In scraper barns, whether chain or cable systems, our mats are designed to work seamlessly with the scraper blades’ movement. Our mats feature grooves/textures—deep or shallow depending on the type—that guide manure toward the center path and help reduce buildup. Most importantly, our mats resist curling and stay firmly in place despite the daily friction from scrapers. However, it’s crucial that the groove orientation and depth are matched to the scraper blade’s travel path to prevent issues like manure bridging or drag back. Because of this, we always recommend reaching out to our trusted advisors before installation so they can assess your farm’s specific needs.

Flush barns, which are common in warmer regions such as California, Arizona, and parts of Texas, require mats with surfaces that allow liquid to flow freely without creating resistance. Deep grooves or raised traction bars can slow down flush water, leading to standing manure or urine. For these systems, we typically recommend Grooved Rolled rubber.
Barns that use skid steers for manual scraping benefit from mats with higher abrasion resistance. When scraping with loaders and blades, mats must be durable and maintain traction even as bedding, manure, and urine gradually wear down the surface. Vacuum systems, common in some tunnel-ventilated or robotic barns, also perform well with smoother mats that ensure tight surface contact.
