How to Choose the Right Mats
Every project is different. From soft ground to heavy equipment to tight timelines, getting the right mat makes all the difference.
Our team is here to guide you from the first call to the final uplift, making the process simple from start to finish.
These quick tips will help point you in the right direction:
1. Ground Conditions
Is your site firm, soft, uneven or even waterlogged? Assess the terrain, as ground conditions will directly affect which mats are suitable and safe.
2. Load Requirements
Consider the weight of vehicles and equipment, and how often they will travel over the mats. Heavier or more frequent loads need stronger mats.
3. Project Duration
Longer or repeat projects often need tougher mats. For ongoing or frequent use, buying can work out more economical than hiring again and again.
4. Site Usage
Think about who and what will use the mats. Are you providing access for pedestrians, light vehicles, heavy plant, or cranes? Matching the mat to your needs ensures safety and efficiency.

We manage everything from delivery to installation and collection. This option works best for busy or complex sites and larger mat systems.
Understanding Weight Loading
- Safety and accuracy are our priorities.
- While mat ratings might sound impressive, real performance depends as much on ground conditions as on the mat itself.
- Soft or unstable ground can reduce load capacity, while larger and thicker mats help distribute weight more effectively.
- We always assess both mat capability and your site conditions, so you receive safe and reliable results.
