Heavy Equipment Mats are the ideal durable solution for high-traffic work sites. These mats are designed to interlock, forming a strong stable foundation platform that is able to take use and abuse from heavy tools, vehicles, and equipment.

In particular, these heavy-duty composite mats are great for constructing portable roadways in muddy or soft soil areas. Additionally, these HDPE composite mats can be quickly installed to create working platforms. Heavy Equipment Matting is commonly found on job sites such as oil rigs and power transmission plants.

For MegaDeck installations, the manufacturer recommends using 8 Megadeck pins per mat.

Temporary Ground Protection for Heavy Equipment

Ground protection mats will protect sensitive surfaces from heavy equipment rutting while protecting pedestrians from uneven, muddy surfaces. These mats will connect using 2-way or 4-way metal connectors to prevent mats from skipping across areas with heavy vehicle traffic and allowing access mats for safety using portable roadways and for light-duty work platforms.

Versatile, Dependable Traction

Temporary road mats come with a standard rugged traction pattern for heavy equipment on one side and a pedestrian-friendly pattern on the opposite side. The rugged side will prevent equipment from getting out of control under wet or slippery conditions.

These mats are engineered to provide a firm support base and stable traction. These mats are lightweight for good installation and do not require special tools to install. These mats are molded from a blend of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and can easily link with connectors to form a continuous roadway. These artificial turf protection mats are also used for performances or concert staging or for added seating over the turf. Whether you are staging large or small mats for temporary protection, these mats will protect the synthetic turf, track infield areas, or when a venue will be needed for any event or gathering that could place potential damage, stress, or overuse.

The Advantages Of Ground Mats For Vehicle Traction & Ground Protection

Ground Surface - These mats are designed for ground protection without any preparation over grass, concrete, asphalt, gravel, soil, and sandy soils.

Little to no groundwork is required for the installation of ground protection mats but the ground should be somewhat level and all large rocks should be removed from the area. Ground mats can be used on mud, grass, sand, and other surface but weight load capacities will be reduced on softer surfaces. Geotextiles are an option for very soft surfaces to help distribute weight and additional support and weight loading. Ground mats should not be used as bridging material or used to cross or span large gaps, gullies, or chasms.

Weight Loading - This can vary depending on the sub-surface up to an 80-ton capacity on solid flat surfaces.

Track Equipment

Most ground protection mats will withstand the movement of track equipment even if there is a possibility of scratching or nicks. These incidences should not affect the lifespan of the mats or lessen their performance.

Show caution when dealing with very rough terrain when running heaving equipment on the mats. Slow and even equipment torque should be applied in these conditions

Always get the performance specs and recommended load limits before choosing the ground protection to keep your equipment and workers safe.If you will have a very large, heavy telescoping crane, you need to have the specified safety requirements for ground protection.

Protect against Invasive Plants, Runnoff, or Contamination

There are environmental regulations in some states regarding sensitive sites requiring composite mating to guarantee that no invasive species or cross-contamination or waste and debris will reach the ground.

Always research ahead of time for any restrictions in the area you will be working in and ensure you understand all the requirements before setting up shop. Wood mats will absorb water and contaminants and cannot be easily cleaned. Composite mats can be pressure washed before or after removal, reused, and transported to a new site without worrying about cross-contamination.

If toxic liquids are discovered that should not reach the ground, use a waterproof protective layer or geotextile before placing the mats on the site.

Will You Re-Use The Ground Protection For Another Project At A Different Location?

If you will be using the ground protection mats for another project, you should understand the benefits of using high-quality composite matting in comparison to wood matting. You will save a great deal of money and have an excellent ROI on the next project. Composite mats offer the best quality, and will not rot, or lose strength when wet. They are lighter in weight and require fewer trucks to move things around.

Companies can transport more composite mats than wood mats on each truck which will reduce shipping, labor, and fuel costs. Crews will spend a great deal less time cleaning up or repairing rutting or soil compaction issues on an affected site.

Why Do People Choose Ground Protection Mats Over Other Alternatives?

There is no doubt, that you should choose ground protection mats instead of other alternatives because they are durable, sturdy, cost-effective, and easy to work with. These mats are still the favorite choice among most construction workers.

Let's take a closer look at the reasons for ground protection mats over other alternatives.While plywood is the leading alternative to ground protection mats, it will not hold up as long as ground mats. Wood is flexible but will eventually crack, warp, and splinter if it is under a great deal of pressure. Ground Protection Mats do not have this problem and are reusable for many other projects.

Even though Ground Protection Mats are more expensive you will get an ROI that is worth their weight in gold. These mats will last a very long period of time and are considered easy to work with. On the upside, ground protection mats are designed to withstand over time and not deteriorate from wear and tear which can not be said about plywood boards. Ground protection mats will continue to be a valuable application for protecting the ground and not breaking under pressure. These mats will not warp which otherwise would prevent them from lying flat on the surface.
