Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to connect ground protection mats?
- Yes, always connect with fixings. At least 2 per mat, more for slopes or turning traffic.
- Can mats be used to span gaps?
- No, fill or grade the ground. Mats must follow contours, not bridge voids.
- Are they safe for use with cranes or MEWPs?
- No, point loads need dedicated outrigger pads or Temporary Works approval.
- Do mats require cleaning?
- Yes, especially when moved between sites. We meet DEFRA’s “leave clean” biosecurity standard.
- Can mats be used on hardstanding?
- Yes, but they must be anchored or strapped to prevent sliding under vehicles.
- What about hot weather?
- Leave expansion gaps and use slots properly to avoid buckling.
