Clean approach with forklift truck mats
Specially designed entrance mats can be fitted near a warehouse entrance to scrape dirt and absorb water from the wheels of forklift trucks in the same way that regular entrance mats work.

The new Forklift Truck Mats, available from First Mats, are durable, thanks to a 100% SBR rubber backing and reinforced bi-level surface pattern.
The mats have been weight tested to 6300kg, ensuring a long life span, even in busy warehouse entrances. They also pass Flammability Standard DOC-FF-1-70 and are certified as slip-resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute.
The mats include the same features that make a regular entrance mat so effective: An absorbent material on the surface soaks up water before it enters the building. This is combined with a raised pattern of nubs which help scrape dirt and stones off wheels and contain them within the mat area.
The mats can be fitted direct to the floor with adhesive tape, so there is no need to close the entrance for a long period of time to fit a recessed mat system. Each mat tile can be fitted in about 10 minutes.
Mats are available in a modular tiled system, making them suitable for entrances of all shapes and sizes. If a tile is damaged, it can be replaced individually, reducing potential maintenance costs.
Free samples are available so warehouse managers can see and feel the material before they buy: https://www.firstmats.co.uk/products/safety-message-floor-mats%C2%A0 Product Page: https://www.firstmats.co.uk/products/safety-message-floor-mats
