About Digger / Excavator Mats

Excavator Mats are used to provide access for tracked vehicles to areas with difficult ground conditions. They are also used to reduce axle weight pressures and reduce the risk of damage where access is required over underground services.

These mats are suitable for most types of tracked vehicles. As a guide only, this type of mat may be used to support evenly distributed weights of up to several hundred tonnes dependant on ground conditions.

All timber used in the construction of excavator mats is ungraded and therefore no stress calculations can be provided.

Made from oak, the standard size of each excavator mat is 5m x 1.2m x 0.22m
