Why should I choose MaxiTrack?

World's most heavy-duty man-handable ground protection mat - overlapping edges - easy-to-use connection system - 1" thick provides ample rigidity for superior weight displacement

Do I need equipment to move MaxiTrack?

No. MaxiTrack weighs just 88 pounds, so 2 people can install it. However, 4 mats can be connected together to create a larger unit. This would require equipment.

What are the advantages of MaxiTrack over 1/2" mats?

Overlapping edges allow MaxiTrack to function as 1 mat, rather than individual mats. The 1" thickness drastically increases the weight displacement - virtually eliminating ruts. MaxiTrack fills the void between light duty 1/2" mats & extreme duty larger mats.

Our Heritage

Our story began in Leeds, UK in 1969, with a modest lawn mower repair business founded by David Michel. This venture evolved over time, and by 2002, we had incorporated the renowned AlturnaMats® brand into our offerings, amassing a wealth of experience in the sales and rental of composite mats.
