The GroundUp Advantage

Won't rot, warp, or splinter - Unlike timber mats that degrade over time, our recycled HDPE mats maintain structural integrity for years of reliable service. They won't absorb moisture, won't be damaged by insects, and won't weaken from UV exposure.

Consistent performance characteristics - Every mat delivers the same load distribution and performance year after year. No degradation in strength, no unexpected failures.

All-weather reliability - Perform equally well in extreme heat, freezing cold, heavy rain, or snow. Temperature range: -40°F to 180°F.

Diverting plastic from landfills and oceans - Each RAM 3 mat contains approximately 2,400 lbs of recycled HDPE. Each RAM 4 mat contains 2,700 lbs. That's plastic waste that would otherwise pollute our environment.

Solving the timber shortage crisis - As timber supplies dwindle and costs rise, we provide a sustainable alternative that doesn't deplete natural forests.

Fully recyclable at end of life - When mats finally reach end of service (after many years), they can be recycled again into new products, contributing to a true circular economy.

ESG reporting support - We provide documentation to help you meet Environmental, Social, and Governance goals and sustainability reporting requirements.

Competitive $5/day rental rate - Our volume-based business model allows us to offer industry-leading rental rates while maintaining superior quality.

Reduced replacement frequency - 5x longer lifespan means you replace mats far less often, saving on both equipment costs and transportation expenses.

Predictable budgeting - No surprise replacements or failures mean more accurate project cost estimation.

Volume purchase discounts - For frequent users, purchase pricing starts at $1,850 per mat (20-100 units) with significant discounts for larger orders.

Uniform performance characteristics - Unlike timber which varies in quality, grain structure, and moisture content, every GroundUp mat is manufactured to identical specifications.

Predictable load capacity - Consistent material composition means reliable load distribution you can engineer around with confidence.

No variable quality issues - Timber can have knots, cracks, or hidden weaknesses. Our recycled HDPE composite has uniform strength throughout.

Proven track record - Zero mat failures reported by major customers including Duke Energy and Dominion Energy across thousands of deployment days.

No splinters or sharp edges - Recycled HDPE won't splinter, protecting workers from injury during handling and installation.

Better grip surface - Textured surface provides superior traction for workers and equipment, even in wet conditions.

Non-toxic materials - Safe for workers, safe for the environment. No chemical leaching into soil or water.

Consistent weight distribution - Uniform density eliminates weak spots that could cause equipment instability.

Meets all industry safety standards - Compliant with OSHA and industry-specific safety requirements.

24-48 hour delivery commitment - Large inventory and efficient logistics mean fast deployment when you need it.

Easier handling and installation - Integrated chain inserts and uniform weight make positioning straightforward.

Standardized dimensions - RAM 3 (4'×16') and RAM 4 (4'×18') sizes work with existing equipment and transportation.

Compatible with current practices - No learning curve or special equipment needed. Use them like traditional crane mats.

Flexible rental terms - Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom contracts to fit your project timeline.
