Timber Mats for Sale
Beiler's Sawmill is a leading supplier of hardwood timber mats for heavy equipment, construction, and oil and gas exploration industries throughout the country. Our timber crane mats provide temporary ground support and distribute weight. As a result, heavy machinery, equipment and trucks can move more easily through soft or uneven terrain.
Each hardwood timber mat protects the underlying ground from damage to prevent soil erosion and preserve natural habitats. Using the mats for temporary access through areas reduces the need for permanent infrastructures like roads and concrete foundations, offering another way to minimize your environmental impact.
Our company provides mats from a variety of hardwoods harvested locally in Pennsylvania. We cut the wood at our sawmill with lengths up to 40' and provide metal reinforcements to enhance the strength and longevity of the platforms. With the metal installed on-site, the finished product is delivered out the door.
