Recreational Aids
Our fibreglass grating can also be used for recreational purposes. GRATEMATES have introduced a very versatile way of using FRP Grating with Four Wheen Drive vehicles.
Some of the many benefits of using FRP Grating:
- By removing wheel spin, digging, or 'road building', there is less impact on the environment
- Easy to use solo recovery device
- Gritted for superior slip resistance
- Drive over and through otherwise impossible obstacles
- Made from durable, Fibreglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP)
- Designed and tested to meet Australian fwd conditions
- Supports up to 3 tonne per pair when used for bridging
- Lightweight - only 10 kg per pair. Stores easily in your 4x4
- 12 month limited warranty
Gratemates are sold boxed in pairs. Each piece measures 1220mm x 310mm x 30mm and weighs 5kg. They are made from durable all weather material and can happily remain exposed to the elements unlike other self recovery products.
There are countless ways to carry your Gratemates with you on all your adventures. The owner of this Nissan Patrol carries them simply bolted to his roof racks.
Despite lowering tyre pressures AND differential lockers front and rear, this Jeep Wrangler found itself bogged to the floor pan in the soft sand at Goolwa beach, S.A.
With no one else around to snatch it out, a pair of Gratemates was used to rescue the vehicle.
When used as sand ladders or waffle boards in sand or mud, they can handle the weight of ANY 4x4.
There was no way this heavy Nissan Patrol could have taken this track through the washout without the use of Gratemates. Hampered by an extreme approach angle coming into the hole, the driver has used three Gratemates to quickly build a bridge and effectively halve the depth of the hazzard. Quicker than back-tracking!
