Snow-Melting Mats Tackle Snow and Ice Buildup at FedEx Ground Transport in Buffalo, NY

“One of the walkways between two buildings gets no sunlight, making the accumulation of snow and ice in this spot a constant problem,” said Facilities Manager Eric Robinson. “Salting and de-icing agents weren’t effective enough and there is always a concern about the damage these chemicals can cause to landscaping. The HeatTrak mats resolved the issue and at the same time saved us time and maintenance costs.” 

HeatTrak’s snow melting mat systems are designed to prevent snow and ice accumulation at industrial facilities and commercial environments, according to senior HeatTrak product specialist Ryan Williams. He explained that HeatTrak mats prevent new snow from accumulating by melting it on contact at a rate of two inches per hour.

“Our snow melting mats are durable, economical, and stand up to heavy foot traffic. They have made a significant difference at FedEx Ground Transport by keeping their walkway clear of snow and ice without compromising on cleanliness. The issue they had is a common one at facilities with heavy foot traffic. Our mats have become the ‘go-to’ solution to address this problem,” Williams said.
