Solid Foundations
Providing Ground Protection & Uneven Surface Solutions
Soft ground, uneven surfaces, and poor load-bearing conditions don't have to stop your lift - the right crane mats make them a non-issue.
Crane mats are an essential but often overlooked element of a safe lifting operation. When ground conditions aren't suitable to bear the outrigger loads of a mobile crane, the right matting solution protects the surface, distributes the load, and keeps your operation fully compliant. At Lift-Rigg UK, we supply high-quality crane mats alongside our crane hire and contract lifting services, ensuring your lift has the stable, level foundation it needs — regardless of what's underneath. Whether you're working on soft ground, a sloped surface, or a sensitive area requiring ground protection, we'll specify and supply the right solution for your site.
Safe Load Distribution
Crane mats spread outrigger loads across a wider area, preventing ground failure and keeping the crane - and everyone around it - safe throughout the operation.
Protects Surfaces and Structures
From soft ground and landscaped areas to underground services and sensitive surfaces, mats prevent costly damage that could delay your project and your programme.
Keeps Your Lift LOLER Compliant
Inadequate ground support is one of the most common causes of crane incidents. Proper matting is a fundamental part of any compliant, well-planned lifting operation.
Available Alongside All Our Services
Crane mats can be specified and supplied as part of any crane hire or contract lift - making it simple to ensure your ground protection is sorted from the outset.
