FODS reusable trackout control mats are a lightweight rumble plate and shaker plate alternative for construction entrances and exits. Made of durable HDPE, they knock mud and debris off tires the way a steel rumble plate does, without the weight, the crane, or the road damage. Buy now, or call 949-954-6581 to ask about rental. Available across the U.S. and Canada.
What is a FODS trackout control mat?
A trackout control mat is a portable, reusable rumble plate for the exit of a construction site. As a vehicle rolls across the raised pattern, the mat agitates the tires and dislodges the mud and rock that would otherwise track onto public roads. FODS mats are a manufactured stabilized construction entrance that replaces gravel exits and steel rumble plates.
A reusable rumble plate, without the steel
Steel rumble plates work, but they are heavy, need a forklift or crane to place, damage the road and the plate over time, and are usually rented over and over. FODS mats install by hand in about 30 minutes, weigh a fraction of steel, do not damage pavement, and are reusable for years. One purchase can replace repeated rental of steel plates.
Approved as a construction entrance
FODS is accepted as a stabilized construction entrance best management practice, including the Caltrans TC-1 designation in California, and is used on sites nationwide to meet SWPPP and stormwater trackout requirements.
Common applications
- Construction site entrances and exits
- Trackout and sediment control for SWPPP compliance
- Temporary access over soft or sensitive ground
- Rumble plate and shaker plate replacement
- Wheel-wash support at busy exits
Buy or rent
FODS mats are built to buy and reuse, which usually costs less than renting steel rumble plates across multiple jobs. If you would rather rent, call 949-954-6581 and ask about rental options. M Squared Safety ships FODS across the U.S. and Canada.
