Protect driveways, lawns, and site access routes with a heavy-duty, ultra-durable ground protection mat. Designed for medium-to-heavy vehicles, site machinery, and pedestrian access, the GroundShield Access 35 distributes load weights effectively to prevent rutting, turf damage, and surface cracking across soft or sensitive ground.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
- 35-Tonne Load Support: Engineered to withstand weight capacities of up to 35 tonnes, making it ideal for skip lorries, delivery vans, and light plant equipment.
- Dual-Sided Anti-Slip Surface: Features a micro-traction surface pattern on both sides to provide secure grip for vehicle tyres and safe foot traffic in wet or muddy conditions.
- Durable HDPE Construction: Manufactured from 100% recyclable High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) that will not rot, crack, splinter, or absorb water.
- Integrated Handholds: Features 4 ergonomic handholds for fast, efficient two-person carrying, positioning, and loading.
- Versatile Connection Options: Easily joined together using optional 2-way or 4-way metal link connectors—or secured quickly with heavy-duty cable ties for temporary installations.
- Large 1.1m x 2.4m Sheet Size: Each mat provides 2.64m² of instant ground protection, allowing you to cover large surface areas rapidly.
- Coverage Calculator: Each tile covers 2.64m² (110cm x 240cm). Simply divide your total square meterage by 2.64 to calculate the exact number of mats needed.

Ideal Applications
- Driveway & Block Paving Protection: Prevent cracking and oil stains on paved driveways during building projects, skip placement, or tree surgery.
- Temporary Site Access Roads: Create instant access pathways for utility vehicles, delivery vans, and site equipment over soft or unmade ground.
- Event Ground Cover: Protect turf during large outdoor events, temporary car parking, and equipment staging.
Note: Ground beneath the matting should be as flat as possible and free from large voids to achieve maximum load distribution performance.
