At Heskins, delivering high-performance anti-slip materials is only part of our commitment to workplace safety. Equally important is how we process and convert those materials to meet the exact needs of our customers. One of the key pieces of equipment that enables this is our crush-cut sheeter, a machine dedicated to producing accurate, cleanly cut sheets from our roll-based anti-slip products.

For many industries- manufacturing, transport, warehousing, construction, marine and more- anti-slip materials aren’t always required in standard roll formats. Installers often need pre-cut sheets that match the size of flooring panels, steps, ramps, machinery platforms or OEM components. Our sheeter ensures we can supply those formats with precision and consistency.

 

Why the Crush-Cut Sheeter Matters

Unlike standard sheeting equipment, which can struggle with textured or thick materials, our crush-cut sheeter is designed specifically for the types of industrial tapes we produce. Many of our materials- such as Safety-Grip, Coarse grades, glow-in-the-dark products, chemical-resistant anti-slip, and 2mm thick tapes- feature tough surface finishes or layered constructions. These demand a cutting method that can maintain edge quality and dimensional accuracy.

The crush-cut action delivers exactly that. By applying even pressure across the material, the machine produces straight, clean edges without fraying or distortion. This is essential for long-term adhesion, professional installation, and ensuring the sheet fits perfectly where it’s needed.

Because the sheeter is electronically controlled, every cut remains consistent across the run. Whether a project requires small sheets, large panels or a high-volume batch, the sizing stays accurate. This helps customers reduce trimming on-site, minimise waste, and speed up installation.

 

How the Crush-Cut Sheeter Supports Our Production

Our crush-cut sheeter plays a central role in making our anti-slip materials available in practical, ready-to-use sheet formats. It allows us to convert our full range- abrasive, non-abrasive, thick, thin, textured or smooth- into customised sizes that suit any application.

The machine’s controlled cutting method helps maintain the structure of the materials, ensuring edges remain crisp and adhesive areas stay intact. This means we can sheet everything from standard Safety-Grip to more specialist products with complete reliability.

In short, the sheeter gives us flexibility, repeatable accuracy and the freedom to offer tailor-made solutions for our customers’ projects.

 

Where Sheet-Cut Anti-Slip Material Excels

Sheeted anti-slip products are especially useful in areas where consistent coverage and exact sizing matter, such as:

  • Access platforms, maintenance areas and machine steps
  • Factory walkways and warehouse flooring panels
  • Ramps, loading bays and vehicle interiors
  • Marine decks and industrial equipment housings
  • OEM builds that require custom-sized non-slip components

Using pre-cut sheets ensures a uniform finish, reduces installation time, and helps achieve long-lasting non-slip performance.

 

A Complete Conversion Service

Sheeting is just one part of Heskins’ in-house conversion capabilities. Alongside our crush-cut sheeter, we also offer:

  • Die-cutting
  • Single-knife slitting
  • Custom colours
  • Custom printing

Handling all processes internally allows us to maintain fast lead times and full quality control from start to finish.

 

Conclusion

Our crush-cut sheeter is a vital component of Heskins’ production line, enabling us to convert our anti-slip materials into precise, ready-to-install sheet formats. Combined with our wide product range and in-house conversion services, it ensures customers receive materials that are accurate, reliable and perfectly suited to their application.

If you require sheeted anti-slip material for your next project-or would like to discuss custom sizes or samples- our team is always here to help.
