What to choose, rubber or metal footings?

Many different types of equipment can be used in both industrial and residential settings. Two of the most common materials used for this type of equipment are rubber and metal. Each material has its unique benefits that can be advantageous in different situations.

Rubber is a common choice for industrial equipment because it is durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It is also resistant to corrosion, which is vital in an industrial setting where harsh chemicals are often present. Rubber footing can also help to reduce noise levels, which is beneficial in both residential and industrial settings.

Metal is another popular choice for industrial and residential equipment. Metal is strong and can protect against impact or wear and tear damage. It is also less likely to corrode than other materials, making it ideal for use in an industrial setting.
