Should You Rent or Buy Ground Protection Mats?
Share
Buying ground protection mats is worth considering when your crew needs lawn access repeatedly. BamaMats give you a reusable set to bring to the next job without arranging another rental period. The right choice depends on how often you will use the mats and what each option actually costs.
Compare the full rental cost When comparing a rental quote, include the rental term, delivery, collection, cleaning, damage charges and extension fees. A delayed project can change the total. Also check that the rental mats fit the equipment and ground conditions you expect.
For a genuinely one-time project, rental may make sense if a suitable local provider is available. For landscaping, tree work or utility access throughout the season, ownership deserves a closer look.
Calculate your own break-even point Divide the total cost of your BamaMats set by the net rental cost you would avoid on each comparable job. For example, a hypothetical $3,000 set divided by $300 of avoided rental cost per job reaches ten jobs before ownership costs. These numbers illustrate the calculation; they are not BamaMats prices or local rental quotes.
Include storage, transport, handling and maintenance in your comparison. You can also reuse the set across different types of suitable outdoor access projects.
Buy around the work your crew actually does Start with the route length and width common to your jobs. A practical set should protect the normal travel lane and include enough capacity for routine turning or staging needs.
