See how Vis-Trak stopped delays & increased safety on this new-build site.
Location: Cambridge
Timeline: Hire for 6 months (during the 2025 Autumn time)
Product(s): 300+ Vis-Trak Heavy Duty Access Mats
Team: MultiMatts
A valued client contacted us for support during a large-scale project in Cambridge that involved the construction of numerous new homes. The site was highly active, with a continuous flow of visitors and workers.
They faced significant challenges with slippery, wet ground conditions, requiring a solution that would increase pedestrian and worker safety and visibility. Additionally, the project needed access for heavy plant and machinery to ensure reliable traction in poor weather conditions.
We supplied high-visibility yellow V-Trak Heavy Duty Access mats, chosen for their grip performance in wet weather and 50-tonne load capacity. The client benefited from reliable site access, fewer incidents, and uninterrupted workflow throughout the six-month hire period, supporting both safety and the overall success of the project.
Objectives
- High Visibility
- Heavy Duty Access
- Pedestrian Safety
Installation
The Vis-Trak matting was installed by our dedicated team using a Drag Hook to position the matting, 4-Way Connectors to connect them, with power tools to secure the bolts.
Benefits
- Handles heavy loads of up to 50 tonnes
- Protects soft/sensitive surfaces
- Low-profile surface for pedestrians
- High visibility in low light
Comments
For a project of this scale, safety and reliability were my top priorities. Not only did Vis-Trak give us confidence in challenging weather conditions, but it also supported our plant and machinery excellently.

Conclusion
By choosing to hire the Vis-Trak rather than purchase it outright, the client was able to spread the cost of the matting across the project’s duration. This makes it an ideal solution for projects with budget constraints.
