Bakkie & Taxi Mat Pimple Roll 3.5mm

Engineered for the high-volume demands of the South African transport and light-commercial sectors, our 3.5mm Pimple Profile Rubber Mats offer a versatile and durable flooring solution. This specific thickness provides an ideal balance between weight, flexibility, and surface protection, making it the industry standard for passenger taxi flooring, light delivery vehicles, and workshop walkways.

The precision-moulded "pimple" (studded) surface ensures multi-directional grip, enhancing safety for passengers and providing stability for light cargo during transit.

Technical Specifications

• Thickness: 3.5mm

• Surface Profile: High-Traction Raised Pimple (Studded)

Performance & Utility Features

• High-Traction Safety: The raised stud profile creates a high-friction surface that remains effective even when wet, making it the preferred choice for passenger taxi aisles and public transport flooring.

• Lightweight & Flexible: At 3.5mm, these mats are easy to handle and install, conforming seamlessly to the contours and wheel arches of Bakkies, vans, and transit vehicles.

• Surface Preservation: Acts as a durable barrier against scratches, scuffs, and light impacts, protecting the vehicle’s original steel or painted flooring from daily wear and tear.

• Chemical & Moisture Resistant: 100% waterproof and resistant to common automotive fluids, including detergents and oils, ensuring the mat remains resilient under constant use.

• Low-Profile Maintenance: The 3.5mm profile is easy to sweep, vacuum, or pressure-wash, allowing for rapid turnaround times in high-traffic commercial environments.

Professional Installer’s Note

The 3.5mm Pimple Mat is specifically designed for applications where weight and ease of cleaning are priorities. It is the ideal specification for:

• Passenger Taxis & Minibuses: Provides a safe, anti-slip floor for commuters.

• Light Delivery Vans (LDVs): Protects the load bed from shifting parcels and light equipment.

• General Industrial Use: Used for lining workbenches or creating anti-slip paths in low-impact areas.

Pro Tip: For a professional finish in passenger vehicles, we recommend using a high-strength contact adhesive to bond the mat directly to the subfloor. This prevents the mat from shifting or "bunching" under heavy foot traffic, eliminating potential trip hazards and ensuring a clean, flush appearance.
