The “Problem” (Set Up and Take Down)

Vs.

The “Solution” (The Mat Hoist®)

The Goal

From the very beginning in 1976, it was wrestling coaches that gave me the idea to ceiling store a wrestling mat in the gym. Competition mats grew in size and weight but were still manufactured in three (3) equal sections.

SET UP: It always took an army of wrestlers to move the heavy mat sections from the practice room to the gym (on the night of the meet) and interrupt basketball practice (blah blah blah). Sometimes two competition mats; roll them out, clean and tape them, wrestle.

TAKE DOWN: Everybody (all wrestlers) pull the tape; roll them up, take back to the practice room again (15-30 minutes). How unfair! What other high school sport has to go through this?

It was for the love of wrestling that I decided to dedicate my business life to wrestlers on meet night! Put a one-piece meet mat in the main gym where it is needed!

Simply turn the key to lower your mats out of the Mat Hoist® sling, roll them out, air float to the center of the gym. The best we could do is, five minutes set up time! Five minutes take down! Coach, it’s time to make it happen. The Mat Hoist® was created for your wrestling program.

You’re welcome.
