Therefore, safety is a priority in facilities to protect workers. Goodrich Corporation had originally installed dimple plate on a Large Gear Profiler that became a slip hazard when covered in machine coolant and oil. A Large Gear Profiler is a large machine that forms titanium forgings and machines them into aircraft landing gear. The safety manager contacted SlipNOT® for an alternative to dimple plate.

SlipNOT® provided 3/16” Grade 3 steel plates to be installed on and next to the Large Gear Profiler. The Grade 3 steel was the ideal solution due to the fact is the most abrasive surface SlipNOT® offers. Grade 3 SlipNOT® steel was ideal for this environment because there was no concern of corrosion due to the oil and coolant. SlipNOT® floor plates can be retrofitted over existing material or replace inferior slip resistant products.

The client determined SlipNOT® to be the ideal solution due to it’s extreme durability and zero maintenance factor. Goodrich Corporation is pleased with the SlipNOT® Grip Plate® performance and continues to incorporate SlipNOT® in projects that require slip resistance. SlipNOT® steel plates have an unsurpassed surface hardness and withstand the industrial environment, as well as heavy usage. With employee safety in mind, SlipNOT® was the supreme solution for Goodrich Corporation.
