Bridge mats are built from durable hardwood timbers that are securely bolted together to create a strong, reliable surface for heavy equipment. Typically measuring 8 inches thick, 4 feet wide, and 16–18 feet long, these mats are designed to support machinery ranging from 10 to 40 tons. They are commonly used to create temporary crossings over streams, wetlands, and other soft or sensitive ground conditions, helping maintain stability, protect the terrain, and keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
