High Country Plastics Grabbit Mat Mover Tool

A stall mat weighs more than it looks, and its edge is hard to grip when your hands are wet, cold or full of bedding. The Grabbit takes that fight out of the job. Its self-adjusting grip fits mats up to 1 inch thick, including heavy-duty mats, and the contoured handle gives you a firm hold while you pull with one hand.

The aggressive teeth help the grip stay put as you drag the mat across the floor, and the push-button release lets go once the mat is where it belongs. The impact-resistant poly body is built to take the knocks of barn work, and the tool is made in the USA. Pull the mat in a straight line and the move is quick, clean and easy on your hands.

Highlights

• One-handed operation for pulling mats
• Self-adjusts to mats up to 1 inch thick
• Aggressive teeth help limit slipping
• Contoured handle for a firm grip
• Impact-resistant poly construction
• Made in the USA

What it's for

Every stall that gets a fresh bed needs its mats moved sooner or later, whether you're cleaning underneath, turning the mat or resetting a stall that shifted during a rough week. Stall mats are heavy, awkward and slick when they are wet, and dragging one by its corner is how backs and fingers take the strain. A mover with a grip gives you leverage without putting your hands under the edge.

It suits a boarding barn with a rotating stall schedule, a lesson barn where mats get shifted between sessions, or a single horse setup where one person does all the work. If you do stall work alone, one tool that does the grabbing for you earns its spot on the wall.

How to use it

1. Clear the stall floor along the mat edge so the mover can reach a clean, firm part of the mat.
2. Set the tool over the mat edge so the teeth sit on the mat.
3. Pull with one hand and keep the mat moving in a straight line.
4. Press the button to release the grip once the mat is in place, then check that it lies flat.

Good to know

• Keep the mover on the wall near the mats so it is the first thing you reach for.
• Pair it with a stall fork and a push broom, the next tools in the routine after a mat move.
• Check the teeth and the release button every few months, and replace a damaged tool before it fails under load.
• A mover can't fix a cracked or warped mat. Replace a mat that has broken down instead of dragging it.
