Few things are worse than getting an automobile or machine stuck in the mud. Luckily for construction workers, mats can help crews move their machines along the ground with ease. Many job sites use crane mats, but if the job requires a more narrow and precise approach, a digging or dragline mat might be more useful.
Unlike a crane mat, a digging mat is much smaller and narrower. This means that they can be laid down in narrower spaces or in hard-to-reach areas, offering a more direct approach. Digging mats are also much easier to move because they have a cable or exposed bolts attached to them, providing an ease way to attach them to other equipment for easy moving. This means that your machines can move more quickly, helping you get the project done faster.
Digging mats are also very thick, providing a great deal of strength and stability. They can also be used for a wide variety of projects. Whether you’re working on an excavation job or an off-road project, chances are the digging mat is the right tool for the job.
These mats are a perfect solution to preserving and protecting the ground beneath where you need your equipment to travel. Having your machines move over digging mats these won’t cause as much harm to vegetation and the land beneath as just driving over it would. In addition, with their narrow footprint, they have an even smaller impact on the areas bring traversed, and can easily accommodate standard width vehicles or track-driven equipment.
