Plywood has long been the traditional method of ground protection but often breaks during first use. It splinters, warps, becomes water-logged and is awkward to handle and could cause injury.
Ground-Guard Protection Mats are so light and easy to handle that you don’t even require a HIAB lorry to set them out. They can either be laid loose for temporary access, or clipped together (without tools) to form semi-permanent roadways and car parks.
Ground-Guards have been field tested in extreme cold and intense heat and are backed by a full 2 year warranty.
Ground-Guards are available in three finishes: Standard (ST), Walk (W) and Smooth (SM). The table below shows which finishes are available for each size.
- Standard
Standard tread boards have interlocking grips on both sides for maximum traction. - Walk
Walk tread boards have a close pattern of raised grips, suitable for pedestrian walkways. - Smooth
Smooth surface boards are suitable for tracked vehicles.
