Track Mat Hire Melbourne
Grass Protection for Vehicles & Pedestrians
*Rated up to 50 tonnes on hard, flat ground. Actual load capacity varies with ground conditions and how weight is dispersed across the board.
Track Mat Hire Melbourne supplies heavy-duty track mats for vehicles, pedestrians, plant and machinery with rubber tyres needing to cross grass, mud or other surfaces that need protecting from vehicular traffic. Alongside the trak mats, we stock a separate pedestrian flooring system built for foot traffic only, used for event applications and commercial jobs such as building sites or managing pedestrian disruption on railway networks. If something heavy needs to get from one side of a site to the other while reducing damage to what’s underneath, that’s the job these mats do.
Most suppliers of track mats prefer the customer to collect, self-install and return the mats with an appropriate vehicle. That’s fine if you’ve got the vehicle, the crew and the spare hours.
If you don’t, Track Mat Hire Melbourne offers full delivery of the mats to site, installation to your site plan (with connectors where needed), and return to remove them once you’re finished. Dry hire from our warehouse is also available if you’d rather run the logistics yourself. For small quantities a ute or trailer is usually enough for DIY collection. For larger quantities a truck is almost always required, given the weight of each board and the weight of the transport stillage (60kg).
Two Products, Two Different Jobs
Track Mats
$20.00 + GST per week
At Track Mat Hire Melbourne, our track mats, also known as bog mats or trak mats, are black 1100mm x 2440mm HDPE panels, 12.7mm board thickness and 22.7mm overall including the texture; a 5mm textured surface on both sides for tyre grip. Each mat weighs 40kg and they’re stored on forkliftable transport stillages holding up to 45 mats safely, which lets us move large quantities on and off a site quickly. They’re built for surface protection under vehicles: utes, trucks, forklifts, prime movers and tracked plant that would otherwise chew up grass or bog down in softer ground.

Intertrack Flooring
$14.00 + GST per sqm · covers 1–3 day hire
Our Intertrack pedestrian flooring system solves a different problem. It’s a heavy-duty plastic interlocking tile system rated for pedestrian foot traffic only, slip-tested to AS4586 with a P4 rating, with drainage holes and ramped safety edging so the perimeter doesn’t turn into a trip hazard. Individual tiles are grey, 300mm x 600mm and 30mm thick. Stock is held as pre-assembled sheets on pallets, 1.8m x 0.9m and made up of nine tiles pre-joined, for rapid installation on site. The drainage holes reduce water pooling on the flooring. If you need a stable pedestrian walkway across grass for guests, staff, employees or the public rather than a route for vehicles, Intertrack is the product to look at.
View Pedestrian Flooring Hire →Built for Melbourne’s Ground Conditions
Melbourne throws a lot at grass and soft ground: a wet winter, back-to-back weekend bookings on the same oval, a construction site with no hard stand poured yet, or works forcing a pedestrian detour over grassed ground that needs something stable underfoot. Track Mat Hire Melbourne mats spread a vehicle’s weight across a wide surface area instead of letting tyres sink in and rut the ground underneath, which is what actually helps protect the grass, the soil and whatever services are buried below it. The goal is to reduce damage to the existing surface, not promise none will occur.
Common Uses
Built to Work
Construction sites lean on these mats most: a crane truck needs a path to complete its delivery, a site office or material storage area needs to sit on ground that hasn’t been paved yet, or a delivery truck needs to reach the back of a block before the driveway’s poured. The mat spreads the load so the ground holds instead of bogging.
Utility and services crews use them the same way when a trench or pit sits in the middle of a nature strip or paddock and the job still needs vehicle access alongside it. Sporting clubs and venues lay them across an oval or turf wicket to keep it playable after an event has driven trucks and equipment across it. Film and TV productions do something similar: a crew vehicle route across a park or council garden.
Also Popular For
Then there’s the softer end of the market. A wedding on a lawn where the caterer’s van has to get close. A showground or agricultural event where the car park is a paddock, not asphalt. Event bump-in and bump-out crews often need track mats down temporarily for all-terrain forklift access. Different industries, same underlying problem: vehicles or plant and machinery need to sit on or move across ground that needs the risk of damage minimised.
