Product Description
Protective Matting Systems - Portable Access Roadway & Temporary Flooring
Create a semi-permanent portable roadway and working platform for vehicles and equipment up to 80 tons with DuraDeck ground protection and access mats.
A superior alternative to plywood – which cracks, splinters, warps and gets waterlogged – DuraDeck is flexible to allow it to follow the contours of the ground without cracking or breaking and is durable enough to last through hundreds of uses. Built to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures, DuraDeck can be used in nearly any weather conditions over virtually any terrain.
DuraDeck 1.27 CM thick recycled polyethylene plastic mats feature a variety of surface textures to suit your application and are extremely durable, weather-proof, and UV-resistant. Available in black or beige, standard mats measure 1.2M x 2.4 M, but other sizes are available, depending on your application.
Simple to Transport, Use & Install
Simply lay the sections and lock into place with the DuraLink™ connection system. Sections can be connected side-to-side and end-to-end enabling you to create a continuous roadway or platform of nearly any size. Mats stack neatly and fit in the back of a pick-up truck. Move mats with the DuraHook™ tool or with ropes.

DD2 shares all of the features of DD1 but offers a more attractive and pedestrian-friendly surface. It is the ideal solution for creating a pedestrian walkway, construction site, pathways, concerts, vehicle parking area and staging area for supplies and equipment.
DD2 has a pedestrian-friendly design on one side – assuring safe foot traffic and providing an ideal platform for working personnel and crews. Use DD2 to create an instant, temporary walkway over virtually any type of terrain.
The DD2 pedestrian-friendly surface is also perfect for protection of concrete, asphalt, stone or aggregate surfaces, where the rugged pattern may be too aggressive and could potentially cause damage. The pedestrian-friendly design may be placed face down on such surfaces to provide protection.
DD2’s second side has the same rugged-traction cleat pattern as DD1, allowing DD2 to be used for trucks, vehicles and equipment when flipped over. This is our most versatile DuraDeck mat – as it can be used for vehicles and pedestrians.

DuraDeck3 and 4 were designed with muddy terrain in mind. The smooth underside won’t get stuck in mud as it dries, and is easily hosed off when dismantled.
Choose DD3 with the pedestrian friendly surface for outdoor special events and walkways where muddy conditions are expected. The slightly raised pattern is comfortable to walk and stand on, but provides safety and traction.
Choose DD4 for construction sites or concert load-in areas where trucks and heavy equipment can roll easily over the rugged cleat top-surface.
Integrated Connection System
Connect mats with DuraLink connection system. DuraLinks keep mats securely connected – single links connect two mats end-to-end; double links connect four mats to create a wider platform.
