Crane Mats

Crane Mats are made with eight or twelve inch thick dense hardwood timbers bolted together to create a solid pad. Contractors used them to support crawler cranes, stabilize heavy equipment, and create temporary bridges on job sites.

Crane Mats

These heavy duty equipment mats are made from 12" thick mixed dense hardwood timbers secured with steel carriage bolts to create a pad. With sizes up to 40' long, they create temporary pads for the heaviest equipment and machinery.

Timber Mats

The lighter duty alternative to Crane Mats, Timber Mats are made from 8″ thick dense hardwood timbers secured with steel carriage bolts to create a pad. Most commonly 16' or 18' long, they are made to support equipment while protecting the surrounding area.

Bridge Mats

Contractors often lay bridge mats across small creeks or on existing bridges that lack support for their equipment. They can also serve as air bridges to cross underground pipelines without putting pressure on the ground above.

Crane Mats

Pipeline Skid Service supplies heavy-duty hardwood crane mats engineered to provide a stable working surface for cranes, draglines, and heavy equipment in challenging ground conditions.


Built from mixed hardwood or all oak upon request, our crane mats are 4' wide, 12" thick, and range from 16' to 40' long. Crane mats provide added strength and weight distribution for heavier loads, air bridges, and pipeline crossings.


We also offer transition mats to create a smooth ramp onto crane pads when gravel is not an option.

Timber Mats

Made from mixed hardwood with the most common sizes being 4′ wide, 8″ thick, and 16′ to 20′ long, Timber Mats are made to support heavy equipment when traction is needed or when ground protection is a priority. Also known as Pipeline Mats, Dragline Mats, or Hardwood Mats, we have been providing this product line for over 70 years to projects all over the country. Whether you are working on a pipeline job, utility project, road construction, or site development, Timber Mats can be utilized in various ways.


More recently Timber Mats are being used to build air bridges on jobsites as a way to protect existing underground utility lines. By placing them on the ground above existing underground pipelines, contractors are able to avoid damaging those pipelines when their heavy equipment and trucks cross (this can also be accomplished with our 3ply Laminated Mats).

Bridge Mats

Made 4′ wide and 1′ thick, these mats come from 20′ long up to 40′ long and are used to create temporary bridges. Some contractors lay these down to cross small creeks along the right-a-way or on top of existing bridges that don’t have the support necessary for their equipment. They can also be used to create air bridges which is another method for crossing existing underground pipelines without putting direct pressure on the ground above them.

These are used when the ground is too marshy to support heavy equipment, or when working near paved roads where you want to avoid the cost of asphalt repairs.
