Sanding mats for boats
Sand mats for boat ramps, slipways and boat trailers
Mobile, non-slip floor/shore protection solutions made of mats for sand, beach, shore and soft ground
Sand mats for boat ramps and boat trailers are robust, mobile ground coverings for the stable stabilization of sandy and soft surfaces. They enable the safe launching of boats , the maneuvering of boat trailers , and access to beach and shoreline areas – without a permanent concrete ramp or costly construction work.
The access mats create a stable, non-slip surface that prevents vehicles such as cars, trucks, and trailers from sinking into the riverbank while simultaneously protecting the natural ground. Quality product made in the EU.
Typical applications for mats on boats:
Boat ramps on shores, lakes, rivers and coasts
Access roads for boat trailers on sand or gravel
Slipways for inflatable boats, rigid inflatable boats, fishing boats and leisure boats, as well as for the fire brigade and disaster relief.
Temporary ramps for marinas, campsites and water sports facilities
Beach and shoreline access for service and maintenance vehicles
Mobile pathways in sensitive natural or protected areas

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!
