1. Protect the Ground and Machinery:
  • As the name suggests, lawn protection mats are designed to keep the ground you will be working on safe for the duration of your job.
  • These ground protection mats protect a wide variety of terrain, including: delicate surfaces, grassy areas, and sidewalks.
  • Beyond keep someone’s lawn clear of tire tracks, it also protects the heavy machinery you plan to drive overtop the worksite. You don’t need to worry about a sharp stone, bricks, or anything that would risk popping a tire or damaging the undercarriage of your heavy-duty vehicle if you put down a ground mat first! These ground mats for equipment are 0.5’’ thick, dulling or completely eliminating any potential threat on a worksite.
2Keep Worksites Safe:
  • Slippery, wet, and muddy conditions pose a safety risk for many reasons. People can slip and fall, potentially harming themselves, and equipment can slide or get stuck and require being towed or repaired – which costs time and money.
  • Ground mats for heavy equipment can help protect workers and your equipment to prevent accidents like trips, falls, and equipment becoming loose.
  • The benefits of ground protection mats in wet or muddy conditions are as follows:
  • Keep workers and equipment clean and dry.
  • Prevent tipping, stuck wheels, and falls.
  • Bridge streams/provide dry walkways.
  • Wipe down easily!
  • Not water-absorbent.
3Slip-resistant:
  • Because of the polyethylene material, they’re made of and the double-sided texture, heavy-duty ground protection mats provide great traction for people and vehicles to cross over safely – even if the weather is wet or muddy!
4Cost-effective:
  • By keeping projects on schedule and keeping equipment and your workers safe, these lawn protection mats will save you money in the long run, making them fantastic investments!
  • Additionally, polyethylene is a very durable material, which means these ground protection mats do not deteriorate or become disfigured easily allowing them to be used over and over again for years to come!
