Protect driveways, lawns, and site access routes with a heavy-duty, ultra-durable ground protection mat. Designed for extreme loads, heavy plant machinery, and pedestrian access, the GroundShield MaxLoad 100 distributes load weights effectively to prevent rutting, turf damage, and surface cracking across soft or sensitive ground.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
- 100-Tonne Load Support: Engineered to withstand weight capacities of up to 100 tonnes, making it ideal for heavy plant machinery, tracked diggers, and site vehicles.
- Dual-Sided Anti-Slip Surface: Features a 6-bar chequered plate pattern on both sides to provide exceptional non-slip traction for machinery, vehicles, and pedestrians.
- Durable Recycled PVC Construction: Manufactured from 95% recycled PVC that will not rot, crack, or absorb water, offering exceptional long-term durability.
- Integrated Handholds: Features built-in handholds for fast layout, efficient manual positioning, and straightforward relocation across site areas.
- Versatile Connection Options: Easily joined together using 2-way or 4-way connectors (Standard or Galvanised)—or secured quickly with heavy-duty cable ties for temporary layouts.
- Large 1.23m x 2.43m Sheet Size: Each mat provides nearly 3m² (2.99m²) of instant ground protection, allowing you to cover extensive surface areas rapidly.
- Coverage Calculator: Each tile covers 2.99m² (123cm x 243cm). Simply divide your total square meterage by 2.99 to calculate the exact number of mats needed.

Ideal Applications
- Civil Engineering & Construction Sites: Create temporary haul roads, site compounds, crane staging pads, and heavy machinery pathways.
- Demolition & Heavy Plant Access: Protect soft or unmade ground from deep rutting caused by tracked diggers, heavy lorries, and site plant.
- Outdoor Events & Temporary Parking: Protect turf and soil during large outdoor markets, festivals, sporting events, and temporary parking zones.
Note: Ground beneath the matting should be as flat as possible and free from large voids or deep potholes to achieve maximum load distribution performance.
