Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Dura-Base® provides all-weather performance for industries like utilities, oil and gas, and infrastructure. Each 477kg mat measures 4.27m x 2.44m, with a usable surface of 3.96m x 2.13m.

    Its patented twist-lock system securely connects mats with a single 90º turn, eliminating the need for nuts, bolts, or tools, streamlining installation and reducing setup time.

    Our panels are engineered for efficient installation and are available on a dry hire basis. While they can be self-installed with the proper equipment, such as a lorry-loader, HIAB, forklift, or telehandler, we strongly recommend using our expert team.

    With professional handling, we guarantee correct installation and minimise the risk of damage, providing a seamless and reliable setup for your site.

    If you’re unsure about the best products for your site, we also offer a free site survey to assess your needs and recommend the best fit.

    To complete your access solution, we offer a range of aluminium and plastic roadway products, along with essential accessories like slide protection barriers, safe kerb ramps, pedestrian gangways, and more for a customiable setup.
