    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.

FAQs

What makes Dura-Base suitable for environmentally sensitive areas?

The overlapping lip design prevents mud and water ingress, minimising ground disturbance. Its durable HDPE composition protects soil structure and reduces vegetation damage, while preventing the spread of soil-borne contaminants.


How are the mats connected?

Dura-Base uses a patented twist-lock fastener system that secures each mat with a single 90º turn, requiring no nuts, bolts, or additional tools.


What is the load capacity of Dura-Base mats?

Dura-Base can support compressive loads of up to 40kg/cm² (600 psi), making it ideal for heavy plant and machinery.


How do Dura-Base mats ensure safety?

The mats feature a non-slip tread pattern for a safe working surface and an overlapping lip system that eliminates trip hazards.


Can Dura-Base mats be used on soft or uneven ground?

Yes, Dura-Base mats are designed to follow surface contours, providing reliable performance even on soft or uneven terrain.


What are the dimensions and weight of a Dura-Base mat?

Each mat measures 4.27m x 2.44m, with a usable surface area of 3.96m x 2.13m, and weighs 477kg.


How do Dura-Base mats prevent static build-up?

The mats include an additive that increases conductivity, dispersing static charge safely. Please note that it does not conduct electricity. 


What industries benefit most from Dura-Base?

Industries such as utilities, oil and gas, construction, and environmental protection projects widely use Dura-Base for reliable ground protection on sensitive terrain.


How durable are Dura-Base mats in harsh conditions?

Dura-Base mats are engineered for all-weather performance, offering exceptional strength, flexibility, and longevity even in extreme environments.
