Made from recycled certified extruded Aluminium, ALIMATS® is a patented lightweight interlocking system, which allows the outrigger load to spread more evenly between the modules – significantly reducing the loadings and greatly improving structural performance.

Mat sizes range from 0.33m² to 8.07m² and are suitable for Cranes and Powered Access (MEWPs, Scissors and Spider Cranes), Concrete Pumps and Scaffolding.
Mat modules weigh between 13kg – 48kg, so they’re easy to offload and manoeuvre into position by two people. This saves time and money as there’s no need for heavy plant.
Our 6.05m² / 7.06m² and 8.07m² mat configurations, which utilises a long new interlocking module (2.175m) and extra-long interlocking module (3.480m) has enabled us to offer a much wider range of mat sizes – without losing the core benefits of this unique system. This is the longest metallic handleable outrigger mat module on the market.
