New Zealand’s first sustainable silage matting Contact Dean Malcolm 0276 414 102 dean.suregrip@gmail.com With the SureGrip Mats range of products farmers can say goodbye to hauling around dirt and water lled tyres and having piles of tyres stacked up on their farm – essential with changes to regulations regarding tyres. The company offers New Zealand's rst sustainable silage matting, and the only silage mat on the market in this country. “With the Silage Mats farmers can t 100 mats on a standard pellet (replacing 400 tyres) making it easy to stack away and out of sight and when needed farmers can just get them back out on a front end loader and easily lay them out,” says SureGrip Mats owner Dean Malcolm. “They are just so much easier to handle and cut the time and labour right down.” At just 17kg, the SureGrip Silage Mats require only one person to lift, compared to the back-breaking work of managing hundreds of individual tyres. The 1050mm by 1050mm mats are manufactured from 100 per cent recycled rubber. Dean says the mats offer superior coverage and air reduction, which leads to better fermentation and ultimately higher-quality feed for livestock. The SureGrip range also includes dairy and equestrian mats. “Our range of SureGrip Mats rubber matting is suitable for horse stables, yards, cow sheds, laneways, underpasses and more. They provide a non-slip, comfortable and long-lasting ooring solution creating a more comfortable and safe environment for animals and people. They are proven to improve animal welfare and help increase milk production and maximise pro tability,” explains Dean. SureCushion Mats are for improving equine health in stables and are the only mat on the market featuring dimples underneath, which really make this mat a true cushion mat, says Dean. “They reduce dust and associated respiratory issues also. They are really popular in dairy pits for the comfort and well-being of milkers.” SureGrip Prolite Mats are another option with a slightly different design which also improve welfare for animals by providing a safer surface, reducing slipping, spreading and falling. Dean says they are ideal for dairy yards, breezeways, wash bays, day stalls and tie up areas. SureGrip Mats serves farmers throughout New Zealand, offering competitive quotes and delivery nationwide. Based in Auckland, it can provide cost-effective door-to-door delivery services. Dean also travels regularly throughout the North Island.
