Solid spruce provides unrivalled durability in challenging weather and environmental conditions, while our premium fibre blend offers incredible value in a wide variety of applications. All Vortex access mats are manufactured with Douglas fir outside boards with routered outside edges, providing added strength while minimizing wear in transportation, installation, and use.
Crane & Rig Mats for Heavy Operations
While general-purpose access mats are the best solution for most clients, job sites with heavy equipment or challenging terrain may require specialty access solutions.
Crane mats (also known as timber mats or heavy equipment mats) are thicker, larger access mats specifically designed to provide stable access for cranes and other heavy construction equipment. For these types of jobs, ground stabilization is critical; failure to provide a stable, level seating for cranes can lead to tipping and other catastrophic failures.
For rig and drilling operations, dedicated rig mats are the ideal access solution. They feature steel borders and other unique features for the load and stability requirements of drilling projects.
