Anti-slip mats are flat underlays – typically made from rubber, nonwoven fabric, or plastic mesh – placed between cargo layers or beneath pallets on truck beds, in containers, or on warehouse racking to prevent goods from shifting in transit. Their textured surface raises friction between load and carrier surface, holding pallets, cartons, and individual items in place without mechanical fixation or risk of damage. In freight forwarding and warehousing, they are a recognised cargo securing aid that can complement or replace lashing straps or anti-slip coatings depending on load geometry. Quick to apply and reusable across multiple shipments, they are a cost-effective first line of defence against load movement. European cargo securing guidelines recognise them as a valid means of both friction-based and form-fitting load restraint.
