It Started with a Problem on Site
Ground damage began as a simple problem on site. Heavy machines were chewing up the ground, while stone roads were slow to build, messy to remove and costly to reinstate.
GroundGuards was created to solve that problem. Rather than selling many different products, we chose to specialise in one thing - high performance composite mats that can be moved by hand, installed fast and used again and again.
From day one we worked with contractors and rental fleets. The evolution of our products has been driven by user and customer feedback, and shapes every mat surface, fixing detail and handling feature we put into the field. As hire fleets and distributors began asking for the same solutions, we focused on mats that could work as durable rental assets as well as project-based supply.
"We chose to specialise in one thing: composite ground protection."
One Product Line. Twenty Years of Focus.
Our focus has been the same for over 20 years: build one specialist product line that rental fleets, distributors and contractors can rely on across multiple projects and markets.
- Repeatable, manufacturer grade quality
- Stable specifications from batch to batch
- Mats proven in demanding rental fleets, not just brochures
- Clear, conservative load guidance backed by independent test data
We help you match mats to machines with confidence. Weight loading is not always straightforward, so read our weight loading guide before you choose.
Global Shipping Made Simple
From first quote to final delivery, we make it straightforward for rental fleets, distributors and contractors to move mats to your sites and depots worldwide.
Flexible incoterms
Flexible incoterms
Choose incoterms that fit your project, including EXW, FCA, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP where feasible. We work with you and your forwarder to choose the option that makes deliveries as smooth as possible.
Export paperwork handled
Export paperwork handled
We take care of the export paperwork, including invoices, packing lists, HS codes and certificates of origin. That means fewer admin headaches for you and faster clearance at borders.
Pre shipment checks and live tracking
Pre shipment checks and live tracking
You can receive pre shipment photos or inspections for sign off before your mats leave the warehouse. Once goods are in transit, we provide live tracking links so you always know where your shipment is.
Built Around Rental Fleets & Distributors
Many of our closest partners run rental fleets and distribution hubs. That means the way we work - on stock, support and training - also benefits contractors who buy mats in bulk for their own projects.
Big stock you can reserve or call off as your customers book work
Same day quote support for urgent enquiries
Clear, conservative load guidance that protects your reputation
Training, installation guides and sales enablement packs for your teams
Sustainability Built In, Not Bolted On
We believe temporary access should not mean permanent damage.
Most of our mats use post industrial recycled material and are designed for long service life and repair wherever possible, not single use. This helps you:
- Reduce waste compared to disposable options or stone roads
- Cut reinstatement costs when projects finish
- Lower CO₂ and fuel use by avoiding repeated stone deliveries
- Support ESG reporting with clear data from our hire fleet experience
- We keep packaging minimal and recyclable, using pallets and strapping rather than heavy one way crates.
- For rental fleets and distributors, longer-life mats mean better utilisation and less waste across your customer base
How We Work With You
We work in two main ways: global supply for contractors buying in bulk for their own projects, and ongoing programmes for rental fleets and distributors building mat stock as an asset.
- Global project supply - plan container or pallet loads around key project dates, with clear lead times.
- Fleet and distributor programmes - build stock in phases, with reserve and call off options to match your forecast.
- One point of contact who understands your live projects and your fleet or distribution plans.
- Clear EXW/FOB/CIF terms whether you are buying for a single project or a multi-year fleet build.
- Straightforward onboarding - share your locations and priorities and we will propose a practical supply plan.
