A drag mat is an essential maintenance tool designed to keep artificial turf surfaces in optimal condition. It helps maintain a consistent, level playing surface by evenly distributing infill material and lifting flattened fibres. Regular use improves surface performance, safety and visual appearance. Can be drawn behind a tractor.
Key Benefits
Redistributes Infill Evenly
Ensures the rubber crumb or sand infill is spread uniformly across the surface, preventing compaction, low spots or migration into goalmouths and high-wear areas.
Lifts and Restores Fibres
Helps raise the pile of synthetic turf, keeping the fibres upright for better ball roll, traction and aesthetic quality.
Improves Surface Consistency
Reduces uneven areas caused by heavy play or weathering, maintaining a safe and predictable surface for athletes.
Prepares Surface for Brushing or Grooming
Often used before or after brushing to enhance the effectiveness of other maintenance equipment.
Quick and Easy to Use
Can be towed behind a small utility vehicle or used manually depending on the model, requiring minimal training or setup time.
