Hastings, a worldwide manufacturer of hotline tools and equipment, offers a portable, protective ground mat workers can use to establish an equal potential zone for multiple grounding applications.
The ground mat is composed of vinyl polyester, anti-skid fabric, with high-ampacity tinned-copper braid sewn into a grid pattern. The braided copper on the grid is connected to a 6-inch termination stud on the corner of the mat, and is then bonded to the equipment being worked on by using a safe and reliable ground cable assembly.
The anti-skid material offers application in all types of weather and can be easily bonded together to create any work size area needed. Available in yellow and black, the easy-to-store, reversible ground mat can be cleaned with standard hose pressure or power washer.
