The Challenge: Storage and Safety for a Growing Fleet

A US equipment rental company had recently invested in GroundGuards’ 4'x8' ground protection mats to support their customers’ diverse project needs. Impressed with the mats' strength, versatility, and long service life, they quickly expanded their fleet.

But more mats meant new challenges. They needed a reliable solution for safe transport and efficient yard storage. With higher volumes on site, keeping things organized and secure was essential to protect both staff and visitors.

The GroundGuards Solution: SafeStore Racks

GroundGuards recommended SafeStore Racks as the ideal companion for storing and handling 4'x8' mats.

Made from fully galvanized steel, each rack is designed to keep mats securely strapped and stacked. Built-in ratchet straps hold the mats firmly in place during transport, while forklift channels make it easy to move and position the racks safely around the yard. Vertical stacking helps save valuable space.

This simple but robust solution gave the customer peace of mind, improving both site safety and operational efficiency.

Results & Outcome: A Tidy Yard and a Safer Team

With SafeStore Racks in place, the company could now transport and store a large number of 4'x8' mats securely and neatly. Their yard became a safer working environment, free from loose materials and unnecessary hazards.

The racks also improved traffic flow around the site, made inventory management easier, and reinforced the professional image of their operations. A straightforward upgrade that delivered big results.
