Why One Trackway Grab Doesn't Fit Every Trackway Mat

If you've ever handled different brands of trackway mats, you'll know they're rarely the same.

Widths vary. Profiles differ. Connection systems change. Some mats are heavier, some are deeper, and many require slightly different clamping positions for safe handling.

The problem? Many Trackway Grabs are designed around a single type of mat.

At Autoguide Equipment, we saw this challenge becoming increasingly common. Contractors weren't asking for another Trackway Grab. They were asking for one attachment capable of handling more than one type of trackway mat.

That's why we're delighted to introduce the new Autoguide Multi-Grab, developed in collaboration with Voltage Solutions.

The Challenge with Modern Trackway Mats

The trackway mat market has evolved rapidly over recent years.

Rather than a handful of standard designs, operators now work with a wide variety of trackway mat manufacturers, each with their own dimensions and construction.

For companies managing large fleets or working across multiple customers, changing attachments simply because the trackway mat changes costs valuable time.

We believed there was a better solution.

A Trackway Grab Designed Around Flexibility

Instead of designing another grab for a single style of mat, we started with a simple question:

"What if one Trackway Grab could safely handle almost everything?"

The result is the Autoguide Multi-Grab.

Developed alongside Voltage Solutions, the Multi-Grab has been engineered with a substantially wider clamping range, allowing operators to handle a much broader selection of trackway mats using a single attachment.

With an adjustable clamping width of 1,750 mm to 3,000 mm, it offers exceptional flexibility without compromising the strength or durability expected from Autoguide equipment.

More Than Just a Wider Grab

A wider opening is only part of the story.

A good Trackway Grab also needs to provide:

• Consistent hydraulic clamping force

• Positive grip across different mat profiles

• Accurate positioning

• Robust construction for demanding environments

• Long service life with minimal maintenance

These principles have shaped the entire Autoguide Trackway Grab range from the beginning. Every model is designed to lift and position trackway mats safely while reducing manual handling and improving efficiency.

Developed with Industry Experience

The best engineering projects happen when manufacturers work closely with end users.

Our partnership with Voltage Solutions brought together practical, day-to-day experience of handling trackway mats with Autoguide's design and manufacturing expertise.

The result isn't simply a larger grab. It's a purpose-built attachment designed to solve a genuine operational problem faced by contractors every day.

Is the Multi-Grab Right for You?

If your business only handles one style of trackway mat, a standard Trackway Grab may be all you need.

However, if you regularly work with multiple mat types, hire equipment to different customers or simply want greater flexibility from a single attachment, the Multi-Grab could eliminate the need for multiple dedicated grabs.

It provides the versatility to handle a wider range of trackway mats while retaining the build quality, hydraulic performance and reliability that Autoguide products are known for.

Built for the Future of Trackway Mat Handling

As the range of available trackway mats continues to grow, handling equipment needs to evolve with it.

The Autoguide Multi-Grab represents the next step in that evolution. Designed and manufactured in the UK, it gives operators one adaptable solution for handling a broad variety of trackway mats, helping improve efficiency without sacrificing strength or control.
