We're working on our FAQ

What size mat do I need?

The size of mat you need depends on the type of equipment, its weight, and the ground conditions at your project site. Our team can advise you on the best option to ensure stability and safety.

How to work out crane mat size?

To work out the right crane mat size, you need to consider the weight of your equipment, the type of ground, and the space available on site. Heavier loads and softer soils usually require longer or thicker mats for safe support.

What size is a standard crane mat?

A standard crane mat is usually around 20 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 8 inches thick. These dimensions make them suitable for supporting heavy lifting equipment on most job sites. Luckily, Welex produces its own crane mats so different dimensions can be supplied.

What are the alternatives to crane mats?

Alternatives to crane mats include road plates, composite mats, or other types of ground protection systems. The right choice depends on the project, soil conditions, and the type of machinery being used.

How much does a 20 foot crane mat weigh?

A 20-foot crane mat typically weighs between 4,000 and 5,000 pounds, depending on the type of hardwood used. The heavy weight makes it strong enough to handle extreme loads from cranes and other heavy equipment.

What is the purpose of a crane mat?

A crane mat provides a stable and safe surface for heavy equipment to operate on soft or uneven ground. It helps distribute the weight evenly, preventing machines from sinking and protecting the underlying surface.
