United Rentals, which acquired YAK ACCESS, leads the pack in providing top-quality ground protection mats and expert matting services. Our national footprint, best-in-the-industry product supply and turnkey services make us the perfect partner for your next project, no matter how large or small.
Why Your Projects Need Mats
Having the right mats in the right place minimizes risks, delays and environmental impact. Our teams customize solutions and recommend the best mat for the job rather than relying on products from a single manufacturer.
Safety
Stable passage over challenging terrain, increased traction for people and vehicles and protection against heavy equipment tip-overs lead to increased safety and fewer accidents.
Productivity
Matting makes jobsite access easy, keeps equipment from getting stuck in the mud, allows crews to work in inclement weather and reduces equipment maintenance needs, keeping projects on schedule.
Sustainability
Guarding against soil compaction, erosion, runoff and damage to delicate ecosystems helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations and minimizes site restoration and the associated costs.
