Use Ground Protection Mats for Heavy Equipment
What Are Ground Protection Mats?
Ground protection mats are high-density polyethylene or composite panels designed to withstand heavy equipment and rough terrain. Unlike plywood or other temporary solutions, they’re reusable, weather-resistant, and built for long-term jobsite performance.
Key Benefits:
- Distribute weight from vehicles and equipment
- Prevent turf or soft ground from being torn up
- Reduce mud tracking and site mess
- Improve traction and safety
- Withstand loads up to 120 tons depending on the mat
