# Bamboo Crane Mats

Canonical page: https://crocodileproducts.com/products/crane-mats

A crane mat is a heavy load-distribution platform placed under a crane, its outriggers or its tracks, to spread a concentrated point load across enough ground area that the machine stays level and stable.

**Also known as:** crane work pads, outrigger pads, 12 inch mats, digging mats, heavy duty mats.

Crane work is where load distribution stops being a convenience and becomes a safety calculation. The mat is sized from outrigger load and allowable ground bearing pressure, and the mat has to hold that rating through repeated setups rather than degrading after a season.

The independent testing behind these figures was carried out by IBST in Vietnam, with quality assurance by SGS. Ask us for the test report covering the size you are specifying.

## Common questions

### What is a crane mat used for?

A crane mat spreads the concentrated load of a crane outrigger or track across a wider ground area, reducing bearing pressure so the machine stays level and within its stability limits on ground that would otherwise fail.

### What load can a bamboo crane mat take?

Crocodile Products bamboo composite mats were tested by IBST to over 480 kN, approximately 49 tonnes, with a measured compressive strength of 87.4 MPa. Sizing for a specific lift must come from the outrigger load and the ground bearing pressure for that site, not from the test figure alone.

### How do you size a crane mat?

Divide the outrigger load by the allowable ground bearing pressure to get the required contact area, then choose a mat whose footprint meets or exceeds it. Ground bearing pressure comes from the geotechnical report, not the mat.
