About Light Duty Ground Protection Mats

Light duty ground protection mats are an excellent solution when it comes to preserving delicate surfaces. Repeated use by foot traffic, small machinery, and light vehicles can cause long-term damage to the ground, whether it’s tarmac, concrete, or softer surfaces like grass.

Light duty ground protection mats are ideal for these lighter loads, as they’re easy to transport and deploy, yet offer significant protection. There’s no need to use machinery to get the mats into place, as they can be easily moved by hand.

Our light duty ground protection mats are made from 100%-recycled materials and will not splinter – which is a risk with plywood boards. Unlike plywood, they can also be washed down to prevent cross-contamination before being reused at other jobs.

These mats also improve safety, as textured surfaces improve traction and reduce the risk of trips, slips, or falls. For sites where heavy duty access mats aren’t required, light duty ground protection mats are a great alternative.

Uses for Light Duty Ground Protection Mats

Festivals

Festivals typically take place across grassy areas, which can be uneven and put staff at risk of trips when moving equipment. Using light duty ground protection mats to create safe, stable routes for staff can vastly reduce the possibility of these incidents.

Driveways

Placing skips on driveways during renovation work can damage the tarmac or concrete. Light duty ground protection mats can be placed under the skip to guard against marking by spreading the weight of the load.

Marquee flooring

Events held in marquees normally require a flat and stable surface, and this can be created by light duty ground protection mats. They will also prevent long-term damage to the ground and can be easily removed when it’s time to dismantle the marquee.

Garages

Busy garages where mechanics are constantly on the move and operating equipment can benefit from light duty ground protection mats. The flooring in these garages can get damaged, so having ground protection in place is necessary to prevent this and maintain a polished aesthetic.

Key factors to consider when purchasing Light Duty Ground Protection Mats

Load capacity

Load capacity is always a key consideration when purchasing ground protection mats. Light duty ground protection mats are only suitable for foot traffic, small machinery, and light vehicles, so make sure the mat you choose is suitable for your intended use.

Dimensions

Location

Consider the location your light duty ground protection mats will be used, such as indoor or outdoor. Some mats have higher ratings for things soil resistance and UV resistance, while others may be more suitable for wet areas. This information can be found under the product features.

Function

If you’re light duty ground protection mats are going to be a primary working location for your staff, it might be worth considering aspects like anti-fatigue and slip resistance ratings. A higher anti-fatigue can help relieve pressure on the feet, while superior slip resistance can enhance safety in high-risk areas.
