The first MatRack® was designed, patented, manufactured and sold to Deer Park High School in Deer Park, NY, in 1985, and the second was sold to Lindenhurst HS in Lindenhurst, NY shortly thereafter. Both of these original products are still in use today! The WallRack™ and MatMate™ were introduced over the next several years. With those three products in the market place, the MatRack® System was born!
The dictionary defines a system as “a combination of related elements organized into a complex whole”. Our products have been efficiently designed and manufactured to interact in this very same way. They work together seamlessly: they’re simple to use, require a minimum amount of manpower to operate, protect your mats from being damaged, and will provide years of trouble free service.
We purchase the finest parts and materials, and are so confident in the quality of our racks, that we offer an unprecedented three year warrantee against defects in workmanship and manufacturing. All units may be custom sized to meet your specific needs.

Winch Loaded MatRack®
Suspending three mat sections in a triangular configuration minimizes the size of this mobile unit. It’s most often used to deliver your mats to the competition area, off load them, and then stand by for pickup and removal at the end of the event. With a loaded dimension of 5’ 6” wide, 6’ 5” high and 17’ 8” long, it move’s through a standard sized double door, and fits into most storage closets. The 5” diameter caster wheels operate effectively on any smooth, hard surface, and two to three people can roll it in any direction for any distance. Our winch is easily operated by one adult with minimum effort. The Winch Loaded MatRack® system has a shipping weight of 700 lbs., and can be assembled and ready for use in about 2 hours.
The WallRack™
Effective use of storage space is the hallmark of the WallRack™. Because the three sections are stored in a vertical line, the lower mat section only protrudes approximately 4’ from the wall, which allows room for all your other physical education equipment. This unit permanently attaches at four points on the floor and four points on the wall, so you can be certain it will never move. Customized sized units are popular with this model. It’s perfectly complimented by our Model MM1: the MatMate™, as that unit will deliver mat sections to and from the storage and competition areas, with no lifting. The WallRack™ has a shipping weight of 750 lbs. It can be assembled, installed and ready for use in about 4 hours.
