Timber Bog Mats
Timber bog mats are heavy-duty hardwood mats that spread the load of plant, vehicles and foot traffic to create stable, temporary access roads or a working platform on soft, muddy or waterlogged ground. Timber bog mat hire is a practical solution wherever ground conditions won't take the weight. GAP Hire Solutions' range includes hardwood mats in 70mm, 100mm, 140mm and 200mm thicknesses, so you can match the mat to the ground conditions and weight of the plant or vehicles crossing it. Bog mat hire is used to support cranes, piling rigs and other heavy plant, to build temporary haul roads and crane pads, and to provide safe access across marsh, mud or grass for utilities, civils and forestry work. Crane and piling contractors, civils and utilities teams, and forestry crews hire timber bog mats because they provide steady traction and load-bearing capacity that ordinary ground can't, without the cost or disruption of a permanent access road. Where extra durability or a lighter mat is needed, plastic track mats are worth considering as an alternative, but timber remains the go-to choice for supporting the heaviest loads. GAP Hire Solutions has timber bog mats in depots for hire, nationwide.
