Mat size depends on the type of traffic on the mat. Every size of our floor protector is tested for the same weight and load capacity. The following may help you get the right size mat, but are for reference only;
- Ground protection mats 4×8′ have the broadest use range and are used for anything from large construction equipment traffic to pedestrian foot traffic.
- 3×8′ Mats are desirable when price, weight, and space are a consideration. Although this size mat is more restrictive with regards to maneuvering, it is rated for the same weight capacity as the 4×8’ and can take almost all the same equipment traffic that the 4×8’ can. The exception would be, very heavy equipment over soft surfaces.
- Smaller mat sizes are typically used for residential use.
- If the load bearing is considered, the choice of thickness also needs to be considered. For example, A 12mm thick and lightweight ground protection mats can be used as a temporary pedestrian road to meet the needs, so there is no need to choose a thicker mats, which saves costs.
