About This Mat

Description

Keep your facility safer and cleaner with the Waterhog Eco Forklift Mat BlackSmoke 180x490cm – the professional-grade solution to stopping dirt, moisture, and potential hazards at the source.

Designed specifically for environments where forklifts frequently move between outdoor and indoor zones, this oversized mat is built to capture grime directly from forklift wheels. Featuring Waterhog’s signature bi-level surface, the mat scrapes debris off the wheels and traps it beneath the surface—drastically reducing tracking through your facility.

The result? A cleaner, drier floor, less need for constant maintenance, and a safer working environment with reduced slip risks.

Constructed with reinforced rubber nubs and a crush-proof PET fabric top, this mat is engineered to withstand forklifts weighing up to 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg)—making it one of the most heavy-duty forklift matting solutions on the market. Despite its strength, installation is quick and easy, and the mat can be fixed in place using our adhesive taping system (sold separately).

What’s more, this mat doesn’t just work hard—it’s eco-conscious too. The surface fabric is made from at least 90% recycled plastic bottles, while the rubber backing contains 20% recycled materials from used car tyres. With sustainability and performance in mind, this mat is perfect for modern industrial facilities striving to meet high standards of cleanliness and environmental responsibility.
