Custom Rubber Grip Pad Manufacturer & Supplier for the Material Handling Industry
What Are Rubber Grip Pads?
Rubber grip pads are protective, non-slip contact surfaces fitted to the arms, clamps, or platforms of material handling equipment. Their role is to:
- Increase friction between the equipment and the load to prevent slippage.
- Protect load surfaces from scratches, dents, or other damage.
- Reduce wear on the equipment’s contact points, extending service life.
Clifton Rubber’s grip pads are manufactured using premium-grade compounds, ensuring a balance of flexibility, resilience, and high-grip performance in demanding working environments.

Fitted to the arms of paper roll clamps, carton clamps, or bale clamps, rubber grip pads provide secure load handling without damaging the goods.
Pallet Handling
On pallet clamps and other specialised handling tools, grip pads help maintain load stability during movement, stacking, or transport.
Load Protection in Manufacturing
Grip pads can be used on machinery in manufacturing lines to hold products securely in place without marking or deforming them.
