Mobi-mat® BAM™ beach access mats are recognized by the most demanding expeditionnary units in the world as amphibious landing roadways. Since 1994, they are used for every major ship-to-shore operations like natural disaster response or expatriate citizen evacuation. BAM™ beach access mats are daily used by logistic-over-the-shore units all over the world. They assure vehicle mobility once they have reached the shore, whatever the ground is (sand, soil, gravel, mud, snow …) and whatever the vehicle load (truck, tank, crane, …).

Military Load Classification and Californian Bearing Ratio
The BAM™ amphibious roadway range offers different grade of temporary roadway. Adapted to the vehicle load – the MLC (Military Load Classification) – and the ground stability – the CBR (Californian Bearing Ratio), the BAM™ amphibious roadway can meet all requirements.

 BAM™ A2X – Lightweight amphibious roadway

The BAM™ A2X is the original beach access mat developed by Mobi-mat®. This lightweight amphibious roadway can be deployed very quickly by hands and allows small teams to create a temporary roadway without any mechanical equipment.

 BAM™ FCR – Aluminium amphibious roadway

The BAM™ FCR is the ultimate beach access mat. Fully made with high resistance aluminium alloy, it can bear the heaviest vehicles on the worst shores. It allows the armored tracked vehicles. Mobi-mat® engineering teams designed it in order to support the biggest amphibious logistic operations. The BAM™ FCR performs particularly in very weak soils like liquid mud. It is easily deployed thanks to dedicated deployment systems.

  • weight: 31 kg/m² (6,35 lb/sqft)
  • standard dimensions and weight: 4,2m x 25m (13,8′ x 82′) – 3 255 kg (7176 lb) or 4,6m x 50m (15,1′ x 164′) – 7820 kg (17 240 lb)
