Sand Mats for Boats

Mats as mobile boat ramps and slipways for boat trailers, trucks, motorboats, sailboats, kayaks and jet skis – mobile, non-slip flooring solutions for sand, beaches & softer surfaces

Advantages of sand mats for boat ramps and boat slips

• Slip-resistant surface
  High traction for tires, training wheels and pedestrians – ideal on wet sand, gravel or mud.

• Stable load distribution
  Even pressure distribution reduces the sinking of boat trailers and towing vehicles.

• Fast installation & dismantling
  Can be rolled out without special tools, modularly expandable and flexibly adaptable. Two people need approximately 10 minutes.

• Mobile & reusable
  Perfect for seasonal use, temporary slipways or changing locations.

• As shoreline protection to preserve beach and shoreline areas
  Minimizes soil compaction and protects sensitive natural areas. Environmentally friendly use as shoreline protection on lakes, beaches/shores – no lasting damage to grass, soil or gravel areas.

• Barrier-free access
  Safe access with strollers, trolleys or wheelchairs is possible.

Variants of mats for mobile boat ramps

The mats for mobile boat ramps are available in different surface configurations , which are optimized according to the area of application and load requirements:

1) Single-sided profiled version Light Duty
This version features a profiled underside that provides secure grip on sand and soft ground. The top surface is smooth and barefoot-friendly , making it ideal for beaches, swimming areas, and recreational use. It combines a secure footing with high walking comfort. Load capacity: up to 3.5 t (depending on ground conditions/surface, incline, and vehicle type!)

2) Double-sided profiled version Heavy Duty
This design features a profile on both sides , ensuring maximum grip and high traction for vehicle tires , especially on slopes and inclined boat slips or ramps . It is designed for heavier loads and is ideal for use with boat trailers, towing vehicles, and heavier boats . Load capacity: up to 40 tons (depending on ground conditions/subsoil, incline, and vehicle type!).

Available widths: 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m and 3 m, and 4.2 m only as Heavy Duty.
Available lengths: 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m and 30 m (Exceptions: Heavy Duty with a width of 3 m, max. 25 m length and with a width of 4.20 m, max. 15 m length)

Examples of weight and diameter:

1) A 3 m x 10 m light duty sand mat weighs 42 kg with a roll diameter of 35 cm and a heavy duty mat weighs 52 kg with a roll diameter of 50 cm.

2) A 3 m x 25 m Light Duty sand mat weighs 100 kg with a diameter of 56 cm and a 4.2 m x 15 m Heavy Duty beach mat weighs 107 kg with a diameter of 65 cm.

Available colors:

1) Jay blue – for maximum visibility , ideal in high-traffic areas and at boat ramps
2) Sand brown – for a subtle, natural integration into the surroundings

Possible anchoring methods for the access mats (available as an option):

• Underwater anchoring for soft ground

• Underwater anchoring for hard surfaces

• concrete anchoring

• Anchoring to wooden walkways / wooden pontoons

• Anchoring on a solid surface (e.g. asphalt, paving stones, concrete)

* Load capacity depends on the surface, incline and vehicle type!
