Staircare ProGrit Rig Mats
Anti-Slip Rig Mats for Drilling Rig Turntable Platforms
The Staircare ProGrit™ polyurethane anti-slip mat is a high-performance, non-slip mat specifically engineered for drilling rig turntables and platform walkways used in oil fields, mining, and engineering construction. Designed to outperform traditional anti-skid surfaces such as checker steel plates, wooden boards, and rubber sheets, this advanced solution offers significantly enhanced safety, durability, and operational efficiency.
Challenges with Traditional Anti-Slip Surfaces
Conventional anti-slip systems typically rely on low-profile protrusions on steel or rubber surfaces. These designs offer limited traction, especially in environments contaminated by oil or water, where drainage is inefficient and surface grip is compromised. Such conditions pose serious safety risks and operational inefficiencies.
An Advanced Polyurethane Anti-Slip System
Our anti-slip mat utilises a polyurethane rubber base plate, known for its superior wear resistance – the highest among all rubbers. Key material properties include:
- High strength and elasticity
- Excellent resistance to oil and solvents
- Superior low-temperature performance
- Long-term aging resistance
ProGrit's Innovative Anti-Skid Surface Design
The mat’s upper surface features an integrated grid of vertical and horizontal drainage grooves that effectively channel away oil and water, maintaining a clean and dry surface underfoot. Within each square segment defined by the grooves, an embedded pattern of raised stainless steel studs is arranged in a regular staggered layout to maximise friction.
- Raised and embedded stainless steel studs provide anti-slip protection
- Designed to maintain comfort for operators standing or walking on the pad
- Drainage system ensures oil and water are discharged promptly, preserving traction
Staircare-Progrit’s polyurethane anti-skid mat system offers a technologically advanced, field-proven, and cost-effective alternative to conventional skid-proofing solutions, delivering consistent performance in harsh industrial environments.
Superior anti-slip performance
even in oil- and water-contaminated environments.
Long service life
due to abrasion-resistant polyurethane used in the products surfaces.
Enhanced operator safety and comfort
providing a stable and slip free platform for staff.
Protection for rotary tables & drilling tools
by cushioning impact and reducing wear.
Modular application
rig mats can be laid around the turntable and along walkways, especially between drill pipe storage boxes.
Integrated drainage
effectively channel away oil and water, maintaining a clean and dry surface underfoot.
Rig Mats FAQ's
What are Staircare Progrit SPG Rig Mats?
Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats are high-performance polyurethane anti-skid mats engineered for drilling rig turntables, rig floors, and platform walkways. They are designed to enhance personnel safety and operational reliability in high-risk oil & gas and mining environments.
Where are Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats typically installed?
SPG™ Rig Mats are commonly installed on drilling rig turntable platforms, rig floors, catwalks, access walkways, and work zones where exposure to oil, drilling fluids, mud, water, and vibration creates elevated slip hazards.
How do Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats improve site safety compared to traditional surfaces?
SPG™ Rig Mats are designed to outperform checker plate steel, timber boards, and rubber matting by delivering consistent, high-traction slip resistance under dynamic rig conditions. Their use supports hazard control measures identified in Job Safety Analyses (JSA), Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), and Permit to Work systems.
What anti-skid surface options are available?
SPG™ Rig Mats feature a polyurethane base with protruding anti-slip studs, available in:
- Stainless steel studs for aggressive traction and maximum wear resistance in heavy-duty rig operations
- Polyurethane protruding studs for high traction with reduced surface hardness
Both options are designed to maintain grip in oil-contaminated and high-traffic work zones.
Are Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats suitable for harsh oil & gas operating conditions?
Yes. The polyurethane construction provides excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, hydrocarbons, drilling fluids, moisture, and chemicals, making SPG™ Rig Mats suitable for onshore and offshore drilling operations, mining sites, and heavy engineering environments.
How are Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats installed on rig turntables and platforms?
SPG™ Rig Mats are supplied in standard or custom sizes to suit rig layouts and are installed to ensure secure positioning under rotation, vibration, and heavy foot traffic. Installation methods are selected to integrate with rig-specific safety and operational requirements.
What maintenance is required under site safety management systems?
SPG™ Rig Mats require minimal maintenance. Routine inspection and cleaning form part of standard HSE inspection regimes, ensuring mud, oil, and debris do not compromise slip resistance. The robust design supports long service life and reduced downtime.
Do the Rig Mats have a Specifier / Safety Compliance Note?
Yes. Staircare Progrit SPG™ Rig Mats are designed to support site safety management systems by providing a high-traction, durable anti-skid surface for drilling rig turntables and platform walkways. Their use assists in mitigating slip and fall hazards identified through risk assessments, JSAs, SWMS, and toolbox talks commonly required in oil & gas and mining operations.
The polyurethane construction with protruding anti-skid studs offers reliable performance in oil-contaminated, wet, and high-vibration environments, supporting compliance with site-specific HSE requirements and operational safety procedures. Final acceptance and compliance remain the responsibility of the asset owner, drilling contractor, and site HSE authority, with installation and inspection carried out in accordance with project safety plans.
