Re: Rubber traction/grippers

I believe the technical term is conveyor belting. Your choice of incline or food grade on McMaster. Choose your type (roughtop or wedgetop) and your material, but make sure it's strong enough.

http://www.mcmaster.com/#conveyor-belts/=19tob7 to start looking through some types. I believe IFI uses wedgetop.
