Ground Protection
Ground Protection is an essential aspect for the construction, civil engineering and ground work industries for minimizing environmental damage and providing safe working road ways. East Cork Crane Hire have two types of ground protection solutions available, Ground Mats and EKKI Mats. Both are ruggedly designed for fast and effective use. A wide range of connection options are available for long term deployment and demanding applications such as steep or sloping terrain or very heavy or tracked plant.

- 2.4 metres long X 1.2 metres wide and 14mm thick
- Fast temporary access, working areas and trackways
- Low transport and handling costs
- No ground preparation required
- Strong yet flexible to follow contours of the underlying surface
- Range of connection options for different terrain and equipment

Our mats are light enough for two men to handle, prevent vehicles getting bogged down and significantly reduce damage to ground, including heritage and eco-sensitive areas, avoiding the need for reinstatement. The unique ‘mud dispersing’ chevron grip-surface is seen as the most effective in the market and is ideal when the weather or ground conditions deteriorate.
EKKI Mats – Heavy Duty Ground Protection
Our Hardwood Ground Mats, called EKKI Mats, can be used in situations where ground conditions are poor to provide additional support and decrease surface pressure of heavy loads. These mats can be used to form temporary road surfaces for heavy vehicles for access over poor boggy ground conditions, challenging terrain , or to protect hard standing surfaces and underground services. Manufactured from hardwood and tropical timbers our Hardwood Ground Mats are both strong and durable, and can cope with the most demanding jobs.
