Plastic Ground Protection Mats & Driving Mats
TRAIL-MATE path panels are mobile plastic ground protection and driving panels – for festivals, open-air events, and other events where grass quickly turns to mud. Suitable for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t, laid in minutes and just as quickly packed away: this keeps access routes, emergency routes, and accessible paths safe to use even in the rain.
For Festivals and Open-Air Events
Note: The cover image is an AI-generated symbolic image and does not show a real festival or a real person.
Rain, thousands of visitors, heavy equipment – on festival grounds, grass can turn to mud in just a few hours. This makes the area almost impassable for people in wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or strollers. TRAIL-MATE creates firm, continuous paths directly over grass and mud – without excavators or foundations.
- Accessible paths to the stage, wheelchair platform, sanitary facilities, and campsite
- Emergency and supply routes – suitable for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t, including emergency vehicles
- Grass protection for municipalities and landowners – less damage after the event
- Quick setup and removal – can be carried by one person and reused for many seasons
We are currently in talks with major open-air festivals in northern Germany that want to use TRAIL-MATE for accessible paths and ground protection. Are you planning a festival or major event? Contact us – we will advise you on quantities, route planning, and volume discounts.
What are TRAIL-MATE ground protection panels used for?
- Grass protection at events: paths for visitors, wheelchairs, and delivery vans over festival fields and sports grounds – the grass stays protected.
- Driving panels for gardens and construction sites: temporary access over grass and soft ground, e.g. for wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, or garden equipment.
- Beaches and dunes: mobile, accessible beach access for municipalities, beach clubs, and campsites.
- Camping and tent camps: firm ground in front of tents, motorhomes, and portable toilets.

Ground protection panels, grass grids, or road panels – which is right for you?
Grass grids are permanently installed in the ground and stay there. Heavy road panels require machinery to lay. TRAIL-MATE is the mobile solution in between: can be carried by one person, laid without tools, and packed away after use – ideal when a path is only needed temporarily or seasonally.
