Heavy-duty HDPE temporary road mats engineered for heavy equipment on soft, muddy, or sensitive terrain. Each 4×8 ft mat spreads load across 2.98 m²; actual ground pressure depends on equipment weight and soil conditions. Two workers can deploy a mat in under 60 seconds. No cranes. No plywood. No stuck equipment.

Two material grades for every ground condition and load requirement. Standard and custom sizes available.
Virgin High-Density Polyethylene. Standard 4×8 ft; thickness and weight customized to your project. Diamond tread anti-slip on both sides. 6 handholds. Compatible with U-Connector interlocking system. Most popular choice for construction access roads, utilities, and landscaping. Tensile strength 20–30 MPa, flexural strength 30–50 MPa, elongation at break 300–600%.
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. For tracked equipment, crane hardstands, and saturated ground. 6–7× the abrasion resistance of carbon steel. Tensile strength 30–50 MPa, impact strength 20–30 kJ/m². Recommended when machines exceed 200 tons or when ground conditions are extremely soft. Thickness customized to your project.
Available in 3×8ft, 3×6ft, 2×8ft, 2×6ft, 2×4ft and metric sizes (1220×2440mm, 910×2440mm, 610×2440mm, 910×1830mm, 610×1830mm, 610×1220mm). Thickness customized. Custom colors, logo engraving, and serial numbering for fleet management and theft prevention.

Modular connectors lock mats together end-to-end or side-by-side, creating continuous roadways. Images below show each type.
Here's what most suppliers won't tell you: plywood costs less upfront but you replace it 4× per year. Over 10 years, 12 sheets of plywood replaced quarterly costs $36,000. A single set of HDPE mats costs less than a third of that — and lasts the full decade.
At ~40 kg per 4×8 ft panel, two workers hand-carry and position a mat in 30–60 seconds. Steel road plates need a crane or forklift for every move. That's labor cost you don't pay.
UHMWPE grade delivers 6–7× the abrasion resistance of carbon steel. HDPE grade handles hundreds of equipment passes without cracking, warping, or deforming.
Unlike plywood that absorbs moisture and delaminates after 3–5 uses, HDPE mats are completely waterproof. They emerge from mud, rain, and snow unchanged. Just hose them off.
UV-stabilized formulation won't become brittle in Arctic cold or soft in desert heat. Same mat works on frozen tundra in winter and scorching sand in summer.
No fumigation needed for international shipping. End-of-life mats can be downcycled into new products. Zero toxic chemicals in production. Meets EU circular economy requirements.
One investment covers hundreds of projects. At ~$70/mat (bulk FOB), a 50-mat set pays for itself in under 13 months compared to replacing plywood every quarter.
Matunion ground protection mats are used across construction, energy, events, utilities, and landscaping.
Temporary access roads for excavators, dump trucks, and concrete mixers over soft ground.
Drilling rig platforms, pipeline access, camp mats, and tank farm foundations.
Wind turbine delivery routes, solar installation access, and substation pads.
Concert pitch protection, festival walkways, and stadium turf covers.
Power line maintenance access, pipeline crossings, and railway access points.
Tree service protection, cemetery access, and golf course path protection.
300–320 mats (12.7mm). Covers ~900 m² of roadway. Approx. 12–13 tons total weight.
550–580 mats (12.7mm). Covers ~1,650 m² of roadway. Most cost-effective for bulk orders.
FOB Qingdao/Shanghai/Ningbo. CIF and DDP terms available. 15–20 days production, 20–40 days sea freight depending on destination.
