Sorbothane engineers, in partnership with leading equipment manufacturers, have developed components for a pallet system that reduce vibration and impact damage to high-value cargo in over-the road trucking and air transportation.

Sorbothane® is an energy absorbing proprietary material that has been used to protect critical cargo in a variety of applications. Sorbothane® pads effectively isolate the cargo on shipping pallets from damage-causing impacts. In addition, Sorbothane® pads can eliminate the need for special air ride trailers and premium freight rates. Sorbothane develops custom and standard isolators for pallet manufacturers to create energy attenuating pallet systems for shipping critical loads and high-value equipment. Sorbothane engineers assist pallet manufacturers in determining the shape, size and location of the Sorbothane® pads and loading configuration to achieve the desired shock absorption. Sorbothane® can also be custom-molded as an integral shock mount within the product. (more…)
