SlipDoctors Dura Grip Non-Slip Coating
SlipDoctors Dura Grip is positioned as the best-in-class coating for horse trailers because it combines a waterborne, low-VOC formula with proven adhesion to metal and rubber surfaces, delivering durable traction without the harsh fumes of industrial epoxies. Compared with tapes and loose additives, it provides a seamless, even wear surface that is easier to clean and more comfortable for hooves, while remaining more affordable and quicker to apply than heavy-duty spray-on polyureas.

3M Safety-Walk Heavy Duty Tread Tape
3M Safety-Walk Heavy Duty Tread Tape is the market leader for quick, targeted anti-slip solutions thanks to its aggressive adhesive and coarse, durable grit that offers instant traction on trailer ramps and step areas. It is a cost-effective, low-downtime choice compared with liquid coatings like SlipDoctors or Rhino Linings, though it can be less permanent on warped or heavily flexing trailer floors and typically requires periodic replacement.

Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield Anti-Skid Additive
Rust-Oleum EpoxyShield Anti-Skid Additive is a value-focused option that turns standard epoxy or paint into a textured, anti-slip surface and is particularly economical for full-floor treatments in horse trailers when paired with an epoxy base coat. Technically robust for chemical and abrasion resistance, it demands proper mixing and longer cure time than pre-formulated coatings, but yields a hard-wearing finish that competes well on durability with tapes while offering more uniform coverage.
