Wheel Cleaning Mats reduce the need for expensive hire of wheel washes on construction sites & massively reduce the cost of road sweeping and cleaning. This innovative product is a must have for conscientious construction site & project managers. Ensure that your construction site mud & debris doesn’t pollute the local environment. Look after the welfare of the local community and stay compliant with Wheel & Tyre Cleaning Mats.
The HERMEQ wheel cleaning mat is an innovative, robust solution for construction sites needing effective control over mud and debris. If you need data, manuals or advice just let us know. We work closely with the manufacturer & are always happy to jump on a call with all parties to make sure you are getting the best advice & products that your site deserve.
These wheel & tyre cleaning mats last well over 10 years each, making them an obvious investment when compared to paying hire charges for equivalent solutions, such as truck wheel washes. Vehicle wheel washes are expensive to hire, set up & often come with significant damage charges at the end of the hire due the nature of being run over by trucks all day. Our wheel clean mats love being run over! They’re robust & built for the harsh environments. They can also be placed directly at the site entrance so there is no need for an extensive wheel wash station on-site which needs constructing and takes up a large amount of space.
We’re so confident in our truck wheel cleaning mats that we offer a 3-year warranty & have mats still out in the field that have had a longer career span then most of us.
- Fast and simple installation – Ready for use in under 30 minutes with minimal tools or labour.
- Highly durable – Long lifespan, withstands heavy use and repeated crossings without damage.
- Modular layout – Multiple configurations available for single or double lane site entrances.
- Reduces clean-up – Traps mud and debris, keeping roadways and local areas clear.
- Complies with site requirements – Supports cleaner operations, better compliance and less track-out.
The budget alternative of manufacturing a rock entrance to reduce the amount of mud & debris carried out of site on truck wheels is ineffective in comparison to our tyre cleaning mats and expensive to construct and re-work/re-place every 2-3 months. The high labour cost, headache of re-ordering material & equipment requirement makes traditional rock entrances a short sighted and poor equivalent to the high visibility, extremely effective wheel cleaning mats. These mats allow you to create an environmentally friendly site entrance within 30 minutes, with two labourers & a few hand tools (drag hooks).
How our wheel cleaning mats work:
- Washboard effect – the tapered pyramid across our wheel cleaning mats act together to create a washboard effect as trucks & vehicles drive over the mats on their way in and out of the construction site. This washboard effect shakes the vehicle and dislodge the additional mud, dirt & debris from the tyres and undercarriage of the vehicle.
- Pyramid Mat Design – the pyramid mat pattern across the mat flexes the truck & vehicle tyres meaning that mud & debris falls out of the tire tread.
- Layouts – any which way you need to get mud & debris off the tyres, our wheel cleaning mat has got you covered. This modular system can be laid down in any configuration you need, the most common being a single lane of wheel cleaning mats, a “T” shape to provide a wide turn radius for trucks entering / exiting site & a double wide entrance lay down for when wider vehicles need their tyres & undercarriage cleaning too.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Ground Mats, Bog Mats, Trench Covers & Road Plates conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Ensuring clean site exits is a fundamental requirement for all responsible contractors and site managers, and the wheel cleaning mat meets these demands with exceptional reliability. Its robust design not only withstands the constant impact of heavy vehicles but also provides an effective ground protection mat solution that actively reduces the spread of mud and debris onto public highways. Construction professionals appreciate that this tyre cleaning mat can be installed quickly at site entrances, with no need for complex machinery or specialist labour. The mat’s modular system allows for bespoke configurations, adapting seamlessly to the specific traffic needs and entry points of each site.
Many traditional approaches, such as aggregate or rock entrances, fall short due to the need for frequent replacement and the hidden costs of ongoing maintenance. In contrast, the wheel cleaning mat delivers a longer-lasting solution, requiring minimal upkeep. It also supports sustainability objectives, as the material captures debris in its base, preventing sediment from reaching local watercourses and surrounding environments. As a ground protection mat, it not only preserves site cleanliness but helps contractors meet environmental and legal obligations.
- Environmentally conscious – Prevents site run-off, supporting compliance with UK standards.
- Cost-efficient – No ongoing hire fees; reduces expensive road sweeping and clean-up costs.
- Adaptable for all sites – Flexible design to fit both narrow and wide site entrances.
- Safe for tyres – Pyramid pattern cleans without damaging rubber, extending vehicle life.
- Long lifespan – Built to perform over years, outlasting conventional tyre cleaning mats and alternatives.
Construction site safety and environmental standards continue to evolve, with an increasing focus on reducing pollution and protecting local infrastructure. The wheel cleaning mat allows site managers to address these requirements proactively. By trapping mud and debris, it maintains site presentation, safeguards the local community, and reduces potential project delays linked to environmental breaches.
Its effectiveness is enhanced further by easy maintenance—debris can be removed from the mat’s base using basic hand tools, ensuring continued performance. The mat’s surface is specifically engineered for stability, providing a non-slip solution even in adverse weather conditions. This reduces on-site accidents and keeps traffic moving safely and efficiently. Designed to last over a decade in the harshest UK site conditions, this wheel cleaning mat ensures a strong return on investment for contractors seeking the best in ground protection and tyre cleaning mats.

Yes, installation takes under 30 minutes with simple hand tools and two labourers. Maintenance is straightforward, as collected debris can be easily cleared from the mat’s base to maintain optimal performance.
How long do tyre cleaning mats last in high-traffic construction environments?
With a heavy-duty build and robust materials, the wheel cleaning mat is designed to last over ten years on active sites, delivering long-term value and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Can the mat be adapted for different site entrances?
Absolutely. The modular system allows for various layouts, including single or double lanes, making it suitable for a wide range of construction projects and traffic needs.
