Laminated mats are a common choice on construction sites and in the field. These durable, three-ply laminated mats are incredibly versatile and are an excellent choice for a number of jobs. Here’s a look at five great uses for laminated mats at your job site.
Temporary Road
One leading use for these mats is to serve as a temporary access road through otherwise impassible or tough travel areas. These mats are easy to smoothly string in sequence and are covered with a layer of protective laminate which offers improved durability and traction in situations where it would otherwise be difficult to get to.
Surface Protection
Just as the mats can help you get across tough terrain, they can also help you get across manicured terrain or protected areas. By covering sensitive lawns or ground constructions like sidewalks that can’t handle the weight of heavier machines, you can get your equipment where you need it to be without damaging the ground beneath.
Material Lifting
Another great use for laminated mats is for lifting materials at a job site. Our mats offer connection points for chains or cables to attach, giving you a way to load up materials to be carried. Whether carrying a mat with construction materials to a remote location or lifting supplies to workers in high locations, laminated mats can carry the load of supplies and offer additional traction to help prevent items from shifting on the platform.
Digging Platforms
These three-ply laminated mats also serve as excellent digging platforms for earth moving operations. With 12-, 14- and 16-foot lengths available, select the right size mat that gives you the space you need to brace your machinery while also protecting the ground beneath from the motion of your digging equipment and outriggers.
Wet Terrain
Lastly, laminated mats are an effective way to get across heavily saturated terrain, such as in a wetland area or swamp. In fact, laminated mats are sometimes known as “swamp mats,” and are a versatile solution for traveling in soft or loose soil areas as well.
No matter what you need laminated mats for at your job site, they’re a great solution for many different climates, terrains and locations. Find out more, including prices for renting and purchasing these mats for your next project, by contacting Ritter Forest Products today!
