Ground Protection Mats - Safe Trak Mat

Size Specifications

Safe Trak Heavy Duty mats can be used over soft or sensitive ground to help transport vehicle loads up to 80 tonnes. Our temporary ground protection mats are essential for the construction, civil engineering and groundwork industries, although they are also very popular in the events sectors for use as temporary driveways and forming parking area ground pads. Most commonly these temporary ground mats are used to both protect and re-enforce the surface below them, whether that be grass, concrete or something else.

Our temporary ground protection mats are manufactured from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE). These mats are ideal for both short and long-term projects providing access for both heavy plant and machinery, but also work personnel and the public. Safe Trak Heavy Duty Ground Mats have strategically positioned hand holes which makes them easy to off-load from trucks or pallets. This also makes moving them around the site and installing them by hand much easier and removes the need for excessive machinery to lay temporary driveways and ground protection pads. 

Safe Trak ground protection mats are highly engineered with two different surfaces that make the mats suitable for both pedestrian and vehicle access ways. On one side of the ground mat, there is an ‘anti-slip’ surface, this substantially improves the grip and reduces sideway slippage, even in the most challenging weather or ground conditions. The other side has a deep traction 'anti-skid' surface specially designed for heavy machinery and large vehicles to drive over. 

Safe Trak ground protection mats can be connected using our simple yet effective Mat Connector. On muddy or slippery surfaces you may also wish to use heavy-duty U pins to fix the ground mats directly to the floor and help to hold them in place when vehicles are driving over them. They are also easy to manoeuvre and can be installed by two people.

Key Features 

• Material – 100% recycled polyethylene 
• Hand holes for easy handling and installation 
• Unique ‘non-slip’ surface for optimal grip along with additional pedestrian surface 
• Unique Hand Hole Connectors 
• Prevents health and safety issues 
• Avoids property, heritage and environmental damage and reinstatement 
• Stops vehicles becoming bogged down 
• Low transportation and handling costs 
• Various connection options for different ground conditions and equipment 

Alternately we also offer a lightweight Medium-Duty Ground Protection Mat, which can take up to 20 tonnes and is more commonly used for light traffic use and pedestrian access. The medium-duty mats and heavier-duty mats require connectors to hold them together. Alternately we offer a slightly smaller interlocking ground mat known as the Safe Site Floor Mat. These mats slot together using a simple tongue and groove system, making this the simplest temporary ground protection mat to install. 

If a heavier-duty form of vehicle access reinforcement is required, then you may also be interested in our Steel Road Plates. These road plates are commonly used to allow vehicles to pass over gaps in the road, such as trenches, or where repair work is required. Standard steel road plates are slightly bigger than ground protection mats at 2500mm x 1250mm, but they are also used as a temporary ground re-enforcement and access solution.
