Ramped edging — FAQs
Do I need ramped edging for all matting?
Edging is recommended where the mat meets open floor to reduce trip hazards and support traffic transitions.
Can ramped edges be replaced if damaged?
Yes. Modular systems allow edge pieces to be replaced without lifting the full matting area.
Is ramped edging suitable for forklifts?
Some edging profiles are rated for MHE traffic. Confirm load requirements with your supplier.
