We Supply Quality Bog Mats for Your Projects

Bog mats are temporary solutions for construction sites, sporting events, and other terrains that have to provide access to heavy machinery. When you consider the weight of these vehicles, they can cause damage to the existing surface which highlights the need for an interim solution. Road Mode is an industry leader that supplies bog mats for cranes. In keeping with our eco-friendly approach, our products contain 100 percent recycled materials.

Benefits of Using Bog Mats in Australia

Contractors and other companies working in sensitive areas must take the necessary steps to protect their immediate surroundings. Bog mats are the ideal coverage to protect the ground when heavy machinery and other construction vehicles access a site.

  • If you’re hosting an event that requires cars to park on the grass, you can use laid-out bog mats to protect the surface. The same principle applies to construction sites and vehicles. Furthermore, having the bog mats in place offers a direct pathway for vehicles to travel on, ensuring that you keep a particular order and avoid chaos.
  • Apart from vehicles causing damage to grass at a venue, bog mats serve a similar purpose for pedestrians. If there is a formal event that you’re hosting at a venue with an overwhelming presence of sand and grass, you require bog mats. Rain turns the sand into mud, and nobody wants to ruin their clothing or shoes while accessing the venue. Laying down bog mats offers guests a safe and stable route to walk to the function room and back to their vehicles. Additionally, bog mats serve a dual purpose as a stable and non-slip dance floor.
  • Sometimes construction sites are difficult to access, and other elements could worsen the situation, making it impossible for vehicles to deliver essential items. However, putting down bog mats provides a safe route for various vehicles that require access to the construction site during the project. Consequently, you avoid the situation of cars becoming stuck in muddy terrain.

Protect the Ground at Your Construction Site with a Grass Mat

Also known as a grass mat or temporary road surface, you may require a ground protection mat to protect an area of grass or another type of ground from heavy equipment. These temporary mats are heavy-duty tonnage pads for use with heavy machinery, such as cranes, or at sporting and event grounds to protect the terrain from heavy foot traffic. Road Mode provides these ground mats for businesses throughout Australia to keep sites in good condition and the workforce safe.

Benefits of Ground Mats for Heavy Equipment

If you’re on the fence about whether you need grass protection mats or not, considering their many benefits may help you decide.

  • Adaptable. A ground mat is adjustable to various weather conditions, which means that it is safe for use in wet or cold areas. You can still get the job done without having to worry about damage to the ground below, even when it’s soaking wet.
  • Easy to clean. These mats are incredibly low-maintenance. It’s easy to clean away dirt, sand, or gravel and return to its original condition. They’ll also last a long time with very minimal care.
  • Slip-resistant. Ground protection mats are non-slip by nature, allowing them to provide a stable grip for vehicles and pedestrians, even in rainy weather. These mats offer plenty of traction and a safe work surface for your site.
  • Durable. Heavy-duty ground mats are made to withstand the stress of even the heaviest equipment, from trucks to cranes. Go ahead and haul heavy loads – your pads are made of durable, high-density materials and will handle even the most strenuous jobs.
  • They help protect the environment. It’s essential to consider the environmental impacts of any construction project. Industrial matting products create an effective barrier that can protect sensitive terrains, minimising ground disturbance from heavy equipment or foot traffic. They can also help prevent soil contamination in agriculture settings and promote fast recovery of the land post-project.

Signs You Should Invest in Ground Mats

Ground protection mats are essential components of many different types of job sites. If you have an upcoming construction or other projects, you may need this temporary ground protection. Here are a few of the different types of sites that will likely require these mats.

  • Wet and muddy sites. Being affected continuously by water makes any construction project more challenging. Not only is mud messy, but it makes the work slower and more difficult, resulting in delays and hazardous working conditions. A ground mat can help keep your workers and equipment clean and dry and will wipe down easily.
  • Dry and sandy sites. Shifting, blowing sand can also wreak havoc on people and construction equipment. Ground protection mats are ideal for granular soils because they trap the sand and keep it from getting into everything. The right pad won’t break or flex under heavy loads and will prevent sinking while minimising blowing sand.
  • Environmentally sensitive sites. If your site happens to be located in an ecologically sensitive zone, such as a coastal area, damaging the ground could cost you quite a bit in fees (not to mention your business reputation). Protecting the land with construction mats can help you “leave no trace” by creating access roads as needed and preventing damage from chemical spills.

Why Road Mode is a Cost-Effective Resource

Deploying heavy-duty plastic mats does more than provide your machinery a way to move about the job site more easily. By protecting the ground surface itself, you avoid the possibility of weather creating impassable conditions. Simultaneously, the finishing touches of a job are much easier when you do not need to repair the ground surface around a new structure or installation. Oz Mats save time, make your work safer, and last for years even under tough conditions. Learn more today.
