Ground mats play a vital role across a range of industries and applications—from temporary site access and pedestrian walkways to construction flooring, turf protection, and event staging. While the matting itself is designed to distribute load and protect the underlying surface, what often gets overlooked is how the mats are secured in place. Without proper anchoring, even the most durable ground mats can shift, curl, or lift under pressure, creating tripping hazards, structural instability, and costly delays.
This is where GroundGrabba comes in.
Unlike basic stakes or pins that rely on friction and are easily displaced, GroundGrabba screw-in anchors are engineered to provide a mechanical bite deep into the substrate. Installed using a cordless drill or impact wrench, they twist securely into the ground—making setup fast, easy, and incredibly secure. The result? A professional anchoring system that keeps your ground mats locked in place, even under heavy loads or repeated traffic.
GroundGrabba Pro anchors are an excellent all-round choice for general-purpose installations. With aggressive flighting and a compact length, they’re ideal for securing mats in soft to medium soils like loam, turf, or sand. Whether you're laying turf protection mats for an outdoor wedding or ground mats for equipment staging, the Pro offers a convenient and highly effective hold.
When you need more depth and stronger anchoring performance—particularly in layered soils, clay, or areas prone to shifting—GroundGrabba Pro I anchors step up to the task. Their longer shaft and wider thread profile make them suitable for semi-permanent setups or high-load applications, such as heavy machinery access paths, mobile work platforms, or tiered event flooring. They're also ideal when the job demands extra peace of mind in windy or weather-exposed locations.
To enhance anchoring performance further—especially when ground mats have oversized clearance holes or thin profiles—GroundGrabba’s Hook Washer is a valuable accessory. Designed to seat neatly under the anchor’s hex collar, the Hook Washer prevents the anchor head from slipping through the hole, while spreading the load across a wider surface area. This not only boosts stability but also protects the mat’s edges from tearing or warping under tension. For applications involving composite, plastic, or recycled rubber mats, this small upgrade can make a big difference in performance and longevity.
Ground mat anchoring needs vary widely depending on your setup, surface, and environment. In construction, mats are often placed over gravel or compacted fill where movement from vehicle traffic is common. In these situations, using Pro I anchors in combination with Hook Washers ensures your mats don’t creep or buckle. In the events space, where rapid deployment is key, crews benefit from the speed of drill-powered GroundGrabba installs—no hammering, no fuss, and no wasted time trying to drive in inferior stakes.
The GroundGrabba system also shines in remote locations. When laying temporary flooring for outdoor expos, rural film shoots, emergency access points, or camp infrastructure, you need equipment that works without relying on perfect conditions. GroundGrabba anchors deliver a secure, repeatable solution that doesn’t depend on the exact soil type—because the screw-in action gives consistent results across multiple terrains.
And when it’s time to pack down? Removal is just as easy. Simply reverse your drill or impact wrench, and your GroundGrabbas will back out cleanly, ready to be reused again and again. This saves you time, reduces waste, and eliminates the frustration of bent pegs or broken tools.
Safety is another key advantage. Loose matting can create liability issues—particularly when exposed to foot traffic or used around temporary infrastructure. GroundGrabba anchors, when properly installed, reduce the risk of mats lifting or sliding, making your site safer for staff, contractors, and the public. For applications in public spaces or high-use zones, this peace of mind is invaluable.
Whether you’re managing a construction site, planning an outdoor activation, or supporting vehicle access on soft ground, GroundGrabba offers a complete anchoring system that pairs seamlessly with your ground mat setup. Pro and Pro I anchors give you flexibility based on soil conditions and load requirements, while Hook Washers ensure a clean and secure fit no matter your mat design.
In summary, ground matting is only as effective as the anchors that hold it down. With GroundGrabba, you get a rugged, drill-powered solution designed for modern deployment needs—quick to install, reliable under stress, and easy to reuse. Say goodbye to makeshift pegs and underwhelming stakes. Choose a professional ground anchoring system that performs in the real world.
