Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Classic-Natural compare to Standard Duty and Heavy Duty mats?
The Classic-Natural is GPM's highest-capacity mat at 90 tons, compared to 40,000 lbs for Standard Duty and 60,000 lbs for Heavy Duty. It also features rubber-infused HDPE for added flexibility and grip, and a longer 15–20 year service life.

Why is the mat translucent white?
The natural/white color reduces heat absorption compared to darker mats, which helps protect vegetation and plants beneath the mat during extended use.

What does the dual traction pattern do?
The deep "V" pattern on the top surface channels mud and water for traction under equipment, while the diamond pattern on the underside grips the ground to prevent the mat from shifting.

Are these mats reusable?
Yes — the Classic-Natural is engineered for 15–20 years of repeated use across multiple job sites.
