New Products will Blow Your Mind!

Here at MattingExperts.com we realize that not all safe and dry floors can be achieved via commercial runners and mats alone.  Sometimes there are circumstances that make floors really really wet. I have personally witnessed just this sort of situation dozens of times.  Take for example winter in Chicago and my commute. I would take a train from the suburb I lived in to Union Station in downtown Chicago. So did millions and billions of other people. By the time morning and evening rush hours had ended the entire place was a sopping wet mess. Sure, they had recessed aluminum grate matting in the major vestibules and of course they had carpet-like runners in busy areas such as near escalators. Honestly, the nylon mats and runners became completely saturated. The only thing a mat like that can do once it becomes this wet is offer a small amount of traction. So what am I getting at with all of this?

We now sell heavy duty commercial air movers/blowers! The manufacturer is B-Air out of Azusa, California who has been developing and manufacturing various blower products for the last 10 years.  Although they offer blowers for gigantic inflatable bounce houses as well as pet groomer fur dryers, we are currently marketing only their janitorial/restoration blowers. We feel this line of products better suits our customers' needs but if anyone should need their other blowers we would happily take care of them as well.

The entry-level so to speak blower is called "Cub 1/4 HP" and is recommended for small or cramped area air movement and/or drying.  Say you have a leaky piece of equipment that is housed in an area that has a very small access opening. The Cub 1/4 HP model is smaller overall (approx. 10" x 10" x 8") with a small rectangular opening to accommodate tight quarters.

There is another 1/4 HP model called the "Polar". This one is different in that it has 2 speeds and a larger, 360 degree blower opening. This unit is larger and, therefore, offers a broader airflow coverage.  What is really cool about this model is that it is stackable!

Loading Dock Products Now Available

Good day to all who need, have needed, or might need in the future some really awesome floor mats.  Good news! I have been adding new products to mattingexperts.com and among them are loading dock accessories.

What I have learned is that dock bumpers are a must on any loading dock.  I always thought they were just "nice to have" but no!  And now that I think more about it, it makes total sense: if a large truck backs into your building too hard or fast it could damage the integrity of the entire structure.  These just aren't the kind of things we sit around thinking about but dang!

So let me introduce you to simple dock bumpers first. These are made by one of my favorite mat manufacturers, Durable Corporation. Durable has been making things out of recycled tires since the early 1920's; way before recycling was "cool". Customers always get quiet on the phone when I confess my love of their floor mats. You think it is because they are scared or that they feel sorry that I am that into mats? Either way...

Dura-Dock Laminated Rubber Bumpers

Here is a fine example of a recycled tire dock bumper from Durable Corp.  In size 10" x 12" they cost just $51.40 a piece, plus shipping.  These stick out 4 1/2" from the dock and are affixed with heavy duty structural steel brackets. In addition, these carry a 5 year warranty.  Nice. Very nice. You could do a lot worse.

Now let's say you have a need for weather and fumes to stay out of your interior loading dock space. Well, that is where a whole other beast comes into play. The entire opening can be made into a giant seal that also performs the bumper function. Highly customizable depending on the exact needs of the particular dock situation...I give you:
