What is an access mat?

In its most basic form, an access mat - also known as an equipment mat, construction mat, temporary road mat, or heavy equipment mat - creates a surface on which construction equipment can function. Without mats, construction equipment such as cranes, excavators, and trucks must trek or be placed on dirt, unstable soil, wet creeks, or rocky surfaces. Construction mats can be used to build temporary roads and bridges. This allows construction equipment to pass over or create a solid base on which the equipment can be positioned to perform the tasks it is designed to perform. Welcome to contact us today or request a quote.

Why should a company use temporary road construction mats?

If your company is not already utilizing access mats, you may be wondering what benefits these access mats provide you. Some of the reasons why you should use temporary road mats for construction include

Protect the environment from harm

Heavy construction equipment can damage the environment. Because of its weight, the equipment may leave tire tracks and ruts when you drive it across muddy, wet, or soft ground. The equipment can also cause unstable soil to sink, which can change the natural appearance of the area.

Heavy equipment mats can help better support the weight of the equipment without the ground having to do all the work. This helps protect the environment from damage, so the area looks the same as it did before your equipment went in.

Prevent project delays

Your equipment may begin to sink when the ground is wet, the soil is soft or the ground is uneven. If your equipment starts to sink, it must be dug out or pulled out - which can take several hours. This can cause project delays that can be avoided simply by using access mats.

Protect your construction equipment from damage

Construction equipment can be damaged if used on unstable ground. Tires may wear out faster, or equipment may tip over. Construction mats help support the weight of construction equipment and protect it from wear and tear.
