HANDLING AND TRANSPORTING MATS
Resilite LiteWeight Mats weigh approximately 120 lbs per
6’ x 42’ roll. When lifting or carrying a rolled mat section to
place onto a mat cart, always use two (2) or more people.
Resilite sells a variety of mat transporters and carts to assist
when moving a rolled mat section. You may also find it
helpful to use a standard hand truck to move a mat section.

WARNING
REMOVE THE MAT FROM THE
TRANSPORTER BEFORE STORING. NEVER STORE MATS
ON MAT TRANSPORTERS OR CARTS. PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE MAT WILL OCCUR.
STORING YOUR MAT
The best way to extend the life
of a mat is to
store the mat
in a warm, dry area with the
rolls strapped and standing
on end.
Never store a mat on a
mat mover, cart, or transporter.
If storing a mat on the floor,
the floor should be clean and
dry. If moisture is a concern,
place a barrier of smooth plastic
underneath the mat to prevent
water or moisture from contacting
the mat and/or foam.
WARNING
IMPROPER STORAGE WILL CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MATS.
NOTE:
Compressed foam or deep impressions in the foam
render a mat surface unsafe and it cannot be repaired if you
do not follow the storage instructions; and the warranty on your
mat will be void.
Never store mats on mat movers or on mat transporters.
Never store mats against, on top of, or beneath other
objects because impressions or sharp objects can
damage the foam.
Do not use tape, chains, ropes, wires, or ratchet
straps to secure the mat; as it may damage the
exposed foam.
DESIGNATE A STORAGE AREA
It is important that the mat be stored on a smooth surface,
free of objects or obstructions. Rolling a mat with an
object on the mat surface can put an impression into the
surface of the mat. No objects should be stored on top
of or beneath the mat. Also, do not push the mat tight
against other objects or obstructions that can cause
impressions or punctures in the foam.
TEMPERATURE
NOTE:
Extremely cold temperatures will cause the
foam to increase in density. This increase in density will change
the characteristics of the mat. When fitting the mat into a custom
area, it is recommended that the mat be kept at room temperature
(60° or higher) for a period of 12 hours. The mats then can be
rolled out.
Never expose a mat to temperatures above 140° F.
