Protecting Ground and Performance: Discover the Versatility of Checkers' Medium-Duty Mats
Ensuring the protection of the underlying ground has become a very important matter in dynamic industrial environments which are dominated by heavy machinery and equipment. Difficult terrain such as mud, snow, ice, and sand can extend project timelines by impeding access and slowing work progress. Additionally, vehicle-related damage to the terrain can have significant environmental repercussions. Without proper protection, surfaces can suffer damage, safety hazards can arise, and operational efficiency can be compromised.
Unlike alternatives such as plywood which is weaker, can splinter or rot, and is easily damaged by water or aluminium plates which are very heavy, expensive and a target for theft, our medium duty ground protection mats are manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) meaning they are lightweight yet durable, UV resistant, weather resistant and can mold to undulating ground conditions. Used in industries such as events, construction, forestry, military, mining, oil and gas, and environmental restoration, their versatility and ability to protect surfaces, enhance safety, and facilitate efficient operations makes them vital in these sectors.
Here are four key features that sets Checkers’ ground protection mats apart:
1. Versatile and Adaptable
Checkers’ medium-duty mats can be used across a wide range of industries and applications. Their flexibility allows them to be utilized in diverse settings and applications without compromising on performance including as roadways for heavy machinery and vehicles or as a safe walkway for pedestrians and cyclists.
2. Interlocking and Connectable
These mats feature interlocking mechanisms that allow them to be easily connected to one another. This ensures a seamless and safe roadway or walkway, preventing any gaps or displacement during use from movements by equipment or machinery.
3. UV and Weather Resistant
HDPE is UV resistant, meaning that our medium-duty mats can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without experiencing discoloration or degradation. Additionally, HDPE possesses excellent weather resistance, allowing the mats to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and other outdoor elements.
4. Lightweight and Durable
Manufactured from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), our medium-duty ground protection mats strike the perfect balance between strength and weight. These mats are lightweight, making them easy to handle and maneuver by two people, while still providing exceptional durability to withstand heavy equipment and machinery.

Industries
Construction
Ground protection mats play a pivotal role in the construction industry by safeguarding the terrain from potential damage caused by heavy machinery. This proactive measure not only helps avert expensive repairs and delays but also elevates overall safety standards.
Entertainment
Ground protection mats find application in entertainment venues to shield the ground from potential vehicle-induced damage, including forklifts and golf carts. This proactive measure not only reduces the risk of accidents but also extends the longevity of the playing surface.
Forestry
Ground protection mats can create stable access roads within forested areas. In ecologically sensitive areas like wetlands or areas with fragile ecosystems, these mats prevent the heavy machinery from damaging the delicate environment, allowing forestry operations to proceed with minimal ecological impact.
