We’ve discussed the ways you can use crane mats to shore-up your job site: they can provide stable working environments when the job site is on wet and slippery terrain or soil that’s liable to shift under the weight of your equipment. Crane mats make the perfect temporary roads to create access points to remote job sites, as well, and they can help you conditions on your work location – as well as your workers and equipment – safer, overall.
At Ritter Forest Products, we have a number of different types of crane mats available, including used crane mats, which might be good for projects that need to be completed on a budget. However, purchasing or renting used material isn’t always the right way to go.
There are many advantages to purchasing new crane mats that you might want to consider when planning your project. First and foremost, if your job site needs specific sizes of mats that you can’t find elsewhere, Ritter Forest Products can custom build your crane mats to any dimensions that you might need.
Another consideration to keep in mind is that if you’re purchasing rather than renting, you’ll only need to worry about the one-time, up-front cost. So, if your project runs late or gets delayed due to extenuating circumstances or other equipment delays (which, let’s all admit, lots of projects do) you don’t have to worry about budgeting extra money in for extended mat rentals. Plus, if your project is long-term, you’re already saving money by buying rather than renting. Once the mats are yours, you can reuse and reorganize them from site to site as needed, as well, and you won’t have to worry about buying mats again for quite a while.
So, if you’re in the market for custom-sized crane mats, or if your long-term project is about to start up and you need to shore up your job site, contact Ritter Forest Products today. We’re available to answer any questions you may have 24/7, or you can also request a quote online now.
