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.

Sorbothane® is widely recognized for its superior damping and isolation properties. Sorbothane® maintains stability and flexibility over a broad temperature range, enabling the pads to isolate damaging vibrations and impact shock in all climate conditions. Its faultless memory ensures return to original shape even after repeated compressions, making it ideal for a variety of engineering design applications requiring shock absorption and vibration isolation.

Sorbothane® was used in the relocation of the Liberty Bell as specified by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Space Shuttle Discovery’s cameras were mounted on Sorbothane® to protect them from the violent forces during launch. Sorbothane® components are used extensively in manufacturing products for, national defense, medical devices, electronics, computers and sport. Sorbothane® insoles are recognized by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers as the best defense against impact-related injuries. Sorbothane creates parts that absorb shock and isolate vibration. No other material dissipates energy as effectively.
