The EZGrip Mat Mover Story

EZGrip MAT MOVER is the original specially designed tool to move heavy rubber stall mats used in horse stalls, trailers, wash bays, dog kennels, grooming areas, barn aisles, paddocks, veterinary clinics and much more!

EZ 1The new and improved large teeth design on the trigger provides a strong grip on even the wettest of mats, and best yet, it self-adjusts to fit all style mats and sizes that are under 1” inch thickness.

The EZGrip Mat Mover was invented by Jim Connel of Montana.

The idea came to Jim while having difficulty moving stall mats in his horse barn.

Once he had found a solution to moving stall mats, he was eager to share it with everyone in the horse industry.

Not long after, in 2013, the EZGrip Mat Mover would eventually be acquired by DoCo, LLC, headquartered in Arizona.

“When I first saw the EZGrip, I knew it would be a hit, but the teeth weren’t big enough to grip--so, I redesigned the teeth on the trigger for a much more secure grip” says Don Overturf, co-owner of DoCo, LLC.

EZ 2Having had a background in plastics and as the former Vice President of Operations and CFO of the largest stall mat manufacturer in the USA, Don was eager to take the EZGrip Mat Mover to a new level in marketing, advertising, manufacturing, and customer service.

Since his takeover, online and retail sales topped 100,000+ units sold and exceeded the company’s expectations.

The units are stocked and sold at thousands of farm stores and other online outlets.

DoCo’s philosophy on business is to provide an innovative product to the marketplace, focus on quality, and reduce cost so the product can be offered at a reasonable price.

EZ 3“We truly believe in our product and our customer service, that’s why we can offer our full 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, we’ll make it right or your money back” says Don.

Give Your Dogs A Safe Space With Blue Mountain Welding

NEWBURG.Pa.--Blue Mountain Welding is a family-owned business located in Newburg Pa.

Blue Mt 1Established in 2006, we are a manufacturer of Doors, Grills and Accessories for Horse Stalls, along with having an Aluminum division making Gable Sliding and Swinging Doors and Dutch Doors for Horse Barns, Garages, Pole Buildings, and Storage Sheds.

Now we are adding Dog Kennels to our product list.

Using some of the same heavy materials that we make the horse stalls with; we will customize them according to your needs.

Unfortunately, we do not have photos to show you as we are still in the beginning stages of marketing our line of kennels.

Our Kennel Fronts will have Stainless Steel Hinge Pins, and Stainless Steel Latches that you can open from both sides.

Our Kennel Dividers can be made with glass inserts.

Blue Mt 2A few of the reasons we designed them with glass, 1: Using glass will leave a small gap all around, which leads to more airflow through your kennel. 2: So your dogs can look at their neighbors instead of having a solid wall on both sides of the interior area and to make cleanup a lot easier for you.

If the clear glass does not work for your dogs, we can frost the glass so they cannot see through it.

All our manufactured products are sand blasted, primed with a zinc primer, and powder coated with a durable finish that can be washed down to keep everything clean.

We strive to provide a product that exceeds your quality expectations as well as being fully functional and matching your dream project perfectly.

Our goal is to give immediate attention to every customer and get quotes and product out as soon as possible.
