3mm AAR Rubber Friction Mats

Cordstrap’s 3 mm AAR-certified rubber friction mats provide extra grip and shock absorption for heavier loads across rail, truck, and intermodal shipments. Ideal for steel and metal products, construction materials, and palletized case goods where higher load forces demand more friction.

Key Benefits of 3 mm Mats

  • Higher friction and cushioning for heavier-duty freight compared to 2 mm mats
  • Helps prevent dangerous load shifts during rail impacts, hard braking, and cornering
  • Reduces or replaces wood blocking & bracing in many patterns, minimizing floor damage and nail hazards
  • Performs in both wet and dry conditions without significant loss of friction
  • Supports sustainability goals with high recycled content and reusable design

Typical Applications

  • Steel coils & metal products — extra friction for dense, high-mass loads
  • Bricks, blocks & construction materials — stabilizes loads on rail, truck, and intermodal lanes
  • Palletized case goods — helps keep beverage, food, and consumer products from shifting
  • Bulk bags and IBCs — adds grip under high center-of-gravity freight
  • Cross-modal freight — consistent performance across road, rail, and containerized shipments
