What is the difference between crane mats and timber mats?

While they are very similar, crane mats and timber mats have subtle differences. Crane mats are heavy-duty mats that are specifically designed to support the extremely heavy weight of cranes and other heavy equipment. They are typically thicker and heavier than timber mats. Timber mats range from light-duty to heavy-duty and have broader uses, such as ground protection, temporary roadways and staging areas.

How much do timber mats weigh?

Our timber mats vary in weight depending on size, capacity and manufacturer. United Rentals’ lightest-duty timber mat weighs 1,940 pounds, while our heaviest-duty timber mat weighs up to 10,700 pounds.

Can crane and timber mats be used on uneven terrain?

Yes, timber and crane mats can be used on uneven terrain. In fact, many of our timber mats are designed to be placed on top of uneven ground such as wetlands, marshes or loose soil to protect the ground and provide access to jobsites.
