Crane Mats – Supporting Far More Than Just Cranes!

 

Also known as digging mats, bridge mats, timber access mats, or construction mats, ‘crane mats’ is the name commonly heard in western Canada and the western US. Depending on the load requirements and soil conditions, our premium mats are constructed from solid 10in. square or 8in. square oak, or solid 12 in. square Douglas fir timbers, affixed with steel rod bolts on 4-foot centers. The bolts are secured by impact-wrench tightened, countersunk nuts. Multiple lifting options such as exposed bolts, cables, or chains can be installed as determined in our assessment of your requirements. Paradox can also provide mats custom-built and sized to suit specific requirements. More information and mat specifications can be found.

Note that we will always work with you to thoroughly evaluate your requirements, including expected return-on-investment considerations such as mat longevity and reusability, then engineer a fit-for-purpose solution.
