What is the difference between HDPE and UHMWPE mats?
+
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a cost-effective material suitable for light-to-medium duty applications up to 60 tons. UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) offers significantly higher impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and load capacity (120+ tons). UHMWPE is ideal for oil & gas, mining, and heavy crane operations, while HDPE works well for general construction, events, and landscaping.
What thickness do I need for my project?
+
Thickness depends on three factors: maximum equipment weight, underlying soil condition, and required service life. General guide: 8–12mm for pedestrian/light equipment, 12–17mm for standard construction, 20–30mm for heavy construction and oil field use, 30–40mm for mining and extreme loads. Send us your project details and we'll recommend the exact specification.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
+
For standard sizes and colors (black, yellow), MOQ is 50 pieces. For custom colors, MOQ is 500 pieces. For fully custom dimensions, MOQ is 100 pieces. We're flexible on MOQ for first-time orders — contact us to discuss your needs.
What is the typical lead time for production and delivery?
+
Standard products: 7–15 days production. Custom products: 15–25 days depending on specs and quantity. Shipping: 15–25 days to North America, 10–20 days to Europe, 7–15 days to Southeast Asia. We ship from Qingdao Port, China. Rush orders available for an additional fee.
Can I get free samples before placing an order?
+
Yes! We provide free samples (up to 3 pieces) for evaluation. You only cover shipping cost (typically $30–$80 depending on destination). For custom products, we can produce sample pieces to your specification for a small setup fee, refundable on bulk order.
What certifications do your products have?
+
Our products are certified to ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), CE (European market), UL94 (fire resistance), SGS (third-party testing), and RoHS (environmental compliance). We can provide test reports and certificates with your order.
Do you offer OEM / private label services?
+
Yes — full OEM services including custom logo embossing, silk-screen printing, custom packaging and labeling. We also offer custom dimensions, colors, and surface patterns. Share your brand guidelines and we'll match them.
How long do the mats last?
+
Service life depends on usage: HDPE mats last 5–8 years under typical outdoor conditions. UHMWPE mats last 8–12+ years under heavy-duty use. Factors affecting lifespan: UV exposure, load frequency, chemical contact, and storage conditions. Proper maintenance extends life significantly.
What payment terms do you accept?
+
We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C (letter of credit), Western Union, and PayPal for smaller orders. Standard terms: 50% deposit after order confirmation, 50% balance after inspection approval and before shipment. We can discuss alternative arrangements for repeat customers.
How do I choose between interlocking and flat mats?
+
Interlocking mats are ideal for rapid deployment — they connect instantly without tools, form a stable continuous surface, and won't separate under traffic. Flat mats work well for overlapping on simple access roads or when you need maximum flexibility in layout. We can help you choose based on your specific project needs.
