Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ground protection mats for heavy equipment in extreme terrain?
The best ground protection mats for heavy equipment in extreme terrain are high-strength hardwood timber mats or 12″ crane mats. These are engineered to provide a stable foundation by distributing the massive gross vehicle weight of cranes and excavators across unstable soil. Selecting the right mat depends on the specific soil PSI and equipment requirements to ensure maximum site safety and durability.

How do I choose between timber mats and composite access mats for my project?
The choice depends on your load requirements and environmental goals. Timber access mats are the industry standard for supporting heavy static loads and providing rugged stability in high-impact construction zones. Conversely, composite or CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) mats are ideal for long-term projects or sensitive areas where a lighter, uniform, and highly durable surface is required.

Do you offer both new and used access mats for sale?
Yes, Viking Mat Co. offers an extensive inventory of both new and used access mats for sale across North America. Our used timber and swamp mats undergo rigorous quality inspections to ensure they meet structural integrity and safety standards for heavy equipment support. We also provide buy-back options to help contractors manage project costs effectively.

How quickly can you deliver ground protection solutions to remote job sites?
With over 80 storage facilities across the United States, we provide rapid deployment of ground protection solutions to even the most remote locations. Our in-house logistics department specializes in both rail and over-the-road trucking to ensure your mats arrive on schedule. We offer full-service support, including placement, staging, and grading once the project is complete.

What industries benefit most from professional access matting?
Professional access matting is critical for industries such as Power Transmission, Oil and Gas, Renewable Energy, and Heavy Civil Construction. These mats prevent equipment from “miring” in soft ground and protect the environment from soil compaction. With over 100 years of experience, we help contractors in these sectors complete complex projects with increased efficiency and safety.
