Flexible Ground Protection Solutions That Fit Your Timeline and Budget

In today’s fast-paced construction and infrastructure industries, access to dependable ground protection is critical—but holding a full inventory of construction mats isn’t always possible. That’s where Select Mat steps in with a wide range of mat leasing options to allow contractors, utility firms, and project managers to get the mats they need, when they need them—without the long-term cost.

Whether you’re building a temporary access road, crane pad, or providing support over soft ground for heavy equipment, renting mats from Select Mat gives you the versatility to protect your site, your team, and your equipment—while maintaining cost and logistics under control.

What Is Mat Leasing?
Leasing mats entails renting construction mats for a period of time, instead of purchasing them. It is an inexpensive and convenient option for businesses in need of ground protection for short-term projects, seasonal work, or uncertain job site conditions.

Mat’s rental program provides a wide variety of construction mats—timber mats, crane mats, laminated mats, composite mats, and CLT mats—that can be rented on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. We even offer delivery, pickup, and installation service so your rental mats are installed and ready for work.

Why Rent Construction Mats?
Leasing mats is advantageous over buying, especially for contractors or businesses working on various projects across different regions. The following is how we’ve been able to persuade most of our clients to lease:

1. Lesser Upfront Expenses
Purchasing mats requires a large initial investment. Leasing saves you from the need to make significant initial payments, allowing your resources to be utilized elsewhere in your project.

2. Scalability
Projects are of all sizes, terrain, and lengths. By leasing, you’re free to adjust your mat inventory up or down to meet the project needs, never having more mats than you can use or running short in busy times.

3. Less Storage and Maintenance
Having mats means storing them when they’re not in use and maintaining them between projects. Leasing assigns that duty to Select Mat—releasing space and time for your crew.

4. Immediate Availability of High-Quality, Clean Mats
Our inventory of leased mats includes mats that are periodically inspected, cleaned, and maintained. You receive mats in good condition, ready for use and in environmental and safety compliance.

5. Fast Turnaround
Need mats rushed to you? Our leasing option is optimized for speed, allowing you to move fast without procurement delays.

Industries That Benefit from Leasing Mats
From day-long access needs to multi-month infrastructure installation, mat leasing is used across a broad array of industries, including:

Construction and Civil Engineering
Use rented mats to construct access roads, work platforms, and staging areas.

• Oil and Gas Operations
  Protect sensitive ground while relocating rigs, equipment, and materials.
• Utility and Transmission Projects
  Give bucket trucks and cranes safe access to remote or wet areas.
• Renewable Energy Development
  Construct stable crane pads and work areas for wind and solar installations.
• Environmental Remediation
  Prevent disturbance of wetlands, forest lands, and protected ecosystems.
• Event and Festival Grounds
  Rent mats to lay out lawns, dirt roads, and pedestrian paths for large groups.

Our Leasing Inventory
Select Mat is a complete inventory of ground protection products available for rent. All types of mat serve a specialized purpose depending on your project’s conditions and loading requirements:

1. Crane Mats
Constructed with solid hardwood timbers, crane mats support heavy loads and are ideal for heavy lift work. Rent crane mats to build crane pads, bridge soft soils, or level heavy equipment.

2. Timber Mats
Our timber mats are perfect for general site access and heavy support. They’re also employed for equipment stabilization, temporary roads, and excavation platforms.

3. Laminated Mats
Laminated timber mats are cost-effective and lightweight for light to medium-duty access needs. They’re ideal for residential building, pedestrian walkways, and utility work.

4. Composite Mats
Composite mats consist of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are reusable, water-resistant, and non-conductive—perfect for power transmission work, environmental use, or soft soil conditions.

5. CLT Mats (Cross-Laminated Timber)
CLT mats offer engineered strength and consistency across each unit. They’re the perfect choice when you need a combination of heavy load bearing and convenience in handling.
