MOBI MAT

Mobi-Mat®is an extremely tough, ultra-light, non-slip ground matting developed by Deschamps of France that gives temporary and safe access to users across unstable, natural surfaces (covered with sand, mud or snow). Mobi-Mat® ground cover has applications in a huge range of areas. It can be used by: holidaymakers on the beach; yachting enthusiasts and lifeguards as a boat-ramp; walkers as pathways to help protect sensitive environments; work crews as a temporary roadway; helicopter crews as a helipad etc. Deschamps specialises in the manufacture of technical textiles and is present in many countries, including the USA, where the company has a subsidiary.

Mobi-Mat® can be left in place permanently on unstable grounds such as sand, grass, snow, gravel and dirt. Or it can be moved for special events, as needed. Its permeable structure allows vegetation to grow through it, so it won’t damage sensitive surfaces such as sand dunes, hill paths or sports turf. And because it is so easily removed, Mobi-Mat®complies with environmental regulations, meaning Mobi-Mat®can go where other surfacing materials cannot. Just three of the many types of Mobi-Mat® are detailed below.

 

 

Mobi-Mat® RecPath- Some of the great advantages of the innovative matting patented by Deschamps are its very lightweight woven structure, its inert, extremely tough surface and the fact that it can be installed rapidly by two people without any special equipment over sand, grass, snow, gravel, dirt etc.  Consisting of a non-slip, tri-dimensional polyester structure, Mobi-Mat® RecPath provides safety and comfort to all users, whether pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair-users, children in pushchairs, etc. With no risks of cuts or perforation, it is a safe surface for pedestrians to stroll on barefoot. Mobi-Mat® RecPath  has great mechanical strength and can be laid out on any type of flat or sloping ground with minimum preparation. It follows ground irregularities perfectly and requires no changes to the surrounding site. It can be dismantled at the end of the season and stored away without any particular requirements. Available in blue and white stripes only, the patented matting is supplied in ready-to-use kits consisting of rolls that are 25m (82’) long or more. The three standard widths are 1.4m (4’6"), 2.1m (6’9") and 2.8m (9’2").

 

The Mobi-Chair was designed with everyone in mind. Wheelchair users, people with special needs, or even children can benefit from the convenience, portability and comfort of the Mobi-Chair.

Mobi-Chair is the ultimate partner for leisure time and entertainment. The aluminum frame and stainless steel parts are corrosion free from salt water and the floatational wheels and armrests provide an unprecedented experience due to their stable buoyant design.

The Mobi-Chair is suitable for use at the beach or even in swimming pools. 

 

 

Mobi-Mat® Vehicle Mobility Mat (VMM) - It is used by yacht clubs, sailing schools and lifeguard stations. Its tri-dimensional surface is rigid enough to allow boats to be towed in and out of the water by motor vehicles, without sinking into the sand. It can also be used to create access to light vehicles and small trucks.

Easy to install on any type of ground with a minimum of preparation, it is light, durable and available in ready-to-use kits in the following sizes: 2.1m in width x 15m in length (9’2" x 49’); 2.1m x 25m (9’2’’ x 82’); and 4.2m x 25m (13’9" x 82’). This product is available in white or ’NATO’ green.

 

 

 

Mobi-Mat® Helipad- It is made of red MOBI-MAT A2X, and can be installed over sandy, muddy or snowy surfaces to form a temporary helicopter landing area enabling the rapid access of emergency services. Its use prevents the projection of stones and other particles, which avoids the resulting blade corrosion that may affect the aircraft. The patented matting can be removed at the end of the season and re-used for many years. The surface area of the helipad required depends on the type of helicopter being used.

 


Mobi Fence is a multi-layer polyester barrier dedicated to beach replenishment and the preservation of pathways, recreation areas, and parking lots from wind blown sand.
