Waterhog Plus Forklift Mats

Waterhog Plus Forklift Mat: Sanitising Solution for Forklift Trucks

Maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety in your facility with the Waterhog Plus Forklift Mat. Designed specifically for hygiene-critical environments, this mat acts as a robust sanitising wheel bath that effectively prevents the tracking of contaminants into your workspace.

Whether you are managing a food production line, a pharmaceutical lab, or a busy distribution centre, the Waterhog Plus offers a unique hybrid design that both decontaminates and cleans heavy wheeled traffic.

Why Choose Waterhog Plus?

• Integrated Dam System: Features a unique raised border designed to contain up to 6 litres of sanitising solution per square metre, ensuring comprehensive wheel contact.
• Aggressive Scrape & Wipe: The dual-action upper surface uses rubber-reinforced nubs to scrub tyres and footwear, removing dirt and debris and trapping it below the surface to prevent further tracking.
• Industrial Durability: Unlike standard mats, the 6.4mm high nubs are reinforced with rubber to ensure they will not crush down under the weight of loaded forklifts, maintaining performance for the lifetime of the mat.
• Chemical-Resistant Nitrile Rubber: Constructed with a 100% Nitrile rubber backing, this mat is highly resistant to oils, chemicals, salt, and ice melt, and it will not crack, curl, or split over time.
• Quick-Drying & Anti-Static: The P.E.T. face is made from post-consumer recycled materials, dries rapidly, and features anti-static properties for use in sensitive industrial zones.

Essential for Health & Safety

The Waterhog Plus is more than just a cleaning tool; it is a critical safety asset for your facility:

• Reduces Skidding: By removing water and moisture from forklift tyres, the mat helps prevent dangerous skidding accidents.
• Improved Air Quality: By trapping dust and dirt within the mat, it prevents airborne particles from circulating through your facility.
• Slip Protection: Low-profile, ramped edges ensure a smooth and safe transition for forklifts, trolleys, and wheelchairs.

Applications & Installation

This mat is highly recommended for Food & Drink Production, Healthcare Facilities, Agriculture, and Warehousing with hygiene-critical zones.

Available Sizes:

• 90 x 150cm
• 90 x 300cm
• 115 x 180cm

Installation Tip: For permanent or high-traffic placement, we recommend securing the mat in place with our industrial double-sided tape to ensure it remains stationary during use.

Important Usage Rules:

To ensure maximum product longevity and performance, forklifts must always drive straight over the mat. Drivers should strictly avoid turning, pivoting, or braking aggressively while on the surface, as the extreme rotational torque can tear the fibres and damage the mat structure. Additionally, the mat must be kept clear of stationary loads; pallets, crates, or heavy equipment should never be placed or dragged across the surface, as this can crush the raised nubs and compromise the liquid-retention system.
