Additional Uses for Blast Mats
When you think of blast mats, you may picture construction sites and controlled detonations. TM International, LLC's woven wire rope mats are widely used for blast protection, but their core design makes them useful for other surface maintenance tasks.
The same heavy-duty construction that prevents flying debris during explosions can also support grading unpaved roads and grooming agricultural fields.
Grade Gravel Roads With a Drag Mat
Unpaved roads and gravel driveways develop ruts, potholes and washboarding that can damage vehicles. Traditional grading equipment can be costly or challenging to operate. If you're searching for a tractor-towed gravel road grader or a woven-tire mat for driveway grading, blast mats offer a practical solution.
The weight of TM International's woven steel mats allows them to drag smoothly across gravel and dirt, redistributing material to fill low spots and level high areas. These mats are designed to stay firmly on the ground and provide the force necessary to move loose stone. Attach one to a tractor or heavy vehicle, drag it over problem areas and it can help create a smoother, more even surface.
Unlike a heavy-duty rubber tire drag mat, wire-rope construction offers an ideal balance of durability and flexibility.
Dethatch and Groom Pastures
Thatch buildup in pastures creates a dense layer of dead grass and organic debris that suffocates healthy growth. Some recycled rubber pasture dethatchers lack the aggressive action needed to break through compacted material. For those seeking an industrial drag mat for pasture grooming, woven steel may be a practical option.
Each mat's steel cables pull up dead grass, break dried manure clumps and aerate soil with a reduced chance of field tearing. Drag one behind a tractor, and the weight handles the work. It penetrates thatch, brings dead material to the surface and helps water reach the soil.
Dependable Performance of TM International Blast Mats
Our patented woven wire rope construction was engineered to withstand explosions. This durability helps the mats withstand the stress of dragging across gravel or grass. Blasting mats for road leveling are built for long-term use, potentially reducing the need for frequent equipment replacement.
Lightweight mats skim over surfaces, while our mats apply pressure and are capable of supporting blast suppression, road leveling and pasture grooming efforts. The versatility of blast mats may help buyers reduce the need for multiple pieces of equipment.
