If you’ve ever worked on a construction site, you already know the importance of having the right tools and equipment. You also know that mats to support and stabilize your industrial machinery are one of the most crucial tools to increase the safety and efficiency of your project.
With so many different types of construction mats out there, though, how are you supposed to know which one will work best for your worksite? We’ve put together an overview of your options to help!
Laminated Mats
Laminated mats are thinner, more lightweight, and easier to move around than your other mat choices. They’re ideal for supporting lighter loads on standard construction sites and for use as temporary roadways. Laminated mats are also environmentally friendly, making them a good option for protecting plants and wildlife or making your project more sustainable.
Dragline/Digging Mats
Dragline and digging mats are particularly effective at distributing the weight of your machines to protect the ground you’re working on. They’re good stabilizers for large track equipment, excavators, off-road equipment, and pipeline projects.
Transition Mats
When using thick construction mats for your project and moving heavier loads, transition mats provide the upward angle you need to move your load from the ground up onto the mat without putting too much stress on your tires. Transition mats are frequently used at civil construction worksites, for oversized loads that need outrigger pads, and in situations where you need to climb or otherwise switch elevations with machinery.
Crane Mats
Last but not least, we have hardwood crane mats. These mats are designed for heavy-duty jobs and provide stability for various projects, making them versatile and durable for reuse. You may also place crane mats together to create a temporary roadway!
