Mats alone aren’t all that we offer at Ritter Forest Products. To provide our clients with comprehensive solutions for any job site, we also offer a selection of outrigger pads and transition mats to help make your project easier – and safer! Here’s a look at how these products can help you get the job done.
Outrigging Mats
Outrigging mats provide the extra flat and solid surface you need to ensure that your crane is properly anchored and stable before operating. Oftentimes, if you are working in soft soil or wet areas, the ground around your crane position may be unsuitable for deploying outriggers. If you’re already positioned on a crane mat, there may not be the extra space to set down these stabilizers either, or the increased height above the ground may create a problem with making contact with the earth below. Outrigging mats are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, often custom-built to meet your specific needs. Each pad is constructed with durable, multilayered hardwood, as well, ensuring that these pads will help keep your crane stable, secure and – most importantly – safe, not matter the scale of your operation.
Transition Mats
At the other of the spectrum are transition mats, which serve as ramps to help move your heavy equipment safely onto crane mats or other elevated pads. These mats angle upward from 3 inches to a foot, providing a short segue route for you to drive up rather than trying to force machinery onto mats. Attempting to drive onto an elevated surface can create tipping situations easily, not to mention potentially damage equipment tires. Call us and let us provide you with transition mats to make getting your equipment where it needs to be an easier and safer process for both equipment and operators.
At Ritter Forest Products, our comprehensive inventory of crane mats, laminated mats and other construction pads and materials help make getting to hard-to-access locations or operating in rough or wet terrain an easier process. We also offer used mats for sale, and currently have great Grade A and Grade B laminated mats available.
