OUR FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

300 ground protection mats loaded on a flat deck truck

01.How much does ground protection mat hire cost?

Hire is $1.90 + GST per mat per day.

A minimum charge of one week applies: $13.30 + GST per mat.

Delivery, collection and any additional labour are separate. See the full hire pricing on our product page.

02.How many mats do I need?

Each mat is 2.4m long and 1.2m wide.

  1. Measure each track or route length.
  2. Allow approximately 2.3m of effective length per mat when overlapping the ends.
  3. Divide the track length by 2.3, then round up.

Include additional mats for turns, entrances and unloading areas.

03.Is there a minimum hire period?

Short hires are available, but the minimum charge is one week per mat.

Tell us the dates you need so we can confirm availability and quote longer hire periods.

04.Can I collect mats from Takanini?

Yes. You’re welcome to collect mats from our Takanini yard.

Call us first to arrange a time and confirm how many mats you need.

05.Do you deliver across Auckland and Waikato?

Yes. Ask for a delivery and collection quote for your Auckland or Waikato site, including Hamilton.

  • Flat deck hire delivery and collection starts from $99 + GST each way.
  • The actual charge depends on distance, quantity and unloading requirements.
  • Additional laying-out or restacking labour is quoted separately.

06.Can trucks or diggers use the mats?

Yes. Loaded Hiab trucks and concrete trucks are generally fine on fairly soft ground. If the ground is very muddy or extremely soft, contact us to discuss the site before booking.

Smaller diggers with rubber tracks can also use the mats. Large excavators, particularly steel-tracked machines, can damage them.

The published capacity is up to 80 tonnes on a solid sub-surface. Mats must not be used to bridge trenches.

07.Do hire mats need cleaning before return?

We supply clean mats. Clean them before return or allow for a $5 + GST per mat cleaning charge where cleaning is required.

Confirm collection and stacking arrangements with our team.

What our customers say

“Kara”

I needed mud mats quickly for community planting event parking space and Liz and the team were exceptional, fast and friendly to deal with. Mats were in place less than 24 hours after first contact and ready to use for my event which involved parking in a muddy paddock. I will be keen to use the company again and appreciate the work involved in getting these to site. Thank you so much Kara Goddard Park Ranger Auckland Council
