What Are Road Mats?
Road mats are heavy-duty, load-carrying panels that disperse vehicle and equipment traffic over unsound ground conditions. Typically made of wood, composite, or laminated timber, road mats serve as temporary infrastructure—transferring impassable work sites into usable, workable space.

Generally used as temporary roads, haul roads, or site access roads, road mats prevent vehicles from getting stuck in mud, reduce soil compaction, and protect underlying surfaces from damage. Road mats are required on construction sites where ground conditions change with weather or where environmental conservation is essential.

Why Choose Road Mats from Select Mat?
Select Mat’s pressure-resistant road mats. With durability and flexibility in mind, our mats maintain your equipment, crews, and project timelines. Here’s why market leaders select our products:

1. Enhanced Job Site Safety
Road mats provide a firm, level surface for vehicles and equipment, reducing the risk of accidents, rollovers, and equipment instability on soft or uneven ground.

2. Enhanced Load Distribution
Our mats distribute the weight of heavy equipment evenly across a broader surface area, preventing rutting and minimizing ground disturbance—even in soggy or sandy conditions.

3. Environmental Protection
By minimizing surface disturbance and preserving root systems and topsoil, road mats prevent environmentally sensitive areas from being disturbed and facilitate compliance with erosion control regulations.

4. Rapid Deployment and Extraction
Road mats are easy to install and dispose, making them ideal for aggressive construction schedules and sites requiring quick mobilization or demobilization.

5. Long-Lasting and Reusable
Built to last through repeated use, Select Mat’s road mats are an affordable and eco-friendly solution for temporary ground access—paying dividends in the long term and reducing the need for permanent roads or gravel fill.

Road Mat Applications Across Industries
Mat’s road mats are trusted by a broad range of industries for their durability and versatility. Some common applications include:

• Oil and Gas Fields
  Supply access to drilling pads and equipment staging locations in remote or weathered locations.
• Pipeline and Utility Installations
  Build haul roads and crossing locations over ditches, streams, and rough ground.
• Wind and Solar Energy Projects
  Use mats to access turbine bases, solar arrays, and staging areas in off-road or rural locations.
• Power Transmission and Substations
  Protect grasslands and dirt access roads during pole setting or maintenance operations.
• Disaster Relief and Emergency Response
  Deploy quickly over washed-out roads or marshland for recovery vehicles and utility personnel.
• Event Access Roads
  Protect turf and deliver rugged roads for equipment and foot traffic at concerts, festivals, or outdoor expos.

Our Road Mat Solutions
We offer a full inventory of road mats suitable for all ground types and load requirements. Whether your site is facing rain-soaked ground or needs to bridge uneven terrain, we’ve got a matting solution ready.

1. Timber Road Mats
Made of solid hardwood timbers, these mats are ideal for heavy-duty construction equipment, including cranes and excavators. They are strong and durable enough to be used for long periods of time in severe conditions.

2. Composite Road Mats
Composite mats are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which makes them light, reusable, and resistant to chemicals. They are most effective in wet or environmentally sensitive conditions and can be easily handled by hand or light machinery.

3. CLT Road Mats (Cross-Laminated Timber)
CLT mats offer the stability of engineered wood with better load carrying capacity. CLT mats are ideal for situations where uniform strength, stability, and resistance to moisture are required.

4. Laminated Road Mats
Laminated mats are constructed by laminating multiple planks, thus being lighter in weight and easier to handle than standard timber mats. Suitable for light-to-medium-duty vehicles and staging areas.

5. Custom Road Mats
Require a unique size, connector style, or reinforced frame? We can offer custom fabrication to meet unique site requirements, like tailored widths for haul roads or added traction surfaces.

Temporary Roadways Made Easy
Building temporary roads with Select Mat’s road mats is faster and more efficient than hauling and broadcasting gravel. Our matting systems are:

• Modular and Interlocking – Snap mats together for long roads.
• Stackable for Storage – Store easily between uses without taking up space.
• Reversible – Extend mat life and improve traction by using both sides.
• Adaptable to Multiple Soils – From muddy construction site entry points to sandy wind farm sites, our mats adapt to your terrain.

With Select Mat, you can build a 100-foot access road or a multi-mile haul road with less environmental stress and lower costs.

Rent or Buy Road Mats
We offer flexible purchase and rental options at Select Mat to suit your project timeline and budget. Renting is best for short-term or seasonal projects, while buying is more economical for long-term or repeat projects.
