Vehicle Ground Protection Mats

Vehicle Ground Protection Mats provide a strong and practical temporary access solution for construction sites, civil engineering works, groundwork projects, events, and outdoor areas where vehicles or heavy plant need to move across soft, wet, or sensitive ground.

Each mat measures 2.4m x 1.2m and is designed to support vehicle, heavy plant, and pedestrian access when installed correctly on suitable ground conditions. The mats can be connected together to form temporary roadways, access routes, parking areas, and working pads, helping to reduce surface damage and the risk of vehicles becoming stuck.

There are several ways to connect these mats together. They come fit with handle holes on each side of the mat. These make them easy for carrying and plaing in place. You can then use our connectors with steel plates to connect the mats together by coming up through each of these handle holes on the mats as they lay next to each other. The steel cap on these connectors is then simply screwed down to hold the mats in place. These connectors hold the mats firmly in place, however people do also often use heavy duty cable ties to hold the mats together. These are less rigid than the connectors and allow more movement in the mats, however these offer a great cost effective solution if the mats are being installed and then uninstalled over a short period of time. 

Key benefits:

• Heavy duty site access Suitable for vehicle movement, heavy plant access, and pedestrian routes across temporary work areas.
• Temporary roadway solution Connect multiple mats together to create access tracks, ground protection pads, and site routes.
• Dual surface design One side supports vehicle traction, while the other provides a more pedestrian-friendly grip surface.
• Fast manual handling Integrated hand holes make the mats easier to position, move, and install on site.
• Surface protection Helps reduce damage to grass, soft ground, and sensitive surfaces during construction or event works.

Common applications:

• Construction sites Create stable access for plant, machinery, delivery vehicles, and site teams.
• Groundworks and civil engineering Protect soft ground while maintaining safe movement across temporary work areas.
• Events and outdoor venues Build temporary roadways, car park areas, walkways, and access routes.
• Heavy plant movement Support machinery access where ground conditions may otherwise cause rutting or disruption.
  
  

Ground Mat Connectors and Stillages are available to help secure, transport, and store the mats efficiently. Load performance depends on ground conditions, correct installation, temperature, and the type of vehicle or machinery being used, so always assess the site before installation.
