Real Power Needs Real Protection
When the job calls for moving cranes, concrete trucks, or drilling rigs, temporary ground protection isn’t optional—it’s critical. The pressure and weight from heavy-duty equipment can destroy turf, crush subgrade, and crack pavement within minutes. Yet, too many crews still rely on plywood sheets that fail under load, leading to downtime, property damage, and costly cleanups.
Heavy-duty projects demand a better solution—one that can handle the weight, perform in any season, and still look professional when the job’s done. That’s where BAM! Heavy-Duty Ground Protection Mats set the standard.
Why Plywood Isn’t Built for the Heavy Jobs
Plywood might seem convenient, but under real-world equipment loads, it’s a liability.
- Cracks and splits under pressure: Even double-thick sheets buckle beneath tracked or wheeled equipment.
- Moisture absorption: Wet plywood swells and softens, losing structural integrity almost immediately.
- Unsafe footing: Once wet, it turns into a slip hazard for both operators and crews.
- Short lifespan: Most plywood won’t survive more than one or two heavy projects.
The result? Damage claims, lost time, and a site that looks like it’s been through a storm. Plywood isn’t just unfit—it’s unprofessional.
Built for 80 Tons of Confidence
Each BAM! mat is made from 3/8″ high-density polyethylene (HDPE), an advanced polymer engineered to take on the most demanding loads. With an 80-ton rating, these mats distribute pressure evenly, preventing ground displacement and rutting even under cranes, boom lifts, or fully loaded dump trucks.
HDPE doesn’t absorb moisture, crack, or splinter, making it ideal for all-season use. Whether it’s pouring rain, freezing temperatures, or scorching summer heat, BAM! mats stay solid and reliable.
For contractors running critical operations, that means no weak spots, no warped boards, and no downtime.
Engineered for Heavy Equipment
BAM!’s heavy-duty mats are designed to handle the realities of high-load jobsites:
- Consistent strength: Each mat maintains rigidity under weight without bowing or delaminating.
- Dual-sided traction: One side grips tires and tracks, while the other keeps workers steady in wet or uneven terrain.
- Lightweight handling: At just 56 lbs per 4×8 panel, crews can move and reposition mats quickly—no forklifts required.
- Uniform, professional appearance: Clean Hi-Vis Safety Green surfaces help identify pathways and signal safety on busy jobsites.
This combination of strength and appearance sets BAM! apart—no more muddy, warped plywood or makeshift “solutions” that undermine your image.
Real-World Heavy-Duty Applications
- Cranes and Boom Lifts: Distribute point loads safely and prevent outriggers from sinking.
- Concrete and Material Trucks: Protect driveways, subgrades, and staging areas during pours.
- Trenchless Drilling and Utilities: Stabilize access routes for rigs and service vehicles.
- Demolition and Excavation: Safeguard asphalt and work zones from impact and equipment wear.
In every scenario, BAM! mats eliminate the headaches that come with weak materials and restore confidence in your jobsite setup.
Why Pros Don’t Gamble with the Ground
A heavy-duty project is only as reliable as the surface it runs on. Investing in BAM! mats means fewer breakdowns, safer equipment operation, and an image that tells clients: we take this seriously.
Plywood belongs in the past—it was never designed for modern equipment or professional crews. BAM! Heavy-Duty Mats are built for the real world: stronger, safer, and smarter.
