   WayTop ground protection mats can help to eliminate the problem of driving vehicles across a muddy construction site or on delicate sports turf or lawns. These roadway mats create a safe way to move vehicles and equipment of almost any size across an area with soft ground underneath. Whether you want to avoid tearing up the grass or sinking in mud, these mats can spread the weight of the vehicle to prevent tires or treads from digging into the ground.

   Creating a temporary roadway can give you continuous access to the job site, even when the ground is still soft from rain. It also demonstrates to the customer that you are invested in protecting their property, and can reduce cleanup time and cost.

Maximize Vehicle Traction for Easier Maneuverability at Each Job Site

   These mats are availble in two surface texture options. You can either get the pattern plate tread on both sides or you can get the the pattern plate tread on one side with the opposite side with a smooth texture. The pattern plate tread maximizes your vehicle traction to improve maneuverability for time-saving convenience and overall safety.
   Laying the patterns/smooth mat with the smooth side up is a great choice when you need a walkway mat for foot traffic.
Additionally, these high-density polyethylene, or HDPE, mats are supremely strong. They’re rated to support up to 120 tons, depending on ground conditions.

Size Options

   The Ground Protection Mat is available with either the 3×8 foot or the 4×8 foot mats. Choose the size that works best for you. Both sizes feature a 120 ton capacity. The larger 4×8 mats are an excellent choice for large construction equipment and where you need to create a working platform. The smaller 3×8 foot size may be a cost-savings measure if you don’t need the larger mats.

Available in Black or Clear Colors

   Black ground protection mats are the most common, but if you are a landscaper or often do work over lawns, you may want to choose clear ground protection mats.

   These clear ground protection mats not only help to protect the ground from machinery, they also help to keep the grass growing. These clear grass mats for yard areas allow sunlight through, so you won’t quickly kill off the grass while you’re working. As a result, you can leave the mats in place on a lawn without having to pick them up or reseed the yard after you’re done.

Invest in Quality, Long-Lasting Ground Protection Mats for Your Business

   Plywood weakens and rots when it’s constantly exposed to moisture, leading to warping and splintering. You’ll have to constantly replace it.
