New Altec France Ground Protection Mats: secure site access and keep field costs under control
On a construction site, the ground is often the first logistical risk factor. Persistent rain, soft ground, unstable areas: just a few passes of heavy machinery can lead to rutting, vehicles getting stuck, or surface damage. The consequences are immediate—equipment immobilisation, intervention delays, contractual penalties, and restoration costs that can quickly run into several thousand euros.
In this context, ground protection mats are no longer optional accessories—they are a site essential. With its new range of ground protection mats, Altec France offers two complementary solutions designed to cover all on-site requirements, from light access to heavy traffic.
CM Ground Protection Mats: speed, manoeuvrability and versatility
CM ground protection mats provide a reliable solution for creating temporary access routes, protecting surfaces and preventing machinery from getting stuck. Highly versatile, they can be used on construction sites, temporary car parks, events, parks and provisional roads, creating stable pathways for utility vehicles, light machinery and access platforms.
Suitable for a wide range of surfaces—mud, sand, gravel, grass or snow—they feature an anti-slip surface that helps reduce the risk of rutting and surface degradation in controlled, temporary-use conditions.
Manufactured from recycled HDPE, they strike an excellent balance between light weight, strength and durability, making handling easier without the need for lifting equipment.
For increased stability on soft or sloping ground, the mats can be connected using single or double linking connectors, ensuring a safe and continuous surface for machinery access.

FM Ground Protection Mats: combining performance with eco-design
FM ground protection mats are designed for intensive traffic and repeated use, where on-site operating constraints go beyond simple surface protection.
Manufactured from 100% recycled LDPE plastic, they benefit from an optimised formulation tailored to demanding field conditions. Versatile by design, they are used in construction, agriculture, landscaping, forestry and event management to create temporary roads, secure site access and develop circulation or manoeuvring areas.

Cross-functional benefits focused on operational performance
Beyond their specific features, Altec France ground protection mats share decisive advantages for transport and construction professionals:
- High durability: polyethylene resists hydrocarbons, acids, frost and high temperatures without cracking or deforming under normal operating conditions.
- Operational cost savings: eliminates costly temporary solutions (rubble, wooden boards, temporary asphalt). The mats are easily cleaned with water and immediately reusable.
- Improved safety: enhanced vehicle grip, reduced slipping risks and fewer accidents linked to degraded ground conditions.
- Environmental commitment: recyclable polyethylene solutions incorporating recycled materials depending on the range, aligned with today’s requirements for responsible construction sites.
CM or FM: which mat for which ground?
| Criteria | FM | CM |
| Material & manufacturing | 100% recycled and recyclable LDPE | Recycled HDPE, known for rigidity and mechanical strength in standard use |
