In 2025, ZF Wind Power in Tianjin, a subsidiary of the global technology leader ZF Friedrichshafen AG, partnered with PAALER to address workplace safety challenges on its machining platforms. The factory’s environment involves extensive use of cutting fluids and lubricants, which often make steel platforms and flooring extremely slippery. To ensure worker safety and operational efficiency, ZF selected the PAALER Guse™ Stair Anti-Slip Mat, engineered with a grit-finished surface for superior traction in oily conditions.
ZF (Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen) is one of the world’s leading suppliers in automotive systems, industrial drive technology, and renewable energy equipment, including wind power solutions. At its Tianjin wind power manufacturing facility, precision machining platforms are a critical part of daily operations.
However, the combination of steel flooring and machining oils created significant safety hazards. Workers moving across these platforms often faced slippery surfaces, and traditional anti-slip mats were unable to provide sufficient grip in such conditions. The client required a specialized solution capable of resisting oil exposure while ensuring consistent anti-slip performance.
To solve this problem, PAALER introduced the Guse™ Stair Anti-Slip Mat, a product specifically designed for industrial safety in oil-intensive environments.
Key Features:
Grit-Finished Surface
The mat is manufactured with a carborundum (grit) layer, providing excellent traction even on oily or wet steel platforms.
Oil Resistance
Unlike ordinary mats that lose effectiveness in oily conditions, the Guse™ mat maintains strong anti-slip properties under heavy exposure to lubricants and cutting fluids.
Durability
Built for high-traffic industrial use, the mat withstands the harsh conditions of machining environments, ensuring long service life.
Stair and Platform Application
Ideal for stairs, ladders, and elevated machining platforms, the mat enhances worker safety across critical access points.
The ZF Tianjin operations team acknowledged that PAALER’s Guse™ Stair Anti-Slip Mat delivered a significant improvement over standard solutions. Workers reported greater confidence and stability when moving across machining platforms, even in areas with high lubricant concentration.
The adoption of this specialized mat reduced slip-related incidents, ensuring smoother workflow and higher safety standards in the factory’s machining operations.
This installation demonstrates PAALER’s ability to deliver custom industrial matting solutions for demanding environments. By addressing the unique needs of ZF’s wind power facility, PAALER reinforced its reputation as a floor mat supplier and manufacturer that understands both safety requirements and industrial realities.
PAALER’s broader product portfolio covers a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including:
Anti-slip mats and grit-surface mats for oil-intensive workshops
Custom mats and stair mats for factories and industrial platforms
Anti-fatigue mats, PVC mats, and rubber flooring for production lines and workstations
The deployment of the PAALER Guse™ Stair Anti-Slip Mat at ZF Wind Power Tianjin highlights how advanced matting technology can solve real-world industrial challenges. With its grit-surface, oil resistance, and long durability, the mat has proven to be a reliable safety solution for slippery machining platforms.
This project reflects PAALER’s mission to provide innovative, sustainable, and high-performance industrial matting solutions for global manufacturers, ensuring safer and more efficient operations.
