Advantages of Used Mats

When you need a mat for your construction projects or industrial and commercial efforts, you want a product that is efficient and hardworking. Used mats are available at lower costs than buying new mats, and still adhere to our high standards of quality, making them a great option for your project needs. There are many advantages to used mats to consider when looking for mats for your next job.

Used mats are cheaper

When you need a mat that for your job, try buying a used mat for a cost-efficient way to ensure you receive a hardworking mat at a fraction of the cost of a new mat. Because the mats in our rental fleet are constantly turning over to ensure a second-to-none quality of mat rental, when a mat is no longer acceptable for our rental customers but still fully useful for most applications, we offer them to our customers at a discounted rate. Why shell out a lot of cash for a new mat when you can receive an almost identical product for cheaper? Used mats will save you money and still get the job done.

Used MatsUsed mats are still high quality

Though used, our mats continue to perform to Ritter Forest’s high standards and are able to withstand the tests of industrial and commercial applications, including use in power, pipeline, heavy construction, petroleum and transportation projects. Ritter Forest’s used mats are made of the same high-quality timber as our brand-new mats, so you can rest assured the products you purchase will serve you well on your job site. Used mats are offered in different grades, depending on their condition, meaning that you’ll know when you buy the mats whether they’re good for one long project or multiple jobs.

Own your mats for longer jobs or reuse them

When you buy a used mat, you are own your used mat, saving you money on longer jobs. When renting isn’t a good option but you still need ground coverage, look at purchasing used mats. Rather than having to return the mat after your rental period is up, there is no rental contract for you — you own your mat and can take all the time you need on your project. In addition, depending on the grade of the mats, you can reuse your mats for multiple projects, creating more versatility for your used mat. This is especially useful if you have several projects in the same area or expect to need mats for a long-duration job. Owning your mats saves you money and time, letting you take your mats directly from one site to the next whenever you need them.

Many commonly used mats are available

Another great advantage to used mats is there are many commonly used mats available to purchase. For example, we offer used crane mats and laminated mats in a variety of sizes to suit many different projects. All of our crane mats are constructed from oak timbers and mixed hardwoods, with lengths ranging from 12 feet to 30 feet. Our laminated mats, offered in 12-, 14- and 16-foot lengths, are constructed with the same high-grade materials as our traditional mats and are perfect for customers with lighter load demands.

Right now, we’re running a special on 8-by-16-foot laminated mats at our Houston location, including both Grade A and Grade B mats. We offer a range of mats at our other locations, too, with delivery options also available.
