An HDPE mat's core decides weight and load spread. Solid core = max load, heaviest. Hollow (cellular) = lighter, still high distributed load via engineered cells. Foam-filled = lightest, cushions. Load is stated two ways: PSI (ground pressure) and tonnes distributed. Advanced features include anti-static (for explosive/fuel sites), high-visibility colour, and reinforced insert zones for outriggers. Always match core + rating to your worst-case load and softest ground.
"Composite" hides a design decision. The core is the decision — it is what lets a light panel carry a crane.
Core Types
| Core | Weight | Load | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid | High | Max | Outriggers, heavy plant |
| Hollow-cell | Medium | High | Roads, trackway |
| Foam-filled | Low | Medium | Light, cushioning |
Reading Load Ratings
- PSI / ground pressure — lower PSI = less sink on soft ground. This is what matters on mud.
- Tonnes distributed — total weight spread over the mat on defined subgrade.
- Point load — for outriggers; needs solid core or a pad.
Advanced Features
| Feature | Why |
|---|---|
| Anti-static | Fuel/explosive sites (refineries, mines) |
| Hi-vis colour | Visibility, theft reduction |
| Reinforced zones | Outrigger point-load areas |
| Embedded handles | Safer manual carry |
| QR traceability | Batch/QC tracking |
Spec discipline
If a supplier quotes "load" without saying PSI or distributed tonnes and the subgrade, the number is marketing, not engineering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Solid or hollow core?
Solid for max load/outriggers; hollow-cell for lighter roads with high distributed load; foam-filled for light cushioning duty.
PSI or tonnes — which matters?
Both: PSI tells you sink risk on soft ground; tonnes tells total capacity. Insist on both plus the assumed subgrade.
What is anti-static for?
Fuel and explosive environments (refineries, mines, ammunition sites) where static discharge is a hazard.
