Clear ground protection mats from AlturnaMATS enable sunlight to pass through for less grass burn where landscape care is critical.

Made from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the mats have a 120-ton rating and are available in sizes ranging from 2 feet by 4 feet to 4 feet by 8 feet. Depending on size, the mats range in weight from 21.5 to 86 pounds.

The 1/2-inch thick mats can be linked using the Single Turn-A-Link that lock the mats end-to-end or the Double Turn-A-Link that locks four mats together, creating a portable roadway or working platform. Made of 1/2-inch round hot steel, the links also are available in flat hot roll steel 1/4-inch thick and 3/4-inch wide. Both styles have a galvanized coating for rust protection.

“Each mat comes drilled in the corners for use with the linking system,” says Brooke Smith, marketing manager for AlturnaMATS. “They’re not going to blow away. If you do get into an area where it’s extremely windy or there are storms coming, you’ll want to stake them down.”

The clear mats can be placed under portable restrooms to protect landscape from foot traffic or used on job sites without smothering grass roots and preventing new growth. Easily stacked, the diamond-plate, weather-resistant mats can be stored outside.

“If you’re on a job site where it’s dirty or muddy, you can use a power washer to clean them,” she says.

The clear mats are designed to complement AlturnaMATS’s original black and white ground protection mats. 888/544-6287; www.alturnamats.com.
