Ground Protection Mats AlturnaMATS & VersaMATS
AlturnaMATS
These rugged mats are made of 1/2″ thick polyethylene, making them virtually indestructible! AlturnaMATS feature maximum-traction diamond plate tread design and are able to withstand extreme cold and heat. The 1/2″ thick mats are flexible enough to contour to the existing surface conditions, yet strong enough to support 120+ ton vehicles.
Available in black or white, with or without the maximum traction diamond plate design on both sides. Mats connect together to provide roadways or working platforms in minutes.
Clean-up is as simple as hosing them down and letting the Mats dry.
Ideal for work on:
Golf Courses
Cemeteries
Drilling
Septic Pumping
Events
Traveling on lawns

VersaMATS
Easy to walk on – Safe to Work on – Great to Drive on
Built out of the same 1/2″ thick polyethylene, that makes the AlturnaMATS virtually indestructible, the VersaMATS are literally the most versatile ground protection mats in the industry. The flat, slip-resistant trad permits pedestrians to walk safely on the mats, yet they are as rugged as the AlturnaMATS. The reverse side has teh same diamond plate tread as the AlturnaMATS, providing great traction for vehicles.
Available in black or white, the VersaMATS are safe use as long, temporary walkways.

Pipe Plugs and Testing Equipment Plug-IT Products Pipe Plugs and Testing Equipment
Pipe Plugs and Testing Equipment
Inflatable plugs are used for plugging pipelines such as sewer lines to permit pipe maintenance, facilitate toxic waste containment, or remove blockages. Such inflatable plugs include inflatable rubber pillows or cylinders which are inserted into the pipeline and inflated with air so that they will fill the pipeline and function as a plug.
Ideal for use with municipalities, maintenance contractors, underground contractors, and rental companies, Pro-Tec Equipment stocks a wide range of Pipe Plug Equipment.
From Multi-Size pipe plugs ranging from 4″ to 48″ in stock ready to ship out to your job site.
Deflection Gauges\Mandrels
Pipe deflection gauges, also called mandrels,are used to test sewer pipe for out-of-roundness or deflection. The use of these gauges helps ensure that flexible pipe has been properly bedded and backfilled. Pro-Tec Equipment stocks these mandrels in single and multi-size for SDR 35 or SDR 26 pipe thicknesses.
Vacuum and Air Testing Equipment
Vacuum testing identifies infiltration and ex-filtration problems by creating a vacuum in the manhole and then monitoring for vacuum loss. This process is less expensive and much faster than water testing. Bladder style testers seal the inside diameter of the manhole cone. The flat plate style tester is designed to seal the manhole cone top surface. The vacuum generator style converts a standard air compressor into a vacuum source.
Large Diameter Joint Testing
Multi- and single size high pressure joint testersare used for fast, safe tests, which typically determines joint integrity. joint testers are designed to test large-diameter. The joint tester allows users to pre-test before the backfilling operation begins.
Steel Road Plates
Steel Road Plates
Designed with ease of use in mind, Pro-Tec Equipment’s Steel Road Plates include flush mounted pick points to allow for easy, balanced handling with no protrusion above the Steel Road Plates surface. Ideal for contractors, municipalities and utility companies, for use in street crossing, trench covering, temporary access over unstable terrain and avoiding unnecessary back filling.

Trench widths are based on an analysis per the 14th edition of the “standard specification for highway bridges” by A.A.S.H.T.O. An assumed axle loading of 12 tons with a 30% impact factor was used. The axle length is 6 feet; therefore the number of wheels carried by a plate depends on the roadway width.
Plates shall be secured from lateral movement while in use by means of materials such as asphalt-base cold mix.
