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.
