Work vehicles are used differently from a family car. A pickup heads to the construction site, a minibus carries teams or sports clubs, and truck drivers spend entire working days in the cab. The strain on the footwell is correspondingly high. Anyone looking for suitable pickup floor mats, minibus or truck mats therefore needs one thing above all: toughness that still holds up after months of hard use.
Why work vehicles need special floor mats
People get in and out of commercial vehicles more often than any private car. Add work boots with coarse treads, clay, cement dust, oil and, in winter, plenty of snow and road salt. The original floor covering is rarely up to this constant strain. Once it is soaked or dirty, it is hard to clean and the resale value drops.
Work vehicles are also often driven by several people. A mat that slips or slides under the pedals is then not just a comfort issue but a safety problem for the whole team.
Pickup floor mats
Pickups such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max or VW Amarok are popular in Switzerland, whether in agriculture, forestry, construction or as towing vehicles for horse trailers and boats. They combine workhorse and everyday car. That’s exactly why the mat should do both: hold back heavy dirt and still look well kept when the vehicle is used privately at the weekend.
In our category floor mats for minibus and pickup you will find custom-fit models with high edges that cover the entire footwell. Mud and water stay in the tray and can easily be emptied after use.
Minibuses and vans: lots of space, lots of feet
Minibuses and vans have large floor areas and usually a continuous driver’s cab. When used for school transport, shuttle services, clubs or trade businesses, many people get in every day, and each one brings dirt inside.
What matters here is a mat cut precisely to the cab that doesn’t create trip edges at the transitions. Waterproof materials prevent moisture from building up in the floor and causing unpleasant odours. For the cargo area or boot of estates and vans, a tough trunk mat is also a good idea.
Truck floor mats: the driver’s workplace
For professional drivers, the cab is workplace, break room and sometimes bedroom. A clean, dry floor contributes directly to wellbeing. The category floor mats for trucks offers mats for common truck models that withstand getting in and out every day.
Heavy vehicles are also subject to special rules on working and rest times and on vehicle equipment. The Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) provides an overview of the rules for heavy goods traffic.
What to look for when buying
- Fit: The mat must be made for your model and year. Cab shapes vary greatly between versions, especially for commercial vehicles.
- High edge: It holds back water, mud and snow.
- Grip: A non-slip underside and the use of existing fastening points ensure a secure hold.
- Cleaning: The mat should be removable and easy to rinse with water.
- Cold resistance: The material must not become hard or brittle at sub-zero temperatures.

Universal mats for rare models
Not every special vehicle has a model-specific shape. For older vans, municipal vehicles or conversions, universal floor mats can be a practical solution. When trimming, make sure the pedals remain completely free.
Frequently asked questions
Do pickup mats also fit the double cab?
That depends on the cab version. Single, extra and double cabs have different footwells. So always choose the exact version of your vehicle.
Can the mats withstand steel-toe work boots?
Yes. The tough material is designed for high mechanical stress. Remove stones from the treads regularly, though, so they don’t press into the surface.
Can I order mats for a whole company fleet?
Yes. Send us the models and the quantity you need, and we’ll gladly check availability and get back to you.
