About Heavy Equipment Mats

Our heavy equipment mats appear in many rectangular-shaped sizes and use durable materials, simplifying the process of creating a road over a long space.

Size Options

Mats measuring 6 to 8 feet long are the most common options for these access mats. You should be able to select widths ranging from 2 to 4 feet. To cover large spaces efficiently, we even offer mats that measure 8 by 14 feet.

Material Options

Our drive-on heavy equipment mats primarily consist of polyethylene plastic material. This style of plastic can support extremely large amounts of weight, and it will not degrade or fail when exposed to rough weather or excessive moisture. Because our polyethylene plastic is so durable, it has a far better level of performance than creating a temporary road out of spare plywood sheets left over at the construction site.

Common Uses for Construction Mats

Construction companies are the most common customers for our construction mats for heavy equipment. If performing work at a remote site with a lot of dirt being moved, our durable mats will keep vehicles and pedestrians from sinking into the mud.

When working in an area with an established lawn, our mats allow you to drive over the grass without tearing it up and creating unwanted ruts. We even have a transparent plastic mat that allows some sunlight to reach the grass.

Schools may use these mats to protect a track surface when driving vehicles across the track to reach the football field in the middle. These mats also work to protect the track from the cleats football and soccer players wear.
