Heavy-duty Ground Protection Mats​

We stock trackway boards that are suitable for demanding outdoor conditions and can support heavy vehicles such as lorries and buses driving on them. Trackway boards can be used on a range of different terrains, including muddy fields, gravel tracks, unit bases, and technical pads where vehicle access is often required. At S2L we also have a range of vehicles available for hire to assist with running your production set smoothly.

Trackway systems distribute weight evenly across the surface, reducing the risk of sinking or surface damage. This is particularly important during wet weather conditions and when working on soft ground.

Ground mats are easy to deploy and reposition, allowing productions to adapt layouts as filming progresses. This flexibility ensures access routes remain secure without delaying the schedule.

Location Mats for Film & TV Production

Our range of location mats includes loco mats that are well-suited to protect the location and ground you are filming on. Location mats are commonly used to protect lawns, driveways, listed buildings, and delicate flooring inside properties.

Their design allows them to be assembled quickly to create walkways and equipment zones. This helps maintain the condition of the location and reduces the risk of accidental damage.

We also stock carpet film and flexible protection options to help you assemble your ground protection setup to provide sufficient coverage for the location. This is particularly useful when filming inside residential properties, commercial buildings, or heritage venues where floor protection is essential.

Lightweight & temporary options

Our Correx floor protection sheets are water-resistant and available in different thicknesses to suit varying levels of foot traffic and equipment weight. These sheets are ideal for interior filming, protecting hard floors, carpets, and delicate finishes from scratches, dirt, and spills.

Lightweight options are easy to transport, quick to lay, and simple to remove at wrap. They are particularly effective for short shoots and tight access locations.

What is a ground protection mat?
A ground protection mat is a durable panel designed to protect surfaces from damage caused by foot traffic, vehicles, and heavy equipment. On film and TV sets, these mats help prevent rutting, scratching, and surface wear while providing a stable base for crew and machinery. They come in different sizes and thickness, to allow you to choose what best suits your needs, outdoor or indoors surface protection.
Using ground protection mats from the outset of shoots helps in avoiding costly repairs and supports compliance with location agreements. Ground protection mats are advised where filming involves vehicle movement (particularly heavy vehicles), heavy equipment placement, or high foot traffic on sensitive surfaces.
Our heavy-duty trackway boards are specifically designed for outdoor conditions and can withstand wet, muddy, and uneven terrain. They are suitable for supporting lorries, buses, and production vehicles, making them ideal for location shoots and temporary unit bases.
