Ground Protection Mats, Black HDPE 2440 x 1220 x 12.7mm

Need to get a machine, trailer or crowd across grass without leaving ruts? Lay these black HDPE ground protection mats down first. Each one is a 2440 x 1220 mm panel, 12.7 mm thick, with a raised diamond tread on both faces so wheels and boots grip even when it's wet.

Specifications

• Material: black high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Panel size: 2440 x 1220 mm (8 x 4 ft), 2.98 m² of cover per mat
• Thickness: 12.7 mm (½ in)
• Weight: roughly 36 kg each, worked out from the size and a typical HDPE density
• Tread: raised diamond pattern on both faces, so either side can go down
• Handles: 4 moulded slot handles
• Corner holes: one per corner for joining mats or pegging them down
• Rated load: up to 120 tonnes (manufacturer's rating)

Where they get used

• Event and marquee walkways, stage and equipment pads on turf
• Backyard access for bobcats, tipper trailers and soil deliveries during landscaping and pool builds

• Builders, fencers and tree crews working on wet or soft ground
• Non-slip floors for ute trays and trailers, with the mat cut down to fit

Why HDPE beats timber and steel

• No rotting, rusting or splinters
• Takes on no water, so it stays the same weight wet or dry
• Shrugs off fuel, oil and most site chemicals
• Hose it down and reuse it on the next job
• Two people can carry and lay a mat without a crane

Getting the best from your mats

The 120 tonne rating comes from the manufacturer. Real-world capacity depends on the ground underneath, how the load spreads and how the mats are laid out. Put them on fairly level ground, join them through the corner holes and drive across at a slow, steady pace.

Pricing, cutting and freight

Mats are sold as whole panels. Volume pricing kicks in automatically at 5 mats and again at 10. Want one cut down, say for a ute tray? Buy the whole mat and we'll cut it to size for a cutting fee. We ship Australia-wide, or you can collect from our Gold Coast warehouse.
