Low-Cost, Flexible Ground Protection Options for Any Job Site

When your construction site requires quick, safe access without a long-term commitment, renting mats is the ideal option. Choose Mat offers a wide fleet of top-of-the-line construction mats to rent, with all bases covered from crane mats and composite mats to timber mats, CLT mats, and laminated mats. Whether you’re working in soft ground, working in environmentally sensitive areas, or supporting heavy equipment, our rental solutions give you all the power you need—without the expense of ownership.

Mat rental is an affordable, effective way to protect your job site, equipment, and personnel. It’s a sound value for short-term projects, one-time events, or fluctuating site conditions not justifying a complete matting investment. With nationwide delivery, flexible terms, and rapid turnaround, Select Mat keeps your project moving safely and productively.

Why Rent Construction Mats?
Buying mats may be a good move for ongoing or long-term projects—but in case you have temporary access needs, construction mat rental provides numerous benefits:

1. Reduced Initial Costs
Acquiring mats involves paying a considerable amount of money upfront. When you rent, you save money by keeping capital in reserve—you can put it to better use elsewhere—and still acquire industry-best ground protection mats.

2. Project-Based Convenience
Need mats for a few days, weeks, or months? Our rentals are adaptable by duration and volume so you can scale up or down to match the needs of each specific task.

3. No Storage or Maintenance
With Select Mat renting, you don’t have to clean, store, or repair mats after the job. We handle it all—so you can focus on the job itself.

4. Premium Product Access
Our stock boasts high-capacity construction mats that are regularly checked, cleaned, and serviced—delivering quality products ready to get the job done.

5. Environmental Compliance
Choose Mat’s ground protection mats help you meet erosion control and soil conservation requirements on environmentally sensitive or regulated projects.

Who Should Rent Construction Mats?
From developers of energy to general contractors, one-time efforts or short-term needs are better accommodated by mat rentals for businesses. Several industries that routinely benefit from mat rentals include:

• Civil and Commercial Building
• Utility and Infrastructure Projects
• Oil and Gas Field Activity
• Renewable Energy Site Developments
• Pipeline Installation, Repair, and Maintenance
• Festival and Event Operations
• Environmental Cleanups and Remediation
• Disaster Recovery and Emergency Support

Whether you are working on snow, mud, sand, or uneven ground, mat rentals provide your crew safe, assured access to the worksite.

Rental Construction Mat Solutions
Our construction mat rental options are extensive enough to respond to any work site condition, weight capacity, and logistical requirement:

1. Crane Mats
Made of solid hardwood timbers, crane mats are designed to support heavy equipment, including crawler cranes, pile drivers, and hydraulic lifts. Rent crane mats to give safe crane pads or cross soft ground without sinkage or tipping danger.

2. Timber Mats
Timber mats are heavy duty and dependable and are perfect for transporting medium to heavy loads and creating temporary roadways. Even load distribution minimizes rutting, and turf or soil is preserved.

3. Laminated Mats
Ideal for light to medium-duty traffic, laminated wood mats are a light and economical option for temporary pedestrian walks and access. They’re easy to relocate and install—perfect for utility workers and light building construction.

4. Composite Mats
Our composite ground protection mats are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which gives high strength, non-conductivity, and water and chemical resistance. They’re ideal for sensitive environments and offer excellent traction for wheeled and tracked equipment.

5. CLT Mats (Cross-Laminated Timber)
CLT mats are meant to provide increased strength and consistency. They are moisture-resistant, warp-resistant, and splitting-resistant—making them an ideal choice for long-term use or damp ground conditions.

6. Mud Mats and Temporary Roadways
For construction sites with wet, unstable ground, our mud mats and access roads offer quick, stable support to maintain equipment movement and avoid soft or flooded ground delays.

Renting Mat Use Cases
Temporary mat rental is not just a matter of saving money—it’s also about convenience and speed. Here are some situations where renting construction mats is the best solution:

• Pipeline Crossings Over Streams or Trenches
  Offer crew and equipment access roads or temporary bridges.
• Heavy Equipment Setup Zones
  Stabilize crane or excavation lift zones.
• Access Roads in Remote or Wetland Areas
  Avoid damaging preserved ground yet still offer site access.
• Storm Recovery or Emergency Response
  Install mats rapidly to support emergency vehicles in flood zones or disaster relief areas.
• Outdoor Events or Festivals
  Maintain lawns and fields while permitting pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
