The Mesh Mule sets welded wire mesh and bar mats at twice the pace of hand placement — with half the crew and none of the back-breaking lifts. A VMI Group rental.
Foot mats
Crew size
Real jobsite footage, sped up — pick, place, release, repeat.
Set wire mesh and bar mats twice as fast as hand placement, keeping reinforcement ahead of the pour.
Eliminates the repetitive lifting, bending, and load-carrying behind the two most common jobsite recordables.
Fewer workers needed for mat setting — freeing labor for higher-value work on the slab.
Uniform mat positioning across industrial floors, warehouse slabs, site paving, and structural foundations.
Maintained by our in-house field mechanics and safety-conscious staff for responsive service and maximum uptime.
Switch the gage and replay the run. The Mesh Mule keeps pace with the pour where hand crews fall behind.
Rare-earth magnet pads on a sprung frame grab the mesh and self-level on contact — mounted to a standard rough-terrain forklift.
Drive in and lower the sprung frame over the staged bundle of mesh.
Magnet pads grab and self-level; hydraulics lift the mat — up to 500 lb.
Set it on layout, release, repeat — twice as fast as setting by hand.
