cushions, your pallet dampening, handling, shipping, and warehousing worries are minimized. Plus, these pallet cushioning devices are incredibly cost-effective and durable. They accommodate any loads: specialty and customized pallets, heavy duty pallet loads, fabricated pallets, etc. The air-damped cushioning technology allows you to stack any type of industrial, commercial, or military load without fear. With especially heavy or sensitive pallet loads, just add extra Skid-Mate® and Skid-Mate+Plus™ cushions where the shock protection and support is needed most.

Features

Easy to Mount. Both Skid-Mate® and Skid-Mate+Plus™ air-damped cushioning devices are easily attached to a pallet base with a 5/16"-18 UNC bolt and our standard T-nut.
