A cam-lock interlocking access mat whose overlapping flanges and twist-lock pins create a continuous, shift-free roadway over uneven, soft ground. It locks together with a simple hex key, and sealed joints stop mud pumping to the surface.
The interlocking access mat solves a problem construction access mats and site access mats share: mats creeping apart under traffic. Overlapping flanges and twist-lock pins tie each mat to its neighbours, so a run behaves like one continuous surface instead of a row of separate boards that hop and separate as wheels cross the joints.
Mats lock together with a simple hex key — no loose hardware to drop in the mud and lose. The same system that speeds installation speeds lifting at the end of the job, and the sealed joints stop mud pumping up between mats, which is what turns a tidy temporary road into a mess after a week of rain.
Available from 4×8 ft up to 7.5×14 ft and 1/2–4 in thick, these composite access mats let you match the mat to the load and the softness of the ground. The quoted figures — up to ~120 t spread and ~600 psi point — assume a competent sub-grade; for heavier point loads use a heavy-duty ground protection mat, and over very soft ground move to an extra-heavy bog mat.
Temporary haul roads, works-and-pedestrian separation, and pipeline right-of-way — anywhere a connected, shift-free surface matters more than the speed of a loose lay. The interlock is the feature you pay for, and it earns its keep on longer runs and repeated traffic — match it to load using ground protection mat load ratings.

Quoted load figures assume a competent, evenly prepared sub-grade. A mat spreads and distributes load — it does not turn soft ground into hard standing — so size to ground bearing pressure (load ÷ contact area).
Overlapping flanges and twist-lock pins tie each mat to its neighbours with a simple hex key — no loose hardware to drop in the mud. The locked run behaves like one continuous surface instead of separate boards that hop and separate as wheels cross the joints, and sealed joints stop mud pumping up between panels.
From 4×8 ft up to 7.5×14 ft, in 1/2–4 in thickness, so you match the mat to the load and the ground. Quoted figures run up to ~120 t spread and ~600 psi point on a competent sub-grade; for heavier point loads step up to the heavy-duty mat, and over very soft ground move to the extra-heavy bog mat.
