We apply a thermally sprayed metal coating with titanium particles to steel loading ramps, platforms, manhole covers and dock levellers. The coating is rough, stays slip-resistant even when wet, and protects against corrosion at the same time.
Where can it be used?
- Loading ramps for machinery transporters and recovery vehicles
- Platforms and walking surfaces of livestock trailers
- Manhole cover plates and walkway gratings
- Hydraulic dock levellers
- Steel footbridges and walkways
- Helipads and the aft decks of ships
How it is applied
- Grit blasting with corundum (Al2O3): a clean, rough surface.
- Aluminium base layer: 99.5% aluminium, approx. 100–150 µm thick. This provides the corrosion protection.
- Anti-slip top layer: titanium particles dispersed in aluminium, 200–300 µm thick. This provides the grip.
Benefits
- Keeps its grip in the rain and on wet surfaces.
- Suitable for vehicles with rubber tyres or solid plastic (Danamid, Bonamid) wheels, and for pedestrians.
- Machines being transported can drive up onto the platform “under their own power”, even in wet weather.
- The metal coating also provides corrosion protection.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work on wet surfaces?
Yes. The coating retains its anti-slip properties in rainy weather and on wet surfaces.
What kind of wheels is it suitable for?
Pneumatic and solid rubber tyres, plastic (Danamid, Bonamid) wheels, and pedestrian traffic too.
Does it also protect against rust?
Yes. The lower layer of 99.5% aluminium provides the corrosion protection, while the upper layer with titanium particles provides the grip.
Can an old, worn platform be refurbished?
Yes. For example, we also refurbish the platforms of livestock trailers and make them slip-resistant with metal spraying.
