TRANSITION MATS

Whenever heavy equipment has to be deployed to a project site, access is of the utmost importance. Job sites often have uneven or rough terrain, or they feature environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands. Creating a safe and stable platform for cranes and other large machines is crucial for ensuring the job is done right without damaging the property. That is why contractors use temporary roadways and platforms built from heavy-duty hardwood to support and transport their machinery. That is also why they supplement those solutions with transition mats from YAK MAT. Read on to learn about how our transition mat products make work easier in a variety of industries.

  • Made of dense hardwoods
  • Notched for easy lifting
  • Ramped edges for easy crossing
  • Various sizes including custom sizing available

Recommended Utilizations

These mats are versatile enough to be used for a variety of functions on the jobsite, including as heavy machinery ramps and more. They can be used for:

  • Transition ramps for access roads and bridges
  • Track equipment and rubber tire equipment/vehicles

Not Recommended Utilizations

Although they can serve a number of purposes for your project, there are certain situations where these mats are not recommended for use. These include:

  • Not for use on ice

Transition mats can be utilized in a number of project types across a wide selection of industries. For example, they can be used in civil projects as a smoother shift between existing roads and temporary ramps for construction trucks. Without these in use, contractors may have a difficult time reaching matting set up for their crane or excavators. They also may experience a greater risk of injuries caused by sudden drop-offs from the edges of their matting.
