Hog Heaven Linkable Mats

Description

Why Hog Heaven Linkable Mats?

Standard anti-fatigue mats work for single workstations. But what about a 30-foot assembly line? A packaging conveyor that runs the length of a building? A picking line with workers stationed every few feet?

You could lay multiple standard mats end-to-end — but the gaps create trip hazards, the edges curl, and the mats shift apart under foot traffic and cart wheels. Custom-length mats solve the length problem but can’t be reconfigured when your line layout changes.

Hog Heaven Linkable Mats are engineered specifically for long runs.

The system uses two components: End pieces with beveled safety edges, and Middle pieces that extend the length. The pieces interlock securely and stay connected even under heavy cart traffic — a critical capability in manufacturing and distribution environments where pallet jacks, carts, and dollies roll across the matting constantly.

Need 10 feet of coverage? Two Ends plus one Middle. Need 20 feet? Two Ends plus four Middles. Need to reconfigure when the line changes? Unlink, rearrange, relink. No custom orders, no waiting, no waste.

The 3/4″ thickness provides 20% more cushion than standard 5/8″ Hog Heaven — important when workers stand on the same line for entire shifts. The nitrile rubber construction handles everything industrial environments throw at it: welding sparks (tested to 1800°F), grease, oil, chemicals. ESD electrically conductive rating protects sensitive electronics.

The OSHA-approved yellow striped border option provides high-visibility safety marking without separate floor tape that peels and requires constant replacement. Define workstations, mark walkways, and create visual boundaries built into the mat itself.

20% recycled rubber content. Made in USA.

Key Features

Modular Length System End pieces + Middle pieces = any length you need. Reconfigure when layouts change. No custom orders required.

Secure Interlocking Pieces connect firmly and stay connected under heavy cart traffic, pallet jacks, and constant foot traffic.

3/4″ Premium Cushion 20% thicker than standard Hog Heaven. High-density closed-cell nitrile/PVC foam delivers superior fatigue relief for long shifts.

Welding Safe 100% nitrile rubber surface withstands welding sparks and slag. Tested for industrial welding environments.

Grease/Oil Proof Surface Nitrile rubber surface resists grease and oil. (Cushion is grease/oil resistant.)

Chemical Resistant Handles exposure to industrial chemicals without degradation.

ESD Electrically Conductive 9.4 x 10⁵ ohms. Meets ASTM/ESD S20.20 and STM7.1 requirements. Safe for electronics assembly and static-sensitive work.

Heavy Cart Traffic Rated Designed for environments with constant pallet jack, cart, and dolly traffic across the matting.

OSHA Yellow Border Option High-visibility safety striping built into the mat. No peeling tape to replace.

Beveled Safety Edges End pieces have beveled edges that won’t crack or curl. Safe transition from floor to mat.

Molded Construction Surface molded to cushion — not glued. Eliminates delamination.

20% Recycled Content Contains 20% recycled nitrile rubber.

How to Configure Your System

Step 1: Measure Your Run Length Measure the total length you need to cover.

Step 2: Calculate Pieces Needed

Configuration Formula:

• 2 End pieces = 79.75″ base (≈6.6 feet)
• Each Middle piece adds 36″ (3 feet)

Quick Reference:

Step 3: Choose Your Border

• Black Border — Standard industrial appearance
• Yellow Striped Border — OSHA-approved high-visibility safety marking

Hog Heaven Linkable vs Standard Hog Heaven

Choose Linkable when you need continuous coverage over 6+ feet, especially for assembly lines, picking lines, or areas that may be reconfigured.

Choose Standard Hog Heaven for individual workstations, single operator positions, or areas under 6 feet.

Hog Heaven Linkable vs Modular Tiles

Choose Linkable for straight runs along assembly lines or conveyors.

Choose Modular Tiles for L-shaped areas, multiple workstations in a grid, or complex floor layouts.

Available Sizes

Both pieces available in:

• Black Border (SKU 4497)
• Yellow Striped Border (SKU 4498)

Mat sizes are approximate. Rubber shrinks and expands with temperature and time. Manufacturing variance is 3-5%.

Cleaning Instructions

Hog Heaven Linkable Mats require simple maintenance:

1. Scrub with deck brush using neutral pH detergent (as needed)
2. Rinse with hose or pressure washer
3. Lay flat or hang to dry
4. Ensure completely dry before returning to service

FAQs

How do I determine how many pieces I need?
Start with 2 End pieces (required for every run). Then add Middle pieces for length: each Middle adds 36″ (3 feet). Formula: 2 Ends (≈6.6′) + Middles × 3′ = total length.

Can I reconfigure the mats if my line layout changes?
Yes. The linkable system is designed for reconfiguration. Disconnect pieces, rearrange, and reconnect. No tools required.

Will the pieces stay connected under cart traffic?
Yes. Hog Heaven Linkable is specifically rated for heavy cart traffic including pallet jacks, carts, and dollies. The interlocking system stays secure under constant rolling loads.

What’s the difference between Linkable and Modular Tiles?
Linkable is designed for straight linear runs (assembly lines, conveyors). Modular Tiles can create any shape — L-configurations, large squares, complex layouts. Choose based on your floor plan.

Why choose the yellow border?
The yellow striped border is OSHA-approved for high-visibility safety marking. It defines work zones, marks boundaries, and provides visual safety cues — without separate floor tape that peels and requires replacement.

Is this welding safe?
Yes. The nitrile rubber surface withstands welding sparks and slag. Hog Heaven Linkable is commonly used in welding lines and fabrication areas.

Is this ESD safe for electronics?
Yes. Hog Heaven Linkable has an ESD rating of electrically conductive (9.4 x 10⁵ ohms) and meets ASTM/ESD S20.20 and STM7.1 requirements. Suitable for electronics assembly and static-sensitive manufacturing.

What’s the difference between the surface and cushion for grease resistance?
The nitrile rubber surface is grease/oil PROOF (fully resistant). The nitrile/PVC cushion is grease/oil RESISTANT (handles exposure but extended contact should be cleaned). Clean regularly in greasy environments.

How does this compare to standard Hog Heaven thickness?
Linkable is 3/4″ thick — 20% thicker than standard 5/8″ Hog Heaven. This provides additional cushioning for workers on long assembly lines who may stand in one area for extended periods.
