Gmats Ground Protection Mats

Gmats Ground Protection Mats are industrial-strength mats that won’t splinter or sink into the mud. These mats are crafted from high density polyethylene plastic and are strong enough to support vehicles weighing up to 60 tons, including skid steers, tractors, excavators, and more. Weighing just 80 pounds each, the mats are easy to use and can help to prevent damaged grass and ruts, keep vehicles from getting stuck in the mud, and prevent damage to existing driveways. As a result, they’re often used to construct temporary roadways at construction sites, and schools also use them as track mats as sport floor protection to cover track and field ovals, protecting the oval from football and soccer cleats.

For the Best Flooring Protection Products Available

Protective floor coverings for gyms and other types of floors are often necessary to protect surfaces from anything and everything from pedestrian traffic, staging, and concert or event equipment to heavy equipment. Having an adequate temporary flooring system in place assures the host facility’s surface will be protected and the event participants will have a safe and good time.


There are certain things to consider when selecting temporary flooring. You will want to select an option that is relatively easy to assemble and transport, and you will want to make sure it is suitable for the subfloor you are trying to protect. Make sure it’s suitable for heavy foot traffic and the weight of other items needed for the event (sometimes including forklifts or other vehicles), and you will likely want it to combine style with safety and comfort.

Choosing the best options suitable for events doesn’t need to be complicated because Greatmats has a friendly and knowledgeable staff that will help you decide which option will best suit your needs and preferences. With the best pricing and guarantees available, you can be confident in the purchase of whichever product or products you choose.
