Outriggerpads launches ground protection mat

UK based outrigger mat specialist Outriggerpads is launching a new heavy duty ground protection mat.

Aimed at the rental, events and construction industries, it is manufactured from high density polyethylene and is resistant to water, oil and chemicals, with no chance of corrosion or splintering. A standard steel connector joins the mats together to form a temporary roadway, while a four way link bar is also available for creating a large surface area such as for parking.

Heavy duty ground mat

Outriggerpads business development co-ordinator Charles Grizzle said: “We developed the ground mat in response to demand from our customers, as a complementary product to our spreader plates. We’ve worked hard to deliver a product that is extremely durable, has great load bearing capabilities and provides a superior grip. It is also lightweight, portable, and easy to link together, making it ideal for creating temporary roads or even a parking area.”
