Industrial-Grade Rig Mats for Temporary Ground Protection
Heavy-duty construction mats with high-quality design to protect surfaces and provide stable access in challenging terrain.
What are Rig Mats?
Rig mats are temporary ground protection solutions engineered for heavy industrial use. These durable overlays create stable work surfaces across sensitive, muddy, or swampy terrain. Whether you need mud mats for wetland protection or heavy-duty access mats for equipment movement, rig mats provide the temporary foundation your project requires.
Industries That Utilize Rig Mats
Oil & Gas Operations
Construction Projects
Wetlands & Sensitive Sites
Utility & Telecom
Why Purchase Industrial Rig Mats?

All-Weather Performance: Heavy-duty construction designed to withstand mud, water, and extreme weather conditions
Quick Installation: Temporary access solutions that can be deployed and removed rapidly
Equipment Stability: Provides level, stable surface for crane mats and heavy machinery operation
Cost-Effective: Rental and purchase options reduce expensive site remediation and restoration
Reusable & Sustainable: Durable construction mats designed for repeated use across multiple projects
Rig Mat Options from Jacob A. Weaver
Our rig mats—made from the highest quality wood harvested in Pennsylvania—minimize environmental impact on sensitive sites. Swamp mats and access mats keep equipment off fragile terrain, preventing soil compaction and protecting vegetation. When your project ends, remove the mats and the ground recovers naturally—leaving no permanent footprint.
Using cherry, oak, beech, hickory, maple, and birch, we create:
Heavy-Duty Crane Mats
Premium crane mats engineered for maximum load capacity and durability. Perfect for construction sites requiring temporary access roads and equipment staging areas.
Load capacities up to [X] lbs per square foot
Interlocking design for modular coverage
Weather-resistant construction materials
Access Mats for Mud & Swamp Terrain
Specialized access mats and swamp mats designed for soft soil and high-moisture environments. Mud mats provide stable footing in wetlands and marshy conditions.
Superior weight distribution in wet conditions
Prevents ground compaction in sensitive areas
Temporary yet durable solution for challenging terrain
Standard Construction Mats
Versatile construction mats for general project use. Ideal for temporary site access, protecting landscaping, and creating stable work surfaces.
Affordable rental and purchase options
Easy installation and removal
Suitable for most industrial applications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material | Heavy-duty composite/hardwood |
| Load Rating | XXXX |
| Dimensions | Full-sized, 8’ x 40’ and 8’ x 20’ format. Custom dimensions also available: 3-beam and 4-beam mats, including, but not limited to, 8’ x 30’, 4’ x 20’, 4’ x 30’, and 4’ x 40’. |

Notes:
Sides are boxed with 1/4” plates that are stitch welded in 6” increments.
Wood beams are positioned crossways along the mat frame and hydraulically pressured into place. This technique is used to create an extremely tight fit. It also provides excellent water-tightness, even weight distribution and increased strength.
Lifting shackles have 3 load bearing surfaces which eliminates the chance of pins bending. Drain holes are located at each shackle to keep them dry and clear of debris.
At least 45 lbs of welding wire used on each rig mat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rig Mats
-
Yes—our specialized swamp mats and wetland-rated access mats are specifically designed for marshy and sensitive environments. They distribute weight evenly to minimize ground compaction and environmental impact.
-
Flat welding is used on all welds. This technique results in deeper weld penetration, greater strength, and cleaner, non-drip welds.
-
Most construction mats utilize quick-connect systems, allowing rapid deployment. Site-specific factors may affect the timeline—we'll provide detailed scheduling with your quote.
-
We start with high-quality, Pennsylvania and other eastern USA hardwoods, known for their high density and strength. Our integrated lumber mill cuts and sorts raw timber. Then, three separate grading processes are used to select hardwood, ensuring that your mats contain only the best cuts of cherry, oak, beech, hickory, maple, and birch.
-
We do not offer rig mat rentals.
