Specialized Floor Tapes Specialized industrial floor tapes are engineered to withstand specific hazards that may compromise regular industrial floor tapes, the most common being weight+pivot damage. Pros • Highly resistant to specific hazards • Extremely durable Even tough industrial tapes can melt or smear when a forklift or other extremely heavy object plants a tire directly on the floor tape and pivots its wheel repeatedly on the line. While not usually a problem, this can be a problem (usually only in a specific area) in facilities with constant, extreme equipment or vehicle traffic. To combat this, extra-dense, ridgid tapes exist to withstand that extreme pressure and heat. • Powerful adhesive Also, floor tapes are available that combine the toughness of industrial floor tapes with the “grit” or “grip” of anti-slip floor tapes. Common Industrial Floor Tape Lines: • Easy application • Long lifespan Cons • Typically highest price point • SafetyTac EDGE • SafetyTac ARMOR • SafetyTac GRIP Recommended traffic level: Heavy to Extreme 21
