What is Access Trax?

Access Trax (formerly known as Beach Trax) is a durable, lightweight, foldable and portable wheelchair mat system for access over uneven terrain like sand, gravel, mud, and grass.
It was invented by occupational therapists and inspired by adaptive surfers in California! Each Access Trax mat is wide enough for a full 360 degree turn using most mobility devices including power chairs. Plus, they are durable and will last for many years to come.
Stake the mats down for a long term solution such as ADA compliant community beach or park access. Trusted by over 30 nonprofits around the world and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Each Access Trax panel comes with 1 – Grey panel 36 x 36 x 1/8 inch length/width/thickness (91.4 x 91.4 x 0.317 cm) and 3 – Hinges
