GroundTuff Pro Matting - Black

GroundTuff PRO is the heavy-duty version of our trusted GroundTuff mat, engineered to provide outstanding temporary ground protection in the most demanding environments.

Manufactured from 100% recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), each mat measures 1200mm × 2400mm × 12.7mm and supports loads of up to 60 tonnes, depending on ground conditions. Designed for strength and practicality, GroundTuff PRO features a dual-sided surface: a 4-bar chequer plate for pedestrian use and a 1-bar chequer plate for vehicle traffic, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Lightweight and easy to handle, each mat includes integrated hand holes for quick lifting and positioning, ensuring safe and efficient installation. Corner and side holes are also incorporated for use with two-way or four-way connectors, allowing mats to be securely linked together to create custom-sized platforms, roadways, or large flooring areas.

The non-slip surface pattern delivers excellent grip and durability, even in challenging conditions. Waterproof and resistant to oils and chemicals, GroundTuff PRO is completely maintenance-free and built to provide reliable, long-term performance.

Ideal for numerous applications, GroundTuff PRO is suitable for groundwork cover, construction sites, industrial flooring, utilities and infrastructure maintenance, temporary roadways and parking, pedestrian walkways, festivals and outdoor events, lawn and landscape protection, paving and surface protection, heritage and eco-sensitive areas, sports and golf course maintenance, emergency response, disaster recovery, and military and defence operations.

Please note: the ground beneath the mats must be structurally sound and free from significant depressions, such as potholes, as uneven surfaces may cause cracking or damage.
