Transportation & Fleets

Road, Air, Ocean, and Off-Road… Specify SAFEGUARD to enhance vehicle & pedestrian safety, reduce liability exposure, and lower your overall operating costs.

Many passenger & operator accidents occur at vehicle entry/exit areas where slippery surfaces cause accidents. In fact, Slips-and-Falls are the #2 cause of injuries in the Transportation Industry.

Safeguard® Antislip Covers are the long-term solution, outlasting and outperforming temporary tapes, coatings and rubber flooring which wear down and become slippery over time. Diamond plate is not an Antislip solution. Introduce water, oil or mud and these diamond plates become perilous.

In addition to your vehicles, Safeguard covers are the perfect, long-term solution for passenger stations, maintenance garages and corporate/administration buildings.

Safeguard® Antislip Safety Covers…

HOW TO SAFEGUARD YOUR HAZARDOUS AREAS

From OEM to aftermarket retrofit installation, there are two ways to Safeguard your surface:

Anti-Slip Safety Covers:

At the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket level, Safeguard® Anti-Slip retrofit covers provide a superior, long-term solution. All Safeguard® Non-Slip Covers are available in 6 grades of coarseness and a variety of colors including Photoluminescent "glow-in-the-dark". Custom color matching, descriptive marking & critical safety messaging are also available.

Safeguard Antislip Covers are permanently affixed over entry areas, steps, wheelchair ramps/lifts, and general walkway areas.

Choose from various base materials depending on your application:

Pultruded FRP composite fiberglass (1/8" or 1mm)
Flexible PVC (vinyl)
Stainless Steel
Galvanized Steel
Aluminum
Customer supplied parts (see Direct Gritting)
Quick installation
Covers are made to your size and shape specifications. Choose from mechanical fasteners (screws) or adhesive for quick installation with little to no downtime.

Direct Gritting:

Provide your parts or engineered drawings (we can fabricate them for you) and Safeguard will bond its proven Hi-Traction Anti-Slip surface directly to the areas you specify. This is the perfect solution for steps, ramps and ladders. You get maximum versatility and Antislip protection with little additional weight.

Reduce Direct Labor Costs
Eliminate the time needed to separately install an anti-slip cover or other anti-slip material.
Stock Fewer Parts
No need to procure and stock 2 parts: load-bearing parts and anti-slip covers
Highest Quality Anti-Slip Surface
The same long lasting, high quality surface as Safeguard's Hi-Traction Retrofit Anti-Slip Covers.
Long-Lasting Anti-Slip Surface
Tapes and coatings often leave end-users with a worn down slippery surface after a short time.
