What is Ribtrax®?
Ribtrax® is a 40×40 cm modular floor tile with a ventilated, non-slip surface. It snaps together without adhesives, spans minor imperfections and lifts easily for cleaning or re-configuration. Use it to create full workshop floors, pad your pit bay, or frame a vehicle in a studio or showroom.
Fast install
Interlocking tiles click into place; trim to fit; add ramped edges at entrances.
Motorsport tough
Made for busy bays, rolling loads and frequent foot traffic.
Grip & drainage
Open profile helps disperse water and hide dust/debris for a cleaner underfoot feel.
Pro finish
Chequers, borders and accents deliver a pit-ready look in minutes.
Where Ribtrax® excels
- Detailing & auto studios — pair Ribtrax® near wash bays for drainage; border Smoothtrax® zones for photos.
- Showrooms & display stands — crisp stripes and colour blocks to frame vehicles.
Colours & pattern ideas
- Chequers: classic two-tone for garages and show spaces.
- Perimeter border: safety contrast that frames bays and walkways.
- Accent stripe: team colour runway under the vehicle centreline.
Edges, corners & orientation
Finish your layout with matching ramped edges and corner pieces for smooth transitions at doorways and walkways.
- Tile orientation: when laying tiles, keep the pegged connectors facing forward so looped edge ramps clip on cleanly.
- Linear coverage: edge pieces are the same 40 cm width as a tile—plan ~2.5 pieces per metre of exposed edge.
- Mix & match: borders don’t have to match the field colour—contrast improves visibility and photographs well.

Ribtrax® FAQs
Is Ribtrax® suitable for pits and paddocks?
Yes. The ventilated surface helps water drain and maintains grip. Layouts deploy and pack down quickly for race weekends.
Can I use trolley jacks and equipment trolleys on Ribtrax®?
Ribtrax® is designed for busy workshops and rolling loads. Always operate heavy equipment on a suitable, level sub-floor and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for load distribution.
What’s the difference between Ribtrax® and Smoothtrax®?
Ribtrax® has an open, ventilated profile for drainage and grip—great for wet or dirty zones. Smoothtrax® is closed and satin-smooth—ideal for studios and show areas. They share height and edging, so you can mix them seamlessly.
Do I need adhesives?
No. The interlocking system is mechanical. Use ramped edges and corners for tidy, trip-safe transitions.
How do I clean and maintain the floor?
Sweep or vacuum as normal. For deeper cleans, lift a section to access the slab beneath, then click tiles back into place.
