Road construction is a tricky business, especially when you’re working on a road that’s still partially in use or a bit difficult to maneuver. So, it’s always important to make sure that every safety measure available to you and your crew is in place before the job gets started. Adding crane mats to your job site is a great way to help make it safer.
Crane mats are useful in a number of precarious construction situations, and can be particularly helpful when you’re working in wet or slippery conditions. Crane mats will provide a stable and slip-resistant surface for your machinery to rest on while you and your crew are working. Some areas where we find that crane mats are helpful to prevent slipping and sliding include wet conditions near or on bridges, roads that are near waterways, and in conditions where the land is soft and pliable.
If the road you’re working on is off the beaten path, dragline mats are perfect for use as temporary roads. Dragline mats can also be helpful for lugging heavy loads out past the pavement, and will help prevent damage to machinery or trucks that can be caused by slipping and sliding in the mud.
You can also use three-ply laminated mats for any of your dragging or lifting needs. Laminated three-ply mats will ensure that your construction materials stay stable and secure, so that you can move these items to and around your job site more quickly and efficiently. We’re also currently offering a sale on used 8-by-16-foot laminated mats in a range of conditions – call our Houston location at 866-673-4800 today for more information.
Crane mats are helpful on all sorts of roadway construction projects, and will help to ensure the safety of your crew and your equipment. For more information on any of our mats, request a quote online now or contact us 24/7 at any of our convenient locations.
