What Makes Our Mats Better?
Eight Handles
Each mat has eight handles, two on each of the edges which makes them super easy to load/unload or move around.
Some manufacturers supply mats with no handles or one on each of the short sides, how they expect these to be loaded by hand we don't know.
Tread Pattern on Both Sides
The diamond tread pattern on our mats are on both sides so they can be placed on the ground with either side facing up.
This tread pattern not only gives grip for vehicles driving over them but also grips to the surface underneath the mats.
Additional Surface Grip
In addition to the tread pattern our mats are manufactured with an ant-slip surface. The entire surface of the mat is covered in small dots which adds extra grip in the wet.
Take it from us, we have a few early version mats with just the tread pattern... the surface grip makes a huge difference when they're wet!
Connectors
All our mats are manufactured with a hole in each of the corners, using connectors means you can link the mats up if they are moving around.
We generally find the mats can move if going up to down slopes and its fairly muddy. Usually on flat ground they stay put.
Easy to Move Around
The mats weigh 40kg each, this makes it easy enough for one person to drags the mats around if they need to be moved.
We have found that the thickness of our mats are a good balance between weight and their carrying capacity.
