Rubber Cushions
Heavy-duty moulded elastomeric cushions designed to absorb massive compressive shocks, eliminate road vibration, and isolate structural framing in commercial vehicle cabs, rail tracks, stamping machinery, and shipping containers.
Types & Configurations of Rubber Cushions
Center-Bonded Cab Isolation Cushions
Captive elastomeric cushions with integrated steel center sleeve for vehicle cab mounting.
Multi-Hole Machine Bedding Cushions
Large rectangular molded rubber slabs distributing compressive machine foot loads.
Railway Tie Track Damping Cushions
High-resilience pads placed beneath railroad rails to absorb axle dynamic hammer.
Interlocking Anti-Vibration Tile Cushions
Modular interlocking elastomeric tiles for heavy industrial plant floor isolation.
Shipping Container Landing Cushions
Heavy molded bumpers protecting ISO container corners during crane handling.
