Large-Format Mats for Temporary Roads and Working Platforms

XINXING Base Mats are large ground protection mats designed for temporary access roads, equipment platforms and vehicle operating areas over mud, grass, sand, snow and other soft or sensitive surfaces.

Available in panel lengths of up to 5900 mm, these large-format mats cover more ground with fewer individual panels. This reduces the number of joints and connectors required when constructing long temporary roads or wide working areas.

Made from durable engineered polyethylene materials, Base Mats are reusable, moisture-resistant and easier to maintain than timber access mats. They are suitable for construction, utilities, oil and gas, renewable energy and infrastructure projects.


Available Base Mat Options

Large ground road matUp to 5900 × 2000 × 28 mmLong temporary roads and broad access routes
Temporary ground mat4000 × 2000 mmConstruction roads and equipment platforms
Thick ground protection mat25–28 mm thicknessRepeated vehicle access over soft ground

Exact weight, connector type and load capability depend on the selected panel dimensions and product configuration.


Benefits of Large Ground Protection Mats

Greater Coverage per Panel

Large panels cover substantially more ground than standard portable mats. This makes them suitable for projects requiring long access routes, broad parking areas or equipment platforms.

Fewer Joints and Connectors

Using fewer panels reduces the number of connection points across a roadway. This can simplify installation, routine inspection and removal after the project.

Stable Temporary Access

Temporary ground mats distribute vehicle loads over a wider surface, helping reduce deep rutting, soil displacement and vehicle bogging on soft ground.

Durable Polyethylene Construction

The polyethylene material resists moisture, impact, abrasion and many common site contaminants. Unlike timber, it does not rot, splinter or become waterlogged.

Raised Traction Surface

The moulded surface pattern helps improve tyre grip on wet, muddy, sandy or snow-covered ground.

Reusable Across Multiple Projects

The panels can be removed, cleaned, inspected and redeployed, helping reduce the cost of temporary road construction and post-project ground restoration.


Typical Applications

Construction and Civil Engineering

Create temporary access for trucks, excavators, loaders, cranes and other construction equipment while protecting prepared or unstable ground.

Oil and Gas Sites

Build temporary roads, service vehicle routes and equipment staging areas around drilling, pipeline and maintenance projects.

Utilities and Power Transmission

Provide access for bucket trucks, cranes, cable installation equipment and maintenance vehicles across farmland, grass and remote terrain.

Wind and Solar Projects

Support construction traffic, component delivery and maintenance access at wind farms, solar farms and power infrastructure projects.

Industrial Work Platforms

Connect multiple panels to create equipment parking zones, material storage areas and temporary operating platforms.

Mud, Marshes and Soft Ground

Spread vehicle loads over a wider area to improve access across wet or low-bearing-capacity surfaces.

Extremely weak ground may also require geotextiles, drainage improvements or additional subgrade preparation.

Choose Base Mats when the project requires large-area coverage and repeated vehicle access. Choose Quick Mats when frequent manual movement and installation in confined areas are more important.


Installation Overview

  1. Inspect the planned route and remove sharp stones, metal and large debris.

  2. Confirm that the ground provides continuous support beneath every panel.

  3. Plan the roadway width, turning areas and equipment platforms.

  4. Use suitable lifting equipment to unload and position the large panels.

  5. Align adjacent panels and secure them with the specified connectors.

  6. Conduct a controlled first vehicle pass and inspect for movement or settlement.

  7. Recheck the roadway after heavy rain, repeated traffic or major changes in temperature.

Base Mats are ground-supported panels. They must not be used as structural bridges over trenches, ditches or unsupported openings.


How to Select the Right Base Mat

The correct panel must be selected according to:

  • Vehicle or equipment type

  • Maximum gross weight

  • Axle load

  • Tyre or track dimensions

  • Ground-bearing capacity

  • Traffic frequency

  • Turning and braking movements

  • Required road length and width

  • Installation duration

  • Available lifting equipment

Total vehicle weight alone is not enough to determine safe mat performance. Ground condition and concentrated wheel, track or outrigger loads must also be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of large ground protection mats are available?

Available products include 4000 × 2000 mm panels and large mats measuring up to approximately 5900 × 2000 mm. Available dimensions depend on the selected product model.

What thicknesses are available?

Base Mat products are commonly available in thicknesses between 25 mm and 28 mm. Other specifications may be produced according to project requirements.

How much area does one panel cover?

A 4000 × 2000 mm mat provides approximately 8 m² of nominal coverage. A 5900 × 2000 mm panel provides approximately 11.8 m² before allowing for joints or overlap.

How much weight can the mats support?

Load capability depends on mat dimensions, thickness, material structure, axle load, tyre pressure and the bearing strength of the underlying ground.

Project information must be reviewed before a suitable model or load recommendation can be confirmed.

Do the mats require mechanical installation?

Yes. Mechanical handling is recommended for large panels. Forklifts, cranes, excavators or approved lifting equipment may be used according to the panel weight and site conditions.

How are Base Mats connected?

Panels are secured through designated connector positions. Connector layouts may differ for straight roads, turning areas and broad working platforms.

Can they be used on muddy or marshy ground?

Yes. Large ground protection mats are designed to improve access over soft and wet surfaces. Extremely weak ground may require geotextiles or additional preparation.

Can steel-tracked machines use the mats?

Steel tracks can create concentrated loads and may damage some surface patterns. Provide the equipment weight, track dimensions and operating method before use.

Can the mats be customised?

Yes. Dimensions, thickness, colour, logo and connector layout may be customised depending on technical feasibility and order quantity.

Are the panels reusable?

Yes. Polyethylene panels can be washed, inspected and reused across multiple projects when correctly installed and maintained.
