Anti-Slip Transport Mats for Mining Logistics
Key Points
- Anti-slip transport mats increase friction between cargo and the transport surface, helping to reduce load movement during transit.
- Mining logistics often involve transporting heavy equipment, consumables and materials over long distances in demanding conditions.
- REGUPOL transport mats are suitable for repeated industrial use and are available in different grades to suit varying load requirements.
- Applications include road, rail, intermodal and industrial freight associated with mining operations.
- Selecting the right transport mat depends on factors such as cargo type, contact pressure and transport conditions.
Mining operations rely on the safe movement of equipment, consumables and materials across long distances by road, rail and sea.
Effective load restraint is an important part of protecting people, cargo and equipment while helping operators meet Australian transport requirements.
REGUPOL anti-slip transport mats supplied by ABS West are designed to reduce cargo movement by increasing friction between the load and the vehicle deck. Suitable for repeated use, they provide a practical solution for mining companies, contractors and freight operators transporting a wide range of goods.
Supporting safer mining transport operations
Rather than treating transport mats as a simple accessory, they’re a critical component of many load restraint systems.
Whether transporting palletised consumables, fabricated steel, machinery, pipes, cable drums or packaged equipment, limiting cargo movement helps improve transport safety while reducing unnecessary stress on load restraint equipment.
REGUPOL transport mats are used throughout industries where heavy loads and demanding operating conditions are common.
Common mining applications
Loads are subjected to a range of directional forces during transport. In many cases, these forces are far greater than people expect.
Mine Site Deliveries
Equipment, consumables and packaged goods.
Heavy Machinery Components
Steel fabrications, replacement parts and maintenance equipment.
Pipe & Cable Transport
Reduce movement during transport.
Containerised Freight
Increase friction beneath palletised and container loads.
Rail Transport
Suitable for rail freight applications.
Port & Intermodal Logistics
Assist with cargo restraint during multiple transport stages.
Designed for demanding transport environments
Vehicles regularly travel long distances over regional and remote routes while carrying heavy, high-value cargo. Exposure to dust, moisture, changing temperatures and repeated loading cycles means every component of the load restraint system needs to perform consistently.
REGUPOL transport mats are manufactured for these demanding conditions and are suitable for repeated industrial use across a wide range of transport applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can transport mats reduce the number of lashings required?
In many applications, increasing friction between the load and the deck can reduce the restraint force required. Load restraint must always comply with applicable Australian guidelines and should be determined for each transport scenario.
Are transport mats suitable for mining equipment?
Yes. Different grades are available to suit varying load capacities and industrial transport applications.
Can they be reused?
Yes. REGUPOL transport mats are designed for repeated industrial use.
Are they suitable for demanding conditions?
Yes. They are suitable for demanding environmental conditions including moisture and varying temperatures.
Load restraint matters!
Australian transport regulations place responsibilities on parties involved in the transport of goods to help ensure loads are appropriately restrained. Increasing friction between the load and the transport surface is one recognised component of an effective load restraint system. Anti-slip transport mats should always be used as part of a correctly designed load restraint solution.
