All of our flooring products are engineered to handle mechanical cleaning, including the use of alley scrapers, robotic scrapers, skid steers, and manure vacuums. On large dairies mechanized manure handling isn’t just common, it’s essential. If a mat system can’t withstand heavy equipment, it simply doesn’t belong in a modern high-output barn.

Let’s consider the real-world forces at play. A 5,000-pound skid steer fitted with a 6-foot steel blade creates considerable torque and friction where it contacts the surface. Lower-quality mats often can’t take the pressure. They tend to delaminate, curl at the seams, or crack over time, especially with repeated scraping.

That’s why our flooring, including our Grooved Rolled Rubber, is manufactured using vulcanized virgin rubber and reinforced with steel cables. This construction resists tearing, prevents curling, and maintains structural integrity even under heavy daily use. The textured surface on these mats also ensures that traction is preserved — even after repeated scraping.
