We are Nuts about you!

2011-12-15T11:53:00.006-05:00

Our Case SuperGrip just got better. A few customers have brought to our attention that the nuts we use on the Case Supergrip replacement rubber, which is a 7/16 locknut is a bit different from the Case 580N version. Which means if we don't supply you with our nut, it will be difficult bolting the replacement rubber onto your 580N Backhoe. Beginning today, FlipPad International will include nuts on all Case SuperGrip Rubbers. Go nuts!

Rubber Snow Plow Blades - From FlipPad International

2011-11-03T15:47:00.001-04:00

New from FlipPad International, Hanover, MA. - Reversible Rubber Snow Plow Blades.

Like all of our FlipPad Products, our rubber snow plow blades are made of tough, fiber reinforced recycled rubber that will not tear. FlipPad's rubber plow blades have a "squeegee action" to clean faster, smoother and quieter than steel cutting edges. Our rubber snow plow blades will not damage roadway markings, cobblestone driveways or manhole covers. Our rubber plow edges are reversible, so each plow blade can be used twice. The thickness of our rubber edges are available from 1 - 1 1/2" inches. Like all rubber plow blades, ours absorb damaging shock to the plow, the blade and the plow driver.

Sizes: FlipPad's rubber snow plow blades can be ordered to any length. We will also supply bulk lengths up to 50 feet. We offer standard size 8,9,10,and 12 foot blades all standard sizes are 10" Wide. Custom sizes are available at any length or width.

Bolt Holes: Mounting holes are slotted 1 x 3" oval, allowing for an easy install. Custom hole punching is available on request.

Adjustments: FlipPad recommends that rubber snow plow blades be adjusted to the type of equipment on which they are installed. Front mounted plows that ride on casters or shoes perform best with a 2" overhang. 1" overhangs beyond the moldboard is suggested for unsupported front-mounted or under body mounted plows and graders.

10 Foot Reversible Rubber Plow Blade

FlipPad International is conscious about the environment. All of our products are made from 100% recycled material, even our painted products are extremely low VOC's (see here) making them safe as well. Our new reversible rubber snow plow is no different.

We are sure our reversible rubber snow plow blade will outperform and outlast your expectations so we will ship it to you for FREE!

What is Powder Coating?

2011-11-02T12:13:00.002-04:00

Powder Coating is the most economical and smartest way to restore, refinish or just plain improve the durability of any product made of aluminum, steel, metal, brass or copper – AND in keeping with our reduce, reuse and recycle mantra here at Flippad - it's also extremely environmentally friendly and pollution free!

Think Green with Powder Coating!

Powder Coating contains no VOC's (volatile organic compounds),

does not contain carcinogens (think spray paint)

and is virtually pollution-free!

Powder vs. Spray Paint.

While similar to spray painting (but clearly not even in the same league), powder coating has five times the climate resistance to heat & cold, corrosion invasion and scratch resistant durability with the most beautifully amazing finished look. What would take you painstaking days & multiple cans of spray paint – powder coating can save you tons of time and money!

How does Powder Coating work?

The process of powder coating combines finely ground particles made of pigment and resin that is electrically charged then professionally sprayed onto the products surface. Then it is baked to perfection just like ceramic so the paint is cured and the paint particles are permanently adhered.

Here are some examples of work we Powder Coat in Hanover, Ma.

Demolishing with a Brokk!

2011-08-08T14:06:00.000-04:00

Destroying can be fun sometimes, as there is always a feeling of satisfaction when it comes to starting from a new slate!

Remember how much fun these remote controlled demolition derby cars were – back in the day?

Well, if you like demolishing stuff, (and to get a feeling of how far we have come...) You have to check out the Big, Beautiful; Brokk 400 remote controlled demolishing machine!

For those of you who may not be familiar, Brokk is the world’s leading manufacturer of remote controlled demolition machines. At Con-Expo we had the opportunity to visit many exceptional exhibits and Brokk was one of them.

FlipPad engineers got some great feedback from Brokk customers who have stated that the stabilizer pad is weak because it’s rubber is molded.

Ask and you shall receive! We have now begun to design a laminated rubber to retrofit for the Brokk machine. In our opinion, the Brokk demolition machine is a strong and beautiful machine, all the more reason to build a tough laminated rubber for the stabilizer.

These two profile photos depict our durable laminated rubber on a Brokk 330

Our laminated rubber outlasts molded shoes in almost every situation. Not only is our laminated rubber tough, it is built to give the backhoe more stability in a tough environment.

O' Canada

2011-06-22T10:33:00.001-04:00

We love our Canadian customers! We often get calls asking if we ship to Canada, and how we handle customs, taxes, etc. In the past we haven't always had the answer - much like how the Canucks didn't have an answer for Tim Thomas. But all that is about to change, at least where Flippad International is concerned!

At Con Expo we were introduced to GTR AX. Working together with GTRAX, we can now offer you, our Canadian customers, the best possible outcome - faster turnaround on your orders!

You will still be purchasing our industry leading backhoe products, at FlipPad International, but GTRAX will be stocking these products making them available to you even sooner! Flippad International will be hard at work designing and manufacturing our innovative backhoe stabilizer products while GTRAX handles our Canadian distribution. Call us from Canada with any questions or concerns at 1-800-FLIPPAD(354-7723). Or call GTRAX at 1-855-778-TRAX (8729) in Canada to get your Flippad products!

Case 580N Backhoe FlipPad

2011-05-24T15:07:00.003-04:00

FlipPad International engineers have been busy at your request to develop a new FlipPad for the Case 580N backhoe loader. Now you can erase your concerns about very expensive, unnecessary collateral damage to paved surfaces. Most new Case 580N backhoe loaders come equipped with a Case version reversible pad, however the stabilizer pad has a few functional differences from their previous pads. First, the rubbers are molded. That means the beautiful new Case backhoe is going to slide around considerably more with the rubber stabilizer feet in the down position. Especially working on typical paved hard surfaces with loose granular material spread on the ground. As the Backhoe is sliding around on jagged material the molded rubber shoes are going to start to "chunk" or fall apart pretty quickly. The molded shoes are not designed to withstand the rigors of aggressive digging.

Well, we, here at FlipPad have made a few modifications to alleviate these issues.

First, we have developed a new reversible stabilizer pad to retrofit the new Case 580N backhoe loader. Our version utilizes the familiar rugged, chunk-proof laminated rubber shoe. As an added bonus, we have designed and patented this new reversible shoe that has two wear surfaces. Its our DoubleDuty. We have a built in spare inside the stabilizer. Basically giving the laminated rubber shoe double the life. Secondly, we have designed the new FlipPad Assembly with a super aggressive grouser that is designed to “carve” its way into hard or frozen soil conditions to help your backhoe work in extreme conditions.

Our new FlipPad for 580 N Case backhoes is now available. We can also supply you with our SuperGrip rubber to replace the molded shoes on your current version stabilizer.

The 3 R's

2011-04-19T12:05:00.026-04:00

Here at Flippad, we preach and also try desperately to practice the 3 R’s. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

While our intense Shot Blaster machine, makes our steel parts squeaky clean and prepared for powder coat paint. It is not always the best solution for cleaning everything.

One of our overly conscious recyclers here at Flippad took this “clean” test to the extreme this week. He found out the hard way that this is not always the most practical solution in recycling.

oops

This picture is of a sheet tray I use at home that we tried to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in an effort to expand the life cycle. I am not quite sure its going to work anymore.

Next time, i'll just spend the 20 bucks and buy a new sheet tray – after I recycle this one!!

Does anyone else have any interesting recycling stories to share?

Introducing our New Case Street Pad!

2011-04-19T10:07:00.001-04:00

Our engineers have been hard at work trying to expand and improve our product offerings to our customers. As a result, we have redesigned the Case street pad for backhoes. This new design offers an additional 48 square inches of wearing surface. The beauty is that you don’t need to make any modifications to your stabilizer leg. The new Case street pad design will help reduce downtime as well as save you money. When you are looking to replace your Case Street pads for your 580 or 590 L,K,M or N backhoe model, take a look at our new street pad and give us a call at FlipPad International.

Thank you Con-Expo

2011-03-31T16:27:00.003-04:00

Here is a great shot of our booth with a one of our famous FlipPad guys, Eric Lagsdin and his beautiful wife Kristen. Eric definitely traded up!

WOW, what a whirl wind?! We just returned from ConExpo and there were more things to see and explore than we imagined! It sure was “The Best of What’s New”, the latest & greatest, from equipment to technology to strategies useful for every business in our industry right now. Our minds are still spinning!

Of course the spinning could also have been due to the bright lights of the city that never sleeps ~ AND our beautiful lighted booth (pictured here) but whatever the reason, we are glad we attended.

It was a wonderful experience and we met LOTS of great people and that was the best part of all!

If you’re a special someone that shook hands with us in Vegas ~ we wanted to say “THANKS” for coming by and you can expect us to follow up on our promise to get better acquainted!

2011-02-11T09:14:00.001-05:00

FlipPad International has received several inquires asking for us to redesign a rugged laminated rubber to fit the new Case 580N. Our new design is complete and we are proud to offer this rugged laminated shoe to replace the molded version that comes equipped on the Case 580N. Our SuperGrip rubber was designed to outlast the molded version. The SuperGrip will not chunk-out and it will help prevent your backhoe from sliding. Please visit our website or call us at 1-800-FLIPPAD (354-7723) if you are interested in purchasing this new product.

2011-01-28T15:38:00.002-05:00

1. It will stop your Deere backhoe from sliding.

2. Tough laminated stabilizer rubber will not chunk out.

3. Will not damage pavement.

SuperGrip Laminated Rubber

It's back, molded rubber on the Case 580N.

2011-01-07T15:30:00.003-05:00

This picture dates back to 2004. Several years ago Case made an executive decision to switch to molded rubber shoes on the 580M series backhoes. (After approximately one year, they switched back to rugged laminated shoes). Molded backhoe shoes simply fall apart, sometimes in a day. FlipPad International would offer a molded shoe if we thought it would add value to our backhoe customers. They don't. Molded shoes are cheap to produce, period. Anyway, the 580N series is out and it's molded, again.

We are designing a replacement laminated rubber shoe for the 580N Case series backhoe and it will be available in a few weeks. We promise to offer a strong laminated rubber shoe that will grip, which will stop your Case backhoe from sliding, and it will not chunk out. Our rubber is 100% recycled material, and it's tough stuff. This rugged laminated rubber shoe from FlipPad International will be available in weeks. Case SuperGrip is now available. Call 1-800-FLIPPAD(354-7723) to order.

Do You Double Duty?

2010-12-17T13:42:00.009-05:00

The Double Duty reversible stabilizer pad is the world's first stabilizer for backhoes that offers a reversible rubber. We understand that it is very expensive to repair unintended damage to paved surfaces, so we invented another to help solve this problem, the laminated double-sided rubber stabilizer pad for backhoes. In this short video, we will demonstrate this product, the Double Duty FlipPad. The goal of this unique design is to offer backhoe users a built in spare stabilizer rubber. In other words, instead of replacing a worn out rubber, you simply flip over our rugged laminated Double Duty Pad. As a result, backhoe users will have a brand new wearing surface, saving time, money and the pavement.

Go with the Double Duty from FlipPad International.
