Ground Protection Mats
Plywood versus Polyethylene
Why use expensive mats instead of affordable plywood? Because it's a better long-term investment! Plywood has a limited life space, with a porous surface that soaks up spilled chemicals, water and oils. It can't be cleaned thoroughly, and doesn't come with a standardized load bearing capacity like polyethylene mats. In inclement weather plywood can get slippery and dangerous, whereas polyethylene mats are engineered with non-slip traction surfaces. They are the best investment for your job sites.
Features of Ground Protection Mats
Choosing the appropriate protection mats for your job site is crucial for preserving the environment and preventing your equipment from getting stuck. Ground protection mats are a cost-effective alternative to soggy, warped plywood boards, and here are some of the features you can expect to find:
- Traction designs such as diamond plate and chevron
- Weight capacities up to 120 tons
- Chemical-resistance to spills
- Weather-proof
- Nigh indestructible
- Clear options that reduce absorbed heat for less grass damage
