When a job gets moved up, a rain delay clears unexpectedly, or a crew realizes mid-setup that they don’t have enough mat coverage, the question becomes immediate: where can I get ground protection mats today?
BAM! Bad Ass Mats are distributed through a national network of regional distributors. This isn’t a central-warehouse model where everything ships from one location. It’s a distributed inventory model designed to put mats closer to where contractors work—and to get them there faster when timelines compress.
Why Regional Distribution Matters for Contractors
Shorter lead times
Ordering from a distributor 100 miles away delivers faster than ordering from a warehouse across the country. Regional inventory means 1 to 3 day delivery in most markets—not a week or more.
Local market knowledge
Regional BAM! distributors understand the contractor market in their territory. They know the seasonal patterns, the common job types, and the quantities contractors in that market typically need. That knowledge makes product planning conversations more useful.
Reduced freight cost
Ground protection mats are large and relatively heavy. Shorter shipping distances reduce freight costs. Buying from a regional distributor is usually more cost-effective than buying direct and paying cross-country freight.
Emergency restocking
A large project expands scope. A distributor down the road can sometimes accommodate emergency orders that a distant warehouse cannot fulfill on short notice.

What to Ask When You Contact a BAM! Distributor
Current inventory availability
Confirm that the distributor has the quantity you need in stock. For large orders—full pallet quantities or multiple sets for a large project—it’s worth confirming before expecting same-day or next-day delivery.
Available sizes
BAM! mats come in 4×8 and 2×8 sizes. Many distributors carry both. Confirm which sizes are available in your market, especially if your job requires 2×8 panels for tight access work.
Delivery options and lead times
Confirm how quickly delivery is available and whether expedited delivery options exist for urgent needs. Some distributors offer will-call (pickup at their location) in addition to delivery.
Rental availability
Some BAM! distributors offer mat rental programs for contractors who need mats for a specific project but aren’t ready for a full purchase. Ask about rental options if this fits your situation.
Planning Your Purchase: Quantity Guide
First purchase (new to mats): 12 to 16 BAM! 4×8 panels — enough for a standard residential job setup
Active single-crew operation: 20 to 30 panels — full coverage on most jobs without counting panels
Multi-crew operation: 20 to 30 panels per truck — each crew independently equipped
Rental company starter set: 2 to 4 sets (8 to 12 panels per set) — allows parallel rentals
Event management company: 40 to 60+ panels — walkways plus equipment routes at full-scale events
What to Expect from BAM! Mats When They Arrive
BAM! 4×8 panels arrive stacked on a pallet. Each panel is Hi-Vis Safety Green, 3/8 inch thick, with 8 hand holds and the dual-sided tread design visible on both faces. Inspect panels on arrival to confirm they meet specification.
The 3-year warranty is backed by Allied Plastics. If any panel arrives with a manufacturing defect, contact BAM! at 888-870-8158 or msheridan@alliedplastics.com immediately.
