First Mats, one of the leading UK-based industrial and commercial floor matting retailers, is pleased to announce the enhancement of their popular Anti-Fatigue Mats range. First Mats has introduced improvements to the product selection process, making it simpler and more user-friendly for customers to find the right Anti-Fatigue Mat for their unique needs.

The revamped Anti-Fatigue Mats range, which has been a favourite among production operatives and managers for over five years, has undergone a transformation designed to make the unique features of each mat more visible. According to Marketing Director Richard O’Connor, “We’ve consolidated the range, and made the unique features of each product more visible, but the most significant change is a new rating system that makes it easy to compare the comfort, grip and durability of each mat at a glance.”

The new rating system is a key part of the enhancements, providing customers with a straightforward way to evaluate and compare products based on key features. In addition, First Mats has conducted extensive reviews on each product in the range. Detailed product information, specifications, and suggested applications are now more accessible, enabling customers to make informed decisions about the best mat for their needs.

SpillTector Generator Drip Trays

Posted on 17 January, 202329 July, 2025 by David Priestman

Floor matting and safety product specialists, First Mats, have announced the addition of a new range of Generator Drip Trays. Named SpillTector, these specially designed trays catch generator oil leaks, protecting the surrounding environment from contamination.

The SpillTector products are designed with various features that make them more effective in safely containing oil leaks than traditional drip trays. Firstly, the range covers four sizes from 70cm x 55cm for small, portable generators to extra large 137cm x 200cm for heavy-duty applications. In each case, the trays have flexible walls that allow the operator to simply roll the generator over the edge and onto the tray without needing specialist lifting equipment.

However, the clever part of the SpillTector design is the mats supplied with the drip trays. These uniquely designed mats are made up of several layers of absorbent materials, topped with a durable PVC grid to prevent the layers from tearing under the generator. The absorbent layer is made from a hydrophobic material that quickly absorbs oil whilst repelling water. The advantage is that if the generator is used outside, any rainwater will run off the mat and drain through the holes in the plastic tray underneath, while the mat will safely contain any oil leaks.

Each mat can absorb between 4 and 32 litres of oil, depending on the size, and can be replaced with a new mat when full. These clever features of the SpillTector range mean generator leaks can be contained quickly and efficiently with minimal fuss. The trays offer a reliable, cost-effective way to help generator users meet their environmental obligations, making them a fantastic addition to First Mats’ existing range of safety-focused products.
