What are Rubber Skids?

We supply natural rubber skids specifically engineered for the heavy-duty transport of steel coils. Produced from natural products and high-performance polymers, these skids guarantee a load-bearing capacity of 25 tonnes max, supported by a 3-year warranty.

  • Eco-Friendly: Replaces wood, saving trees and reducing waste.
  • Longevity: Profitability through long-term reuse (6+ years reported).
  • Safe: Non-toxic chemicals and natural anti-skid properties.
  • Heat Resistant: 'Hot' coils can be placed directly on the saddle.
