Ritter Forest Products offers a large variety of mats for sale and rent for industrial clients, including dragline mats which can be used for much more than just commercial applications.
Dragline mats, also referred to as digging mats, are 4 feet wide, 8 inches thick and 16 to 24 feet in length, making them width, 8 inch thickness and width varying between 16 and 24 inches. That makes these mats a perfect option for temporary roads – not only on job sites, but also for a variety of events. Let’s take a look at some nontraditional uses for dragline mats.
Access Roads
Adding some dragline mats around a rural location, like a hunting camp or remote trail, can make access much easier in all conditions. The mats provide an elevated platform that can preserve the ground beneath while also preventing you from getting stuck in the mud. They can even serve as temporary bridges over small brooks or creeks, as well.
Concert Venue
In much the same way, these mats can protect the grounds at a concert venue or festival grounds, allowing heavy trailers or machinery to get in as well as providing a protected pathway for official traffic. Plus, if you’re hosting the event on a rented property or public park, you can minimize damage and reduce the need to extensively restore the grounds afterwards.
Temporary Stages and Platforms
Speaking of outdoor events, these mats can also serve as a temporary surface for a variety of events. Whether you need a slight stage platform for musicians or an impromptu outdoor dance floor, these mats can help add the space you need quickly and easily. Plus with exposed bolts or cables, these mats can be easily maneuvered into place, making it easy to set up for your event.
The bottom line with dragline mats is that they are a great solution for protecting grounds and helping improve accessibility at any location.
