Track Mats – Ground Protection Units for Hire
When you need a simple, effective way to protect existing surfaces and get plant moving safely across soft or sensitive ground, Track Mats are the go-to solution. Commonly used to protect surfaces such as grass or polished concrete from damage by plant, they can also be used to aid traversal over soft surfaces such as dirt and sand.
Made from HD polyethylene, Track Mats are lightweight ground protection mats suitable for rubber-tyred or rubber-tracked vehicles up to 30 tonnes. Each mat features hand cut-outs for easy carrying, won’t rot or absorb water, and can be linked together using an overlapping pinnable design to prevent soil seeping through and ensure maximum ground protection.
As the demand for less environmental impact on job sites increases, having an easy-to-transport and lightweight solution that allows you to leave existing or new ground undamaged by plant is a major benefit for contractors. The result? Happier clients, happier neighbours, and a smaller footprint, all from a mat you can move and stack without machinery.
