Frequently Asked Questions on Our Steel Interlocking Matting
Why choose steel interlocking matting over traditional access mats?
Steel interlocking matting outperforms virtually all other options, including wood and composite access mats. Metal-to-metal interlocking systems can transfer loads directly between mats, greatly increasing the total load capacity. Steel also provides exceptional shear resistance, making steel interlocking matting the best choice for jobsites with heavy drilling, crane operations, or pipeline installations. Conventional mats can shift or settle under heavy loads, but steel matting maintains its integrity, providing optimal support for equipment and your crew.
What site conditions call for the use of steel interlocking matting instead of wood mats?
Using heavy-duty interlocking matting at job sites is essential in locations where ground conditions are compromised or where loads are exceptionally heavy. Ground that is wet, muddy, or unstable requires superior weight distribution that only steel interlocking matting can provide. Crane operations, especially those lifting loads over 500 tons, require the strength and integrity of steel.
Steel matting is also recommended in environmentally sensitive areas where soil could become contaminated if the matting degrades. Drilling rigs, equipment staging, or pipeline work also require heavier-duty matting because it holds up during multi-phase operations.
What load capacities can you expect from steel interlocking matting compared to standard mats?
Steel interlocking matting offers much higher load capacities than conventional matting. The metal interlocking mechanism allows it to distribute loads across multiple connected mats rather than concentrating them in one area. The system is capable of supporting even high-demand applications, including heavy crane operations, industrial equipment use, and mobile drilling rigs.
Wood mats can generally handle point loads of up to 200 PSI, but interlocking matting with steel construction can accommodate higher concentrated loads. The capacity will depend on your configuration, subsurface conditions, and load distribution patterns. EnerStar will provide a full site assessment to help you determine the right matting and configuration for your jobsite.
