Dirt collection trays are a perfect complement to entrance mat systems.
For this reason, entrance mats with dirt collection trays have become a popular solution. What exactly do they do, how do they work best, and how do you choose the right model?
A floor-recessed mat alone is not always enough to prevent the entry of dirt from outside into the building.
The dirt collection tray is a type of container where dirt is collected, located beneath the entrance mat.
At Alukraft, we manufacture dirt collection trays in any length and width for our customers—perfectly tailored for every entrance cleaning zone. You don’t have to limit the size of your entrance mat.
Advanced models are equipped with drainage that directs water into the sewage system.
This works particularly well in areas where the entrance mat with the tray is uncovered. The area around the building entrance, therefore, gets a guaranteed natural water runoff on rainy days.

What is an entrance mat system with a dirt collection tray?
The entrance mat system with a dirt collection tray is the most effective solution for removing dirt from the soles of shoes as people enter the building.
While the mat efficiently removes dirt as people walk over it, the dirt collection tray with drainage directs debris and excess water directly into the sewage system.
Our offering includes the possibility to use any type of entrance mat—ribbed mat, rubber mat, or brush mat—of any size, along with a complete dirt collection tray.
Dirt collection trays can successfully accommodate all types of aluminum profile mats as well as steel grates. The dimensions of the system do not impose any limitations!
Our products stand out in the market due to their durability, aesthetics, and exceptional attention to detail, ensuring customer satisfaction.
Where are dirt collection trays used?
In single-family homes and apartments, a high-quality textile mat is usually sufficient, as foot traffic is relatively low compared to public or commercial spaces.
Dirt collection trays with entrance mats prove practical in areas with high traffic. This solution is more effective because dirt does not spread around the aluminum profile mat and does not remain on its surface for long but flows into the tray beneath.
Therefore, we often find this type of construction in office buildings, public institutions, shopping centers, train stations, and airports. An entrance mat with a dirt collection tray is also a good solution in areas where shopping carts, wheelchairs, strollers, or small vehicles regularly enter the building.
An exterior entrance mat with a dirt collection tray equipped with drainage is an ideal solution in locations where water accumulates, requiring effective drainage of the entrance area.
How to choose a dirt collection tray for an entrance mat?
When selecting a dirt collection tray for an entrance mat, it is worth considering a solid construction that ensures the durability of the system.
High-quality dirt collection trays are made of aluminum. Their design allows for easy adjustment to the aluminum profile mat and provides free access to the interior.
For larger areas, the option for modular connections should be available.
A good fit between the dirt collection tray and the entrance mat is crucial, as it ensures the necessary stability of the entire structure. All of our products are always perfectly matched to each other.
Which products can also be used with our dirt collection trays?
Dirt collection trays complement our offering not only for entrance mats but are also an excellent fit for installation with entrance grates.
We also offer other products that complement the entire entrance mat system: ramp edges, mat frames, rubber mats, and clean-off mats.
You can check the prices for entrance mats, dirt collection trays, and accessories in our configurator or contact us directly. We guarantee very high product quality and timely delivery. The durability of our dirt collection trays is backed by the warranty we provide.
Additional technical information:
The dirt collection trays are made entirely of aluminum.
Cross beams are installed within the system to provide a stable base for the entrance mat. Additionally, it is possible to use a 30 mm high steel grate under the entrance mat for increased stability and to handle heavier loads.
The dirt collection tray can be used with entrance mats with a profile height of 19 mm, with rubber ring mats, or with grates of 20 mm.
We can manufacture dirt collection trays for entrance mats of any size using modular connections! Practically, a maximum size of an individual dirt collection tray of up to 36 m² is possible.
The dirt collection tray cannot be used together with a mounting frame.
