Rubber Benchtop Covers

[Augie Pabst]

In the past I've seen trailers (most of them semi's) with stainless benchtops, where people have cut up rubber sheets to cover the benchtops, for protection and i think to keep things from sliding off when on the road. can anyone recommend or tell me what material exactly they use? McMaster has a ton of choices. thanks

For our bench tops we went to a local hardware store and bought a roll of coin pattern rubber mats and cut it to size to fit our stainless bench tops. The only draw back was if you needed to write on a piece of paper you had to have a clipboard around. But it kept things from sliding around and protected the bench top.

Check with your local roofers. They may have a piece of rubber roofing laying around.

Thanks for the input. Team Penske uses neoprene rubber sheet (60D), 1/8" thick. You can buy it 36" wide per lineal foot (between $16-24 per foot)
McMaster sells it with a different durometer rating for around $23 per ft
