Why use a ground protection mat?

Composite ground protection matting is designed to protect and stabilize desirable surfaces from damage or degradation due to overuse. Using ground protection mats prevents damage caused by heavy use.

Why choose AlturnaMATS?

Load capacity - best in class

UV stable

Made from 100 percent recycled plastic and UV stable so they won’t break down over time.

Made in USA

Composition

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)

Withstand extreme temperatures

'Alturna' and 'Versa' mats will withstand extreme temperatures, and won’t rot or deteriorate.

Handholds

All mats can be ordered with or without handholds on all sides.

Aggressive tread

The most aggressive tread on the market, maximum traction.

Heavy Construction

AlturnaMATS are better suited for use in heavy construction areas due to an aggressive diamond tread pattern, offering superior traction to construction vehicles, especially in muddy or wet conditions.

Best for: Construction, drilling, tree care, and landscaping applications.

• Diamond tread
• Available in all sizes

Foot Traffic, Carts & More

VersaMATS are suited for areas with higher pedestrian traffic. They have a less aggressive low profile (oblong) tread pattern, more suited to pedestrians, wheelbarrows, and carts.

Best for: Pedestrians, smaller wheels. Can still be used with heavy equipment.

• Low profile oblong tread
• Available in all sizes, except for 2x6' and 3x6'

Why have one smooth side?

There are a few reasons why smooth sides can be recommended for your application. This includes:

• When covering hard surfaces that are non-forgiving such as concrete, asphalt, and pavers.
• Using treaded mats on warm or hot asphalt will leave tread imprints in the asphalt hence using smooth-sided mats on asphalt.
• When making turns with wheeled or track equipment it is more desirable to use a mat with one smooth side facing up.
• When piling soils or aggregate on top of mats it is very advantageous to use smooth-sided mats which make removal much easier.

Tread Comparison

Sizing

Every size of AlturnaMAT and VersaMAT has been tested to the same weight and load capacities. Below is a summary to help you select the correct size.

• 4x8' - The industry standard and most common size. Covers everything from large construction equipment to pedestrians.
• 3x8' - Used when price, weight, and space are a consideration. More restrictive with regards to maneuvering.
• Smaller sizes - Typically smaller projects and residential use, or when transport or handling flexibility is needed.

Size Comparison

Choosing your color

Both black and white mats have the identical characteristics, aside from the color difference.

• Black - The most cost-effective mat and most widely used, suitable for most applications.
• White - Generally used to prevent grass from "browning" over longer use. It reduces ground temperature and allows a small amount of light through the mat. Perfect for work on golf courses or gardens.

Black

Most popular and best value.

White

Best for grass and delicate surfaces.
