If you have never used any type of hardwood mat in a construction project before, you may be wondering exactly what type of surfaces would benefit from the placement of one of these mats. Either you’ve been fortunate enough to never work on unstable ground, or more likely you’ve worked on projects where mats could have and should have been used and you just didn’t know it. If that’s the case, we’re here to help you correct that oversight so it doesn’t happen again. The following are just some of the types of surfaces where you should be using mats for your heavy-duty equipment.
If you are working on any type of ground that is soft, you can greatly benefit from having hardwood mats in place. For example, if you need to move a crane on to a lawn, there is a good chance that you could at least temporarily ruin the grass. This is something that you will want to avoid, especially if you are working on a construction site for a home or commercial building. Worse yet, soft ground can even sink if too much weight is placed on it, so in many cases a hardwood mat is essential.
Hardwood crane mats are also useful if you have to move equipment across ground that is wet and muddy. Not only can wet surfaces ruin some components of your machines, but your equipment could get stuck in mud, costing you extra time and money. With hardwood mats in place, you can simply slide your machinery over spots that would otherwise take hours to get across.
There are many other types of surfaces that benefit from the use of hardwood mats, and we’re always available to provide you with more information. Feel free to give us a call today if you have any questions! Remember, these mats give the peace of mind and safety needed to complete any job!
