A mine buys ground protection differently. More of it, to a specification, on a date, and it has to arrive without a shipping container's worth of lead time.

Polysource moulds PolyTrac mats, outrigger pads and PolyGrid panels in Australia, which means a bulk order is a production run rather than an import. Standard sizes are held in stock. Custom sizes for a particular haul road width, a particular crane or a particular camp layout are moulded to order, and we tell you the lead time before you commit.

PolyTrac carries heavy loads up to 200 tonne and is rated for exploration, drilling, mining and construction traffic. It is 100 per cent recycled polyethylene, UV stable, and it goes back on the truck at the end of the job for the next one.

Working out a road: each 2300 × 1100 mat covers 2.5 square metres. Multiply the length by the width your vehicles need, divide by 2.5, round up, and allow two joiners per mat. Send us the numbers and the vehicles and we will check the thickness and the count before you order.

What a site takes.

Access and haul roads

PolyTrac mats locked into a continuous road across the wet section, the soft approach or the section that keeps failing. Lifted and relaid as the front moves.

Lifting

Outrigger pads for the site cranes, EWPs and pumps, in the sizes the fleet actually runs, so every set-up uses the same rated pad instead of whatever timber is nearest.

Camp and plant walkways

PolyGrid panels between dongas, around wash bays and plant, and wherever people walk through mud. Clip together, drain, never rust.

Custom sizes

A wider mat for a haul road, a longer pad for a particular outrigger, a panel cut to the camp plan. Describe the dimensions and the load and we mould it.

Ordering in volume.

Four steps. The first one is the only one that needs you.

  1. Tell us the site

    Ground conditions, the vehicles and plant that will cross, the area or road length, and the date.

  2. We recommend

    Product, size and thickness for the loads and the ground, and the number of joiners and pads to go with it.

  3. You get a quote

    Per unit and per load, with freight to site and a lead time for anything not in stock.

  4. It ships

    From New South Wales to anywhere in Australia. No import, no port, no container clearing.

Made in Australia.
Shipped from Australia.

We mould here, so your date sets the schedule. It also means the specification is ours to change when the site needs something the standard range does not cover, and the person you ring about it is the person who makes it.

Questions from procurement.

What is the lead time on a bulk order?

Standard sizes are held in stock at Wollongbar and ship from there. A custom size or a very large run is a moulding schedule. Either way, tell us the date you need it on site and we will say yes or no on the first call, not after the quote.

How is freight handled?

Quoted to site with the order. Mats and pads palletise and travel by road anywhere in the country.

Can you supply a load rating certificate?

Yes. Every order can come with a written product specification on our letterhead stating the material, the dimensions and the load capability of each item, for your site documentation. If your HSE process needs a document beyond that, tell us exactly what it is and we will either get it or tell you plainly that we cannot.

Do the mats come in a high visibility colour?

PolyTrac is standard in black, black check and green. Ask about other colours for a volume run.

Can we set up a supply arrangement rather than order by order?

Yes. Ring us and we will work out stock holding and call-off terms for the site.

Tell us the site, the loads, the metres and the date.

Ground conditions, the vehicles and plant, the road length or area, and the day it has to be on site. We will come back with product, thickness, count and whether we can hit the date.
