Many customers often asked us which kind of mat they should use for their events. Before we reply to them, we usually ask them "where will you use the mats? What kind of vehicle will you use? What kind of ground?" They are very important factors that help you select the right mats.

Here we take 3 examples for your reference.

1, Use them indoor, such as stadium.

In this events, the grounds are usually good and no heavy vehicle to use. So we think 10mm thick of composite ground protection mat is suitable. It can help the light crane, forklift enter and protect the floor or grass from damage.

2, Use them outside, on grass, dry soil, gravel and other hard ground.

If your vehicle weighs less than 30 tonnes(60 tons on concrete), 4'x8'x1/2"(xx12.7mm) is your best choose. UHMWPE will be better than HDPE. But the price of HDPE is better than UHMWPE. As a manufacturer, HDPE mats are our best recommended, because of their better cost performance ratio.

3, Use them on construction sites with heavy or super heavy vehicles on muddy and other soft grounds.

UHWMPE ground protection mats with 38mm thickness will be highly recommended. The popular sizes are x mm, x mm, x mm. Any size can be free to choose. There are also mats with over laps. They also can be used. If you have much more budget, they are not bad choice for you.

Different color, difference use performance. Such as white can protect grass from high temperature, blue can make the mats look nice on beach.

As the leading manufacturer, your any custom requirements can be met. So find a strong manufacturer(avoiding small factory, trading company), will help you get the more satisfied custom ground protection mats and better after-sale gurrantee.

How to check the factory strong or weak? It's easy! Check the photos of their factory, certificates and Canton fair. Not every enterprise can attend Canton fair. And check their mats' market situation in the world.

1. CHOOSE WOOD OR COMPOSITE ACCESS MATS?

You need a safe, stable, flexible and durable foundation to get your work done on timewhile protecting crews and equipment in all conditions and climates. Composite mats (UHMWPE ground protection mats) areengineered to provide that access. Composite construction mats better protect workers and equipment, improve Rol andsafeguard the environment at any job site. Consider the following benefits.

2. WHAT ARE THE GROUND CONDITIONS FOR THE PROJECT?

Determine the surface you will build on: soil, mud, saturated, rocky, grassy, sandy, sloped, etc.Composite mats conform more easily to uneven surfaces and can be joined with pins to build consistent work and access surfaces. The overlapping flanges and locking pins reduce gaps and breaks that lead to excessive wear and tear, damage to equipment and injury to workers. Questions about the soil condition of your site, the bearing capacity of the sub-grade, the load and traffic requirements and duration of the project will all impact the number of matsand the configuration of your road or work site. These issues are best addressed by geoengineers or project managers prior to installation.

3. WHAT IS THE APPLICATION?

Is it a work platform or access road? Once you've determined the application, plan your starting point'Point A' and your ending point'Point B. What are you using the road or platform for?

Factors can include:Changing terrain or sub-grade conditions for a longer

2).Expected daily traffic on the matting

3).Duration of project

4).Need for passing or turn lanes

5).Work site land restoration requirements

Create a site plan. Consult field training guides or an expert adviser about preferred layouts and order of mat placement for best performance for your conditions.

Consider whether you need light-duty composite matting, medium-duty or heavy-duty for the best return on investment. Xinxing group experts have years of experience to advise on the best product for your project.

4. WHAT EQUIPMENT IS INVOLVED?

What trucks and heavy equipment will be operating on the installed roads or platforms during the same hours of operation? Will you need passing or turn lanes?

What is your heaviest piece of equipment?

Always ask for the performance specs and recommended load limits before choosing ground protection to keep your personnel and equipment safe.

For example, the largest and heaviest telescoping cranes have specific safety requirements for ground protection.

5. ARE THERE ANY REQUIREMENTS OR SITE REGULATIONS REGARDING CROSSCONTAMINATION OF CHEMICALS, TOXINS OR INVASIVE PLANTS, STORMWATER RUNOFF OR OTHER RESTRICTIONS?

Environmental regulations in some states or for sensitive sites often require composite matting to ensure that no invasive species or cross-contamination of site-related waste or debris reach the ground.

Research any restrictions for the area you're working in and ensure you understand the requirements for your project before setting up.

Composite mats can be pressure washed before or after removal, reused and transported to new work sites without fear of cross-contamination. Wood mats absorb water and contaminants and cannot be easily or effectively cleaned.

If toxic liquids are present that should not reach the ground, use a waterproof protective layer or geotextile first before placing mats on-site.

6. DO YOU PLAN TO RE-USE THE GROUND PROTECTION FOR ANOTHER PROJECT OR TRANSPORT IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION?

If yes, understand the reusability and ROI benefits of high-quality composite matting compared with wood matting that can save you time and money over the course of the project and subsequent projects.

Composite mats are consistent in quality, don't rot, split or lose strength when wet. They are lighter in weight and require fewer trucks to move.

Companies can transport more composite mats than wood mats on each truck, reducing shipping, labor and fuel costs and saving valuable time in tight operations schedules.

Because composite mats limit damage to the work site, crews also spend less time on cleanup repairing rutting or soil compaction issues on affected property.
