Abstract
Portable, foldable mats for construction sites, in particular for loaded drywall carts to roll thereover when unfolded, have an elongate body defining a plurality of panels foldable upon one another beginning from a first end toward a second end onto itself repeatedly until any tertiary panels are contained between an initial panel and an immediately neighboring second panel of the initial panel. Each panel has a sheet of material therein that has a load rating of at least 1000 pounds. The mats have a first handle extending from the initial panel and a second handle extending from the immediately neighboring second panel at a position to align with the first handle when the mat is in a fully folded state.
