GroundLock® HDPE Ground Protection Mats – Heavy-Duty Temporary Road & Trackway Panels for Construction, HGV & Plant Access (2400×1200×15 mm, 44 kg)

Professional Ground Protection & Temporary Trackway System

Overview

Trusted by leading UK contractors, hire companies, and event operators, the GroundLock® HD Access Mat delivers professional-grade temporary access and ground protection for heavy plant, vehicles, and pedestrians.

Manufactured in the UK from 100 % recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), each mat provides exceptional strength-to-weight performance — supporting loads over 50 tonnes (depending on ground conditions). Weighing only 44 kg, they’re fully man-handleable, enabling two-person installation without lifting equipment.

Designed for the harshest environments, GroundLock® mats ensure safe, stable movement on soft, wet, or sensitive terrain, preventing ground damage and reinstatement costs.

Key Benefits

• Man-Handleable & Portable: Six integrated hand holes for safe two-person handling and rapid installation.

• Heavy-Duty Strength: Independently load-tested beyond 50 tonnes; ideal for excavators, telehandlers, and HGVs on unstable terrain.

• Superior Traction: Dual-sided non-slip chevron tread provides maximum grip for tyres, tracks, and boots — even in rain or mud.

• Quick-Fit Connection System: GroundLock® Hand-Hole Connectors fit in seconds without tools and cover open holes to prevent trip hazards.

• Reinforcement Options: Add 3 mm mild-steel reinforcement plates for additional rigidity on long-term or heavy-plant projects.

• Eco-Smart & Sustainable: Each mat saves ≈ 1.8 t CO₂ versus virgin plastic production and is 100 % recyclable at end of life.

• Low Transport Cost: Lightweight design allows higher pallet volumes and lower haulage costs.

• Custom Branding: Optional embossing with your company logo, website, or phone number (minimum order applies).
