The Gist:
Australia Zoo used heavy-duty, interlocking Kura rubber mats secured with stainless-steel anchors to solve the problem of rhinos damaging concrete floors and lifting standard mats.
The system delivered zero mat movement, reduced joint stress for the rhinos, and improved enclosure hygiene and cleaning speed.
This proven, durable combination is now the top choice for zoos worldwide, offering reliable performance and long-term cost savings.
Australia Zoo faced a common zoo challenge: concrete floors damage rhino feet and joints over time. Standard rubber mats fail when powerful animals pry edges with horns. The zoo demanded a premium solution that stays locked in place under multi-ton pressure.
We supplied one pallet of heavy-duty Kura interlocking rubber mats. Installation finished in hours. The male rhino tested the floor aggressively from day one. Extra stainless-steel anchors with recessed washers and plugs solved every lifting attempt.
The upgrade delivered instant results:
- Zero mat movement, even under extreme horn pressure
- Reduced foot problems and joint stress
- Faster cleaning with superior drainage
- Quieter enclosures that lower animal stress
- Cleaner surfaces that improve overall hygiene
Confidence in the system grew fast. Australia Zoo expanded coverage across all rhino concrete areas with additional anchors shipped overnight.
Zoos worldwide now choose the same premium combination because it outperforms everything else. Thick, interlocking Kura mats paired with stainless-steel anchors create a floor that animals cannot destroy and keepers rely on daily.
You get proven durability, simple installation, and long-term cost savings.
