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.

timber mats for construction

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.

Safe and Reliable Construction Site Access

Construction crews must be careful with the environment around them. Vehicles can cause stress to wetlands, swamps, marshes and other ecologically sensitive areas with loose soil. When you need to build on challenging terrain, wood mats provide your solution.

Our timber mats are used in a wide variety of applications for safe and reliable transportation. They can hold thousands of pounds, which makes them ideal for the transportation of heavy equipment. Minimizing the pressure exerted by machinery and keeping wheels and treads from tearing the ground protects the environment.

Here are a few common places where our timber mats are used:

  • Oil and gas drilling sites

Timber mats should last several years if used correctly and receive the proper care and maintenance. Some factors influencing their longevity include ground conditions, weather and how often they're used.
