Epoxy Flooring can resist metal track machines. Don't you think?
 
I would use a good epoxy with a urethane topcoat and then put matting under that. You will scratch it otherwise.
 
The primary purpose is to make your area rugs slip resistant on hardwood or laminate flooring. Some area rugs may have a great look and feel but slide around when placed over top of hardwood floors. Rug pads are made of a special felt that blends the floor covering seamlessly with them floor while preventing it from slipping around.
 
I disagree, epoxy is not as durable as a urethane and the epoxy may not hold up well to those metal tracks and weight (epoxy does not have good elongation). Good commercial floors have a urethane topcoat.

So, use either a polyaspartic (a polyurea) or use a spray elastomer from a professional.
 
The only floor coating that will hold up to steel tracks like that is a sand or quartz filled epoxy, troweled down at 1/4" thickness or more. Very expensive and not within the category of DIY in the least. Another option could be a spray applied polyurea floor coating similar to bedliner technology
