ANTI-SLIP TAPES IN THE TRAILER INDUSTRY
WHAT TAPES CAN IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE TRAILER INDUSTRY?
Department of Transportation (DOT) Tapes are a regulatory requirement for trailers, ensuring enhanced visibility and safety on the road. These high-visibility tapes reflect light, making trailers easily noticeable in low light and night conditions, significantly reducing the risk of collisions. DOT tapes are mandatory on certain parts of trailers, including the sides and rear, and play a critical role in road safety.
Custom Printed DOT Tape enhances trailer visibility while offering branding opportunities. Fully compliant with safety regulations, this reflective tape allows customers to add logos or custom designs, combining safety with brand promotion. It’s a great way to increase visibility on the road while showcasing your company’s identity.
Heavy-Duty Anti-Slip Tape is crucial in the trailer industry, facing conditions like rain, snow, and varied temperatures. These tapes are engineered to provide superior grip and durability on trailer decks, ramps, and steps, where slipping hazards are prevalent. Their robust construction withstands heavy foot traffic and equipment, making them ideal for trailers used in transportation and logistics.
UHB Bonding Tape is suitable for trucks and trailers, providing a powerful adhesive solution for bonding various items together. Engineered to withstand extreme conditions, it offers reliable adhesion for components exposed to moisture and vibrations. Ideal for securing panels, trim, and accessories.
Corrosion Barrier Tape is essential for protecting trucks and trailers from rust and corrosion due to moisture and harsh conditions. This durable tape creates a strong barrier against water, salt, and chemicals, extending the lifespan of vehicles. Easy to apply, it’s a vital solution for maintaining the integrity of trucks and trailers in demanding environments, reducing costly repairs.
Gravel Guard is essential for protecting trucks and trailers that navigate rough, debris-filled roads. This durable coating shields surfaces from gravel and road damage, preserving the integrity of truck beds and trailer underbodies. Its tough formulation ensures long-lasting protection, making it a vital addition for vehicles in construction and transportation, helping to reduce maintenance costs and extend service life.
Reflective Tapes play a vital role in enhancing visibility and safety in the trailer industry. Applied to trailers’ sides and rear, these tapes improve night-time visibility, reducing the risk of accidents on the road. They are also used around loading docks and in warehouse settings to delineate safe walking zones and highlight potential hazards.
Line Marking Tapes are invaluable for organising and maintaining safety in trailer yards and loading areas. They are used to mark lanes, pedestrian zones, and hazardous areas, guiding traffic and reducing the risk of accidents in busy operational environments.
Marine Grade Anti-Slip Tape is specifically designed for trailers involved in marine and aquatic environments. Resistant to saltwater, moisture, and varying weather conditions, these tapes provide reliable traction on boat trailers and other water-associated vehicles, ensuring safety during the loading and transportation of marine equipment.
Glow in the Dark Tapes are essential for trailers used during nighttime operations. These photoluminescent tapes illuminate hazards and exits in low-light conditions, aiding in safe loading and unloading processes.

WHERE CAN ANTI-SLIP TAPE IMPROVE SAFETY IN THE TRAILER INDUSTRY?
On Trailer Ramps & Steps
Anti-slip tapes are essential on trailer ramps and steps, providing extra traction to prevent slips and falls during loading and unloading, especially in adverse weather conditions.
In Trailer Refrigeration Units
For refrigerated trailers, applying anti-slip tape inside the refrigeration unit can prevent slips in the cold, often wet environment inside these trailers.
In And Around Loading Docks
For loading docks, where swift and safe movement of goods is crucial, non-slip tapes offer added safety. They are vital in areas prone to spills or moisture, enhancing safety for workers and drivers.
On The Decks Of Flatbed Trailers
Anti-slip tapes on flatbed trailer decks ensure stable footing for personnel during the loading and securing of cargo, which is crucial for preventing accidents, especially when handling heavy or awkward items.
In Warehouse & Storage Areas
Applying non-slip tapes in warehouse and storage areas associated with trailer operations aids in preventing slips and falls, making it safer for staff to manoeuvre goods and equipment.
On Equipment & Machinery
Anti-slip tapes can be applied to the steps and platforms of forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment commonly used in trailer loading and unloading operations. This enhances safety for operators, especially in environments where these surfaces may become slippery due to spills or weather conditions.
In The Driver’s Cab
The steps and flooring inside the cab of a truck or trailer can be outfitted with grip tape to reduce the risk of slips and falls when entering or exiting the vehicle and provide a stable footing while driving, especially in inclement weather.
