Common questions
A few practical answers about our mats, delivery and engineering information.
Can I hire or purchase bog mats?
Both hire and purchase options are available. Contact the team to confirm the sizes, quantities and timing for your project.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Delivery can be arranged across Australia. Share your site location and access requirements so the team can confirm the delivery options.
Are your steel mats engineered?
Our steel bog mats are designed by structural engineers. Ask the team for the engineering report and load rating information for your selected model.
Can I collect mats from your depot?
Collection from the Laverton North depot is available by appointment. You will need suitable transport and load restraint equipment.
How do I choose a mat for my ground conditions?
Mat selection depends on the outrigger load, mat area and the allowable ground bearing pressure at your site. A mat’s load rating is not a ground pressure limit. Review the relevant engineering information and site assessment before selecting a mat.
