Can Trucks and Trailers Drive Over Ground Protection Mats?

Trucks and trailers can use a properly planned BamaMats route on suitable, supported ground. The important question is whether your route fits the loaded vehicle and its movements. A straight pickup-truck path is a different job from backing a loaded equipment trailer into a tight backyard.

Plan for the trailer, not just the tow vehicle Measure the width needed for all tires and allow for the trailer’s path through turns. The trailer can follow a different line from the truck. Backing and steering may also need a larger protected area than a simple straight lane.

Include the loaded trailer weight, cargo and tow vehicle when describing the job. The way weight reaches the ground matters as much as the combined total. Narrow wheels, repeated passes and tight maneuvers can concentrate loads in a small area.

Keep small contact points out of the travel plan A trailer jack foot or stabilizer is not the same loading condition as a rolling tire. Use appropriate support equipment for those concentrated loads. Do not treat an ordinary travel mat as a substitute for a suitable jack pad, outrigger pad or engineered support.

For shed crews, rental-equipment customers and contractors around Cullman, Alabama and Jasper, a planned BamaMats route helps protect the outdoor approach before the delivery arrives. Keep ramps stable and follow the trailer and machine manufacturers’ loading instructions.
